Optomechanics Motions of the quantum collectiveIan S. OsborneMicro- and nanomechanical oscillators can now be manipulated in the quantum regime. They can be entangled with other degrees of freedom and used for quantum teleportation and quantum storage. To date, these systems have been limited to single or pairs of oscillators. Chegnizadeh et al. now demonstrate scale-up, preparing a collective macroscopic system composed of several individual mechanical oscillators in the quantum ground state.
