Theoretical framework for thin film superfluid optomechanics: towards the quantum regime

Excitations in superfluid helium represent attractive mechanical degrees of freedom for cavity optomechanics schemes. Here we numerically and analytically investigate the properties of optomechanical resonators formed by thin films of superfluid ^4 He covering micrometer-scale whispering gallery mod...
