• Abstract: We have investigated the phonon dynamics of a single-molecule embedded in a mechanical resonator made of an organic crystal. The whole system is placed in an optical resonator within the bad cavity limit. We have found that the optical control of the molecular population affects the phonon dynamics. Long-lived phonons are obtained when slowing-down the decay dynamics of the molecule via modulation of the transition frequency. The discussed results are also valid for optomechanical setups based on other types of two-level emitters and mechanical resonators.

  Mechanical excitations in superfluid thin films interact with the optical mode of an optical microresonator by modulation of its effective refractive index. We realize a phononic crystal cavity confining third sound modes in a superfluid helium film to length scales close to the third sound wavelength.

  We study the melting of charge-density waves in a Holstein model after a sudden switch-on of the electronic hopping. A comparison with exact data obtained for a Holstein chain shows that a semiclassical treatment of both the electrons and phonons is required in order to correctly describe the phononic dynamics.

  We develop here the semiclassical theory of molecular-vibration-polariton dynamics based on the truncated Wigner approximation (TWA) The validity of TWA is examined by comparing it with the fully quantum dynamics of a single-molecule system. The collective and resonance effects of molecular-vibration-polariton formation on the nuclear dynamics are observed in a system of many molecules.

• Room-temperature quantum optomechanics using an ultra-low noise cavity [0.0]
  We demonstrate optomechanical squeezing at room temperature in a phononic-engineered membrane-in-the-middle system. By using a high finesse cavity whose mirrors are patterned with phononic crystal structures, we reduce cavity frequency noise by more than 700-fold. These advances enable operation within a factor of 2.5 of the Heisenberg limit, leading to squeezing of the probing field by 1.09 dB below the vacuum fluctuations.

  We have investigated photon-assisted Landau-Zener transitions and qubit manipulation in a quantum electrodynamics device. Results show that low phonon frequencies can alter the qubit dynamics, particularly in the absence of the driving fields. This study unveils the imperative roles that photons and phonons play in the Rabi dimer model.
