Since the pioneering works by Landau, Zener, Stückelberg, and Majorana (LZSM), it has
been known that driving a quantum two-level system results in tunneling between its states …

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

In the past 20 years, impressive progress has been made both experimentally and
theoretically in superconducting quantum circuits, which provide a platform for manipulating …

An extensively pursued current direction of research in physics aims at the development of
practical technologies that exploit the effects of quantum mechanics. As part of this ongoing …

Mechanical objects have important practical applications in the fields of quantum information
and metrology as quantum memories or transducers for measuring and connecting different …

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

Hybrid quantum circuits combine two or more physical systems, with the goal of harnessing
the advantages and strengths of the different systems in order to better explore new …

By exploiting recent developments associated with coupled microcavities, we introduce the
concept of the PT-symmetric phonon laser with balanced gain and loss. This is …

Quantum mechanics provides a highly accurate description of a wide variety of physical
systems. However, a demonstration that quantum mechanics applies equally to macroscopic …

The experimental investigation of quantum devices incorporating mechanical resonators
has opened up new frontiers in the study of quantum mechanics at a macroscopic level. It …
