SUMMARY:Quantum control of an optomechanical system with a single photon -

DESCRIPTION:Co-authors: S Basiri-Esfahani (The University of Queensland)\,
  C Myers (The University of Queensland)\, J Combes (The University of Quee
 nsland) \n\nProgress in the technology of optomechanical systems is reachi
 ng the point where the mechanical action of a single photon can be signifi
 cant. In this talk I will describe how single photon states can be used to
  control the quantum state of a mechanical resonator coupled via radiation
  pressure to the light in a cavity. The photons can be used as a quantum p
 robe of the mechanical state . This enables the engineering of non classic
 al states of the mechanical oscillator with applications to metrology and 
 experiments to look for gravitational decoherence.\n
