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

The search for experimental demonstration of the quantum behavior of macroscopic
mechanical resonators is a fast growing field of investigation and recent results suggest that …

We provide a general framework to describe cooling of a micromechanical oscillator to its
quantum ground state by means of radiation-pressure coupling with a driven optical cavity …

The most striking feature of quantum mechanics is the existence of superposition states,
where an object appears to be in different situations at the same time. The existence of such …

Quantum state preparation of mesoscopic objects is a powerful playground for the
elucidation of many physical principles. The field of cavity optomechanics aims to create …

Rapid experimental progress has recently allowed the use of light to prepare macroscopic
mechanical objects into nearly pure quantum states. This research field of quantum …

We perform an analysis of the optomechanical entanglement between the experimentally
detectable output field of an optical cavity and a vibrating cavity end-mirror. We show that by …

We theoretically investigate quantum entanglement and coherence in a hybrid Laguerre–
Gaussian rotating cavity optomechanical system with two-level atoms, where cavity and …

Optically levitated nano-objects in vacuum are among the highest quality mechanical
oscillators, and thus of great interest for force sensing, cavity quantum optomechanics, and …

Intense laser ionization expands Einsteins photoelectric effect rules giving a wealth of
phenomena widely studied over the last decades. In all cases, so far, photons were …
