Detta är en digital seminarieserie i kondenserade materiens fysik och atomfysik, med syfte att koppla samman forskare från olika nordiska universitet. Samtalen är informella och ska inspirera till diskussioner och interaktioner.

Optomechanical systems, where light or a probe field interacts with a small mechanical element are among the largest and heaviest quantum systems that we can control in the laboratory to date. The large mass of optomechanical systems make them particularly interesting as detectors for sensing gravitational fields. In addition, the intrinsically nonlinear quantum dynamics of these systems offer interesting sensing advantages in terms of a favourable Heisenberg scaling. In my talk, I will outline the research direction of deriving the fundamental sensing limits of these systems and consider some applications, including to searches of modified gravity theories.
