Cavity optomechanics with nm-thick membranes

<p>This thesis focuses on fast and sensitive readout of mechanical motion to answer questions in the foundations of physics. By coupling a silicon nitride membrane to different readout cavities I have explored the thermodynamic costs of time keeping and carried out a bench-top experiment to pu...
