In the past 20 years, impressive progress has been made both experimentally and
theoretically in superconducting quantum circuits, which provide a platform for manipulating …

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

A central goal within quantum optics is to realize efficient, controlled interactions between
photons and atomic media. A fundamental limit in nearly all applications based on such …

We discuss a general method for constructing nonreciprocal, cavity-based photonic devices,
based on matching a given coherent interaction with its corresponding dissipative …

Interfacing a single photon with another quantum system is a key capability in modern
quantum information science. It allows quantum states of matter, such as spin states of …

The simple mechanical oscillator, canonically consisting of a coupled mass–spring system,
is used in a wide variety of sensitive measurements, including the detection of weak forces …

Controlling the interaction between localized optical and mechanical excitations has
recently become possible following advances in micro-and nanofabrication techniques,. So …

Electromagnetically induced transparency is a quantum interference effect observed in
atoms and molecules, in which the optical response of an atomic medium is controlled by an …

Topological states of matter are particularly robust, since they exploit global features of a
material's band structure. Topological states have already been observed for electrons …

Thermal mechanical motion hinders the use of a mechanical system in applications such as
quantum information processing. Whereas the thermal motion can be overcome by cooling a …
