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

Mechanical systems prepared in quantum non-Gaussian states constitute a new advanced
class of phenomena breaking the laws of classical physics. Specifically, such mechanical …

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 …

Quantum squeezing in mechanical systems is not only a key signature of macroscopic
quantum effects, but can also be utilized to advance the metrology of weak forces. Here we …

We theoretically explore nonlinearities of ferromagnets in microwave cavities in the classical
and quantum regimes and assess the resources for quantum information, ie, fluctuation …

We show how to use the radiation pressure optomechanical coupling between a mechanical
oscillator and an optical cavity field to generate in a heralded way a single quantum of …

We introduce an approach to quantum information processing where the information is
stored in the motional degrees of freedom of nanomechanical devices. The qubits of our …

Classically, the tendency towards spontaneous synchronization is strongest if the natural
frequencies of the self-oscillators are as close as possible. We show that this wisdom fails in …

Generating macroscopic nonclassical quantum states is a long-standing challenge in
physics. Anharmonic dynamics is an essential ingredient to generate these states, but for …

We study a hybrid system formed from an optomechanical resonator and a cavity mode
strongly coupled to an excitonic transition inside a quantum well. We show that due to the …
