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

In contrast to the spatial Bell's inequalities which probe entanglement between spatially
separated systems, the Leggett–Garg inequalities test the correlations of a single system …

In force sensing, optomechanics, and quantum motion experiments, it is typically
advantageous to create lightweight, compliant mechanical elements with the lowest possible …

A major goal in optomechanics is to observe and control quantum behaviour in a system
consisting of a mechanical resonator coupled to an optical cavity. Work towards this goal …

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 present an atom-chip-based realization of quantum cavity optomechanics with cold
atoms localized within a Fabry-Perot cavity. Effective subwavelength positioning of the …

Optomechanical systems explore and exploit the coupling between light and the mechanical
motion of macroscopic matter. A nonlinear coupling offers rich new physics, in both quantum …

We explore the physics of optomechanical systems in which an optical cavity mode is
coupled parametrically to the square of the position of a mechanical oscillator. We derive an …

Although the interaction between light and motion in cavity optomechanical systems is
inherently nonlinear, experimental demonstrations to date have allowed a linearized …

Quantum manipulation of macroscopic mechanical systems is of great interest in both
fundamental physics and applications ranging from high-precision metrology to quantum …
