The field of cavity optomechanics is reviewed. This field explores the interaction between
electromagnetic radiation and nanomechanical or micromechanical motion. This review …

Quantum mechanics, through the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, imposes limits on the
precision of measurement. Conventional measurement techniques typically fail to reach …

Tests of quantum mechanics on a macroscopic scale require extreme control over
mechanical motion and its decoherence,–. Quantum control of mechanical motion has been …

Continuously measured quantum systems are characterized by an output current, in the form
of a stochastic and correlated time series, which conveys crucial information about the …

Controlling a quantum system by using observations of its dynamics is complicated by the
backaction of the measurement process—that is, the unavoidable quantum disturbance …

The coupling of optical and mechanical degrees of freedom is the underlying principle of
many techniques to measure mechanical displacement, from macroscale gravitational wave …

In real-time quantum feedback protocols,, the record of a continuous measurement is used
to stabilize a desired quantum state. Recent years have seen successful applications of …

Nanoscale mechanical oscillators are used as ultrasensitive detectors of force, mass and
charge. Nanomechanical oscillators have also been coupled with optical and electronic …

We propose an experiment for creating quantum superposition states involving of the order
of 10 14 atoms via the interaction of a single photon with a tiny mirror. This mirror, mounted …
