Abstract
We provide an introduction to the description of mechanical systems in the quantum regime, and provide a review of the various types of micro-scale and nano-scale optomechanical and electromechanical systems. The aim is to achieve quantum control of micromechanical and nanomechanical resonators using the electromagnetic field. Such control requires the demonstration of state preparation (in particular, cooling to the ground state), coherent control and quantum-limited measurement. These problems are discussed in turn. Some particular problems in force detection, metrology, nonlinear optomechanics and many-body optomechanics are also discussed.
期刊介绍：
acta physica slovaca is an internationally recognised physics journal originally established in 1950. Since 1998 listed in Current Contents. Since 2006, acta physica slovaca publishes review and tutorial articles. Papers written by specialists in a given field are intended to be accessible also to non-specialists and PhD students. Although the printed version of the journal is available, all issues are free to download from the journal''s web page. We hope that the new issues of acta physica slovaca will be useful and interesting for readers.
