Quantum optomechanics is a fast-developing field which has gained increased attention in recent years due to the direct access to the motional quantum ground state of macroscopic systems and the ability to obtain ultra-long-lived phononic modes with applications in quantum information processing such as enabling quantum storage and quantum transduction between hybrid systems. Ultra-coherent mechanical oscillator with extreme quality factors (of nearly 10^9) have been developed in our lab and we are now currently establishing a setup for quantum coherent interaction between the modes of the oscillator and a cavity light field. The system is still operating the classical regime and the first job of the postdoc in collaboration with the PhD students is to bring the oscillator into a genuine quantum state by cooling it to the ground state and subsequently steering it into a squeezed state. Numerous quantum protocols with this system are envisioned, and we are confident that the system will provide us with the required competitive edge to reach our goals and deliver high-impact scientific results.
