| Abstract: | We briefly review some of our recent and ongoing work on nanoscale optomechanics, an emerging area at the confluence of atomic,
condensed matter and gravitational wave physics. A central tenet of optomechanics is the laser cooling of a moving mirror,
typically an end mirror of a Fabry-Perot resonator, to a point near its quantum-mechanical ground state of vibration. Following
a general introduction we discuss how the motion of such a macroscopic quantum oscillator can be squeezed, and then show how
the placement of a ferroelectric tip on the oscillator allows the coherent manipulation and control of the center-of-mass
motion of ultracold polar molecules. |
