A generic optomechanical system consists of a mechanical degree of freedom coupled to a laser-driven photonic mode. Recent experiments aim towards the quantum regime of mechanical motion. In addition, there is a trend towards strongly enhanced light-mechanics coupling. Here we show first theoretical predictions for the ultrastrong coupling regime, where single photons in the cavity are able to strongly affect the mechanical system.
