\u201cQuantum measurement and control in optomechanical systems<\/strong>\u201c<\/p>\n Prof. Gerard J. Milburn<\/strong><\/p>\n The Univerity of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n Director of\u00a0 the \u201cCentre of Excellence in Engineered Quantum Systems\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n The emerging field of quantum optomechanics combines quantum optics and new fabrication techniques to control the quantum state of macroscopic mechanical resonators. This now provides a new approach for controlling the mutual interaction between light and mesoscopic structures, which is one of the eminent goals in quantum information science and of importance for fundamental experiments at the quantum-classical boundary. I will give an overview of this new field and discuss some specific models. These include a scheme to conditionally prepare a macroscopic mechanical resonator in an energy eigenstate by measurement, single photon optomechanics, and quantum entanglement in optomechanical networks.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n Date and time<\/strong>: 09 to 11\/05\/2011 at 14:00 and colloquium in 12\/05\/2011 at 16:00.<\/strong><\/p>\n Place<\/strong>: Sala de Semin\u00e1rios do DFMC\/IFGW\/UNICAMP e audit\u00f3rio do IFGW<\/strong><\/p>\n Lecture slides:\u00a0campinas-2011<\/a><\/p>\n REFERENCES:<\/p>\n [1] Quantum Optics, D.F.
