Beyond the Linear Regime: Non-Linear and Hybrid Systems

The Gordon Research Seminar on Mechanical Systems in the Quantum Regime is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The focus of this meeting is to provide an introduction to the various concepts and experiments involved in describing and manipulating the behavior of quantized mechanical systems. Several topics will be covered, including the role of mechanical systems in testing ideas of quantum measurement theory and uses in quantum information processing, development of multimode optomechanical systems, and hybrid mechanical devices in the quantum regime.
