Conditional Mechanical Squeezing of a Micromechanical Oscillator Approaching the Quantum Regime

Optomechanics is a rapidly developing field studying systems with optical and mechanical resonators coupled via radiation pressure. This coupling plays a key role in precision displacement and momentum sensing like in gravitational wave detection and atomic force microscopy. Recently the field has e...
