Quantum Optics Seminar by Ivan Favero
Optomechanics: some new directions
Optomechanical devices, in which light interacts with miniature
mechanical resonators, offer a new window on intermediate physical
complexity. Not only can they mutually interact and adopt regular
collective behavior, but they also advance the resolution and speed of
probes evolving in complex physical environments. We will discuss
explorations of these new research lines in optomechanics, going from
elementary quantum systems up to an interface with liquids and
soft-matter.
