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

Quantum physics has intrigued scientists and philosophers alike, because it challenges our
notions of reality and locality—concepts that we have grown to rely on in our macroscopic …

The ability to accurately control the dynamics of physical systems by measurement and
feedback is a pillar of modern engineering. Today, the increasing demand for applied …

Controlling a quantum system by using observations of its dynamics is complicated by the
backaction of the measurement process—that is, the unavoidable quantum disturbance …

A groundbreaking text and reference book on twenty-first-century classical physics and its
applications This first-year graduate-level text and reference book covers the fundamental …

State-of-the-art laser frequency stabilization by high-finesse optical cavities is limited
fundamentally by thermal noise-induced cavity length fluctuations. We present a novel …

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 …

Nearly a century after Einstein first predicted the existence of gravitational waves, a global
network of Earth-based gravitational wave observatories,,, is seeking to directly detect this …

In real-time quantum feedback protocols,, the record of a continuous measurement is used
to stabilize a desired quantum state. Recent years have seen successful applications of …
