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

We review the recent developments and the current status in the field of quantum-gas cavity
QED. Since the first experimental demonstration of atomic self-ordering in a system …

A phase transition describes the sudden change of state of a physical system, such as
melting or freezing. Quantum gases provide the opportunity to establish a direct link …

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

This is a review of state-of-the-art theory and experiment of the motion of cold and ultracold
atoms coupled to the radiation field within a high-finesse optical resonator in the dispersive …

Recent experimental developments in diverse areas—ranging from cold atomic gases to
light-driven semiconductors to microcavity arrays—move systems into the focus which are …

Monitoring a mechanical object's motion, even with the gentle touch of light, fundamentally
alters its dynamics. The experimental manifestation of this basic principle of quantum …

For centuries, physical imaging tools have been opening new frontiers in biology. The
discovery of the cell nucleus by Scottish botanist Robert Brown was made possible by early …

We review the emerging field of optomechanics, where the radiation pressure of light
circulating inside an optical cavity is employed to cool, manipulate and read out micro-and …

Recently, remarkable advances have been made in coupling a number of high-Q modes of
nano-mechanical systems to high-finesse optical cavities, with the goal of reaching regimes …
