Abstract

Full coherent quantum control over optomechanical systems is one of the main outstanding goals in the young research field of cavity opto-mechanics. While the progress towards low-entropy states was tremendous in recent years (including the cooling experiments presented in Chap. 5), the second necessary condition for most quantum
