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

The ability to control the motion of mechanical systems through interaction with light has
opened the door to a plethora of applications in fundamental and applied physics. With …

Continuously measured quantum systems are characterized by an output current, in the form
of a stochastic and correlated time series, which conveys crucial information about the …

Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon whereby systems cannot be described
independently of each other, even though they may be separated by an arbitrarily large …

The last decade has seen unprecedented effort in dark matter model building at all mass
scales coupled with the design of numerous new detection strategies. Transformative …

Quantum mechanics sets a limit for the precision of continuous measurement of the position
of an oscillator. We show how it is possible to measure an oscillator without quantum back …

Quantum mechanics dictates that the precision of physical measurements must always
comply with certain noise constraints. In the case of interferometric displacement …

Optomechanical systems have been exploited in ultrasensitive measurements of force,
acceleration and magnetic fields. The fundamental limits for optomechanical sensing have …

Quantum mechanics dictates that a continuous measurement of the position of an object
imposes a random quantum back-action (QBA) perturbation on its momentum. This …

It is an open question whether mechanical resonators can be made nonlinear with vibrations
approaching the quantum ground state. This requires the engineering of a mechanical …
