SUMMARY:Quantum Optomechanics Tutorial
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:PROFESSOR BRAD HAUER\, INSTITUTE FOR QUANTUM COMPUTING\n\nQNC b
 uilding\, 200 University Ave. Room 0101\, Waterloo \n\nJoin new IQC facul
 ty member Professor Brad Hauer for a tutorial on\nquantum optomechanics an
 d a preview of new research directions at IQC.\nThis tutorial is designed 
 for the USEQIP program to be accessible to\nadvanced undergraduates\, and 
 all IQC members are welcome (no\nregistration required).\n\nCavity optomec
 hanics\, which studies the interplay between confined\nelectromagnetic fie
 lds and mechanical motion\, has seen a flurry of\nactivity over the past t
 wo decades. In particular\, optomechanical\ndevices have had great success
  in preparing\, manipulating\, and\nobserving quantum states of motion in 
 nanoscale mechanical resonators.\nWith applications in quantum information
  and quantum sensing on the\nhorizon\, cavity optomechanical devices remai
 n an exciting prospect for\nreal-world quantum technologies\, as well as p
 robes of important\nphysical quantities on both microscopic and cosmologic
 al scales.\n\nIn my tutorial\, I will provide a brief overview of cavity\n
 optomechanics\, describing both the theoretical fundamentals and\nphysical
  implementations. Following this introduction\, I will detail a\nnumber of
  recent experiments realizing quantum effects in mesoscale\nmechanical res
 onators\, including ground state cooling and entanglement\nof their motion
 . I will also discuss how cavity optomechanics is being\nused to further o
 ur understanding of the universe through\nnext-generation dark matter and 
 gravity wave detectors. Finally\, I\nwill briefly discuss my own research 
 studying newly developed mm-wave\noptomechanical circuits and how I plan t
 o use these devices to\ncontinue advancing the field.
