Quantum optomechanics extends the idea that light forces can achieve the quantum control of mechanical motion to mesoscopic and macroscopic systems. Following a semiclassical introduction to cold damping and the optical spring effect, we show how sideband cooling can bring those systems to their quantum mechanical ground state. We then discuss ways to prepare, manipulate, and characterize other quantum states of mechanical oscillators. This is followed by an analysis of the standard quantum limit of optomechanical interferometers that clarifies the roles of shot noise and radiation pressure noise. We finally return to ultracold atoms to show how their collective density excitations can likewise behave as optomechanical oscillators.
