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

The rise of quantum information science has provided new perspectives on quantum
mechanics, as well as a common language for quantum engineering. The focus on platforms …

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

The advent of laser cooling techniques revolutionized the study of many atomic-scale
systems, fuelling progress towards quantum computing with trapped ions and generating …

Demonstrating and exploiting the quantum nature of macroscopic mechanical objects would
help us to investigate directly the limitations of quantum-based measurements and quantum …

The application of portable, easy‐to‐use and highly sensitive lab‐on‐a‐chip biosensing
devices for real‐time diagnosis could offer significant advantages over current analytical …

Macroscopic mechanical oscillators have been coaxed into a regime of quantum behaviour
by direct refrigeration or a combination of refrigeration and laser-like cooling,. This result …

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 …

Mechanical systems are ideal candidates for studying quantum behavior of macroscopic
objects. To this end, a mechanical resonator has to be cooled to its ground state and its …

We review the emerging field of optomechanics, where the radiation pressure of light
circulating inside an optical cavity is employed to cool, manipulate and read out micro-and …
