Advanced School on Foundations and Applications of Nanomechanics | (smr 3147)
This school introduces the science of nanomechanical systems, a flourishing field of research. Nanomechanical systems are of interest both for their potential in terms of fundamental quantum physics as well as for applications in sensitive measurements, quantum information, and other areas. This Advanced School will recapitulate the foundations of nanomechanical systems and introduce the key concepts behind nano- and optomechanical technologies. The breadth of the field will be covered in six series of lectures delivered by internationally renowned experts. The pedagogical part of the school will be complemented by a series of about 20 invited presentations of state-of-the-art research. A crucial part of the school, in addition to the lectures and talks, will be the active contribution of the participants, which will be encouraged and fostered by several means: During the first week of the school, designated timeslots for tutorial classes will enable students to practice their skills in analytical as well as numerical methods, and will include problem solving and presentation of scientific results. The participants will work in small teams on research-type mini-projects.
Lecturers:
Yaroslav M. Blanter, TU Delft
Mark Dykman, Michigan State University
Jack Harris, Yale University
Klemens Hammerer, Leibniz University Hannover
Oriol Romero-Isart, IQOQI Innsbruck

Foundations and Applications of Nanomechanics | (smr 3177)
The study of nanomechanical systems has evolved into a substantial and growing field of research. The interest in nanomechanical systems is fueled by their applicability to a wide range of problems: In addition to the ability to use these solid-state systems to investigate fundamental quantum physics and to target the frontiers of quantum mechanics, these systems also have applications in classical and quantum information technology and as ultrasensitive detectors of mass, displacement, acceleration, force or spin. As a result, research directions such as cavity optomechanics and nanoelectromechanics today attract a significant number of researchers from around the world. By their nature, nanomechanical systems are interdisciplinary, since they can couple to electrical circuits or optical cavities, and have potential applications in nano- and optomechanical technologies.
This workshop will highlight recent experimental and theoretical breakthroughs at the forefront of international research, and bring together international experts from the various fields of nanomechancs.
Research Talks on:
• Optomechanics;
• Nanoelectromechanics;
• Nanomechanical arrays;
• Sensing;
• Photonic crystals for optomechanics;
• Diamond nanomechanics;
• Nanotubes and graphene for nanomechanics; • surface-acoustic waves;
• Coupling to superconducting circuits;
• Microwave-to-optics conversion;
• Quantum effects;
• Foundational questions;
• Entanglement;
• and others
