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

Control of chaos refers to a process wherein a tiny perturbation is applied to a chaotic
system, in order to realize a desirable (chaotic, periodic, or stationary) behavior. We review …

We analyze the photon statistics of a weakly driven optomechanical system and discuss the
effect of photon blockade under single-photon strong coupling conditions. We present an …

We present a quantum-mechanical theory of the cooling of a cantilever coupled via radiation
pressure to an illuminated optical cavity. Applying the quantum noise approach to the …

Optomechanics experiments are rapidly approaching the regime where the radiation
pressure of a single photon displaces the mechanical oscillator by more than its zero-point …

We propose an experiment for creating quantum superposition states involving of the order
of 10 14 atoms via the interaction of a single photon with a tiny mirror. This mirror, mounted …

In cavity optomechanics, nanomechanical motion couples to a localized optical mode. The
regime of single-photon strong coupling is reached when the optical shift induced by a …

Optomechanical systems have been shown both theoretically and experimentally to exhibit
an analogon to atomic electromagnetically induced transparency, with sharp transmission …

We provide a general quantum theory to describe the coupling of light with the motion of a
dielectric object inside a high-finesse optical cavity. In particular, we derive the total …

Cavity optomechanics is showing promise for studying quantum mechanics in large
systems. However, the smallness of the radiation-pressure coupling is a serious hindrance …
