"Exploiting Mechanical Properties of Light: Photon-Supported Micromechanical Resonators, Quantum Vibrations, and Applications"

我的研究计划的中心目标是开发由光子控制的新型灵敏微机电系统（MEMS）。我特别感兴趣的是实现主要由光学力支持的MEMS，从而用光来取代传统的机械材料。这种装置应能克服目前MEMS材料的限制，并达到前所未有的机械一致性水平（例如，在500 kHz下敲击时能持续数周）。因此，它们应该能够实现亚泽普顿力的灵敏度，检测单个质子的质量，并表现出相干量子运动。

The central goal of my research program is to develop new types of sensitive micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) controlled by photons. I am particularly interested in realizing MEMS supported primarily by optical forces, thereby replacing traditional mechanical materials with light. Such devices should overcome the limitations of current MEMS materials and achieve an unprecedented level of mechanical coherence (e.g. ringing at 500 kHz for weeks when struck). As a result, they should be capable of achieving sub-zeptonewton force sensitivity, detecting the mass of a single proton, and exhibiting coherent quantum motion.
