The goal of this theoretical subproject is to analyze existing and new setups of nanomechanical and optomechanical systems and to propose and investigate ways to generate and measure new quantum states. The mechanical systems considered include cantilevers, membranes, and also non-traditional types of oscillators like collective density excitations of a Bose-Einstein condensate coupled to a cavity field.
