Summary

The development of a coupled, nanoscale optical and mechanical resonator formed in a silicon microchip, in which radiation pressure from a laser is used to cool the mechanical motion down to its quantum ground state, paving the way for optical control of mesoscale mechanical oscillators in the quantum regime.
