Language of instruction :

Description :
The course will introduce the emerging fields of optomechanics and nanomechanics,
which have recently converged and cover both quantum optics and condensed matter experiments.

We will cover:
- quantum limits in interferometric measurements
(with applications from table-top experiment to large-scale gravitational-wave interferometers)
- weak force measurements with nanomechanical resonators (atomic force microscopy, mass sensing with nanotubes or graphene)
- quantum signatures of mechanical motion close to the quantum ground state
- hybrid quantum systems (mechanical systems coupled to atoms or NV centers...)
- applications in quantum information (optical <—> microwave transduction at the quantum level, using radiation-pressure coupling)
- tests of the foundations of quantum mechanics (decoherence of macroscopic objects)
