Nanomechanics has brought mesoscopic physics into the world of vibrations. Because
nanomechanical systems are small, fluctuations are significant, the vibrations already …

The Jaynes–Cummings Model (JCM) has recently been receiving increased attention as
one of the simplest, yet intricately nonlinear, models of quantum physics. Emphasising the …

Cavity optomechanical systems enable interactions between light and mechanical
resonators, providing a platform both for fundamental physics of macroscopic quantum …

In this Review, the theory and applications of optical micro‐and nano‐resonators are
presented from the underlying concept of their natural resonances, the so‐called quasi …

We present a comprehensive overview of sensor technology exploiting optical whispering
gallery mode (WGM) resonances. After a short introduction we begin by detailing the …

Controlling and reversing the effects of loss are major challenges in optical systems. For
lasers, losses need to be overcome by a sufficient amount of gain to reach the lasing …

Optical systems combining balanced loss and gain provide a unique platform to implement
classical analogues of quantum systems described by non-Hermitian parity–time (PT) …

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

Photonic nanostructures provide a means of tailoring the interaction between light and
matter and the past decade has witnessed tremendous experimental and theoretical …

Insights from spectroscopic experiments led to the development of quantum mechanics as
the common theoretical framework for describing the physical and chemical properties of …
