Macroscopic quantum mechanics: theory and experimental concepts of optomechanics

Abstract: Abstract. 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 optomechanics opens new doors toward testing quantum mechanics, and possibly other laws of physics, in new regimes. In the first part of this paper, I will review a set of techniques of quantum measurement theory that are often used to analyze quantum optomechanical systems. Some of these techniques were originally designed to anal… Show more

“…whereĤ OM is the standard optomechanics Hamiltonian for our system [3]. We have ignored corrections due to light's gravity because we are operating in the Newtonian regime, where mass dominates the generation of the gravitational field.Ĥ generates the following linearized state-dependent Heisenberg equations (with the dynamics of the cavity field adiabatically eliminated, and the "H" subscript omitted):…”

“…Macroscopic entanglement is a research field full of curiosity, and quantum optomechanical system is now considered to be useful for its investigation [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Generally speaking, the degree of entanglement is usually small (logarithmic negativity E N < 0.7) near the zero temperature.…”

“…4,5 Thus, researchers in these fields extensively studied the quality factor of various materials used in these experiments. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] The related concept of decoherence in quantum mechanical systems also drives researchers of hybrid quantum systems, 12 macroscopic quantum mechanics, 13 cavity opto-mechanics, 14 and superfluid opto-mechanics 15 to design and explore systems with high quality factors.…”
