Quantum dynamics of non-linear optomechanical systems

This thesis explores the dynamics of optomechanical systems, which use radiation pressure to couple together optical and mechanical modes. Such systems display dynamics ranging from the quantum to the classical, with a variety of applications including ground state cooling and precision measurements...
