Quantum Opto-Mechanics with Micromirrors Combining Nano-Mechanics with Quantum Optics

Quantum effects in macroscopic systems have long been a fascination for researchers. Over the past decade mechanical oscillators have emerged as a leading system of choice for many such experiments. The work reported in this thesis investigates the effects of the radiation-pressure force of light on...
