Summary
The Les Houches Summer School in August 2015 covered the emerging fields of cavity optomechanics and quantum nanomechanics. Optomechanics is flourishing and its concepts and techniques are now applied to a wide range of topics. Modern quantum optomechanics was born in the late 1970s in the framework of gravitational wave interferometry, with an initial focus on the quantum limits of displacement measurements. Carlton Caves, Vladimir Braginsky, and others realized that the sensitivity of the a…

About The Author
Pierre-François Cohadon
Pierre-Francois Cohadon’s research focuses on optomechanics experiments at LKB, exploring quantum properties of light and mechanical resonators. He also works in the Virgo Collaboration on radiation-pressure effects and sensitivity gains using squeezed light in the Advanced Virgo gravitational interferometer.
Jack Harris studies the quantum aspects of motion in macroscopic objects, using ultrasensitive force detectors to measure quantum fluctuations and explore topological features in coupled oscillators.
Florian Marquardt applies tools from condensed matter theory and quantum optics to nanophysics and quantum optics, addressing quantum and classical dynamics with a focus on experimental applications. His interests include cavity optomechanics, nanomechanics, quantum information processing, quantum many-body physics, and machine learning for physics.
Leticia Cugliandolo is Professor at Pierre and Marie Curie University, working on statistical physics and field theory with applications to soft and hard condensed matter. She has written over 130 scientific papers and has been a coeditor of the Les Houches book series since 2007.
