Optomechanical forces in circuits

This lecture explores the translation of optomechanical forces to circuits, discussing the implementation of cavity optomechanical systems in microwave circuits and the theoretical framework shared with cavity electromechanical systems. It delves into the canonical cavity optomechanical system, the circuit world of cavity optomechanics, optomechanical coupling in an LC oscillator, the zoo of cavity electromechanical systems, coupling & radiation pressure force, electrostatic actuation, and capacitive softening. The concepts covered highlight the circuit analogy of cavity optomechanical systems, emphasizing their potential for large single photon coupling and photon hosting capabilities, albeit requiring cryogenic temperatures for operation.
