Exploring Macroscopic Quantum Mechanics in Optomechanical Devices

Exploring Macroscopic Quantum Mechanics in Optomechanical Devices by Haixing Miao.

Recent state-of-the-art technologies in fabricating low-loss optical and mechanical components have significantly motivated the study of quantum-limited measurements with optomechanical devices. Such research is the main subject of this thesis. In the first part, the author considers various approac...
