SYFL 2: Frontiers of Light (SYFL)

SYFL 2.1: Invited Talk

Tuesday, March 17, 2015, 13:50–14:20, H 0105

Quantum Optomechanics — •Markus Aspelmeyer — University of Vienna, Faculty of Physics, Vienna Center for Quantum Science and Technology (VCQ), Vienna, Austria

The quantum optical control of solid-state mechanical devices, quantum optomechanics, has recently emerged as a new frontier of light-matter interactions. It offers fascinating opportunities both for fundamental tests of quantum physics, eventually at the interface with gravity, and for radically new applications in laser science and quantum information. In this talk I will highlight the current promises, achievements and challenges in the field.
