The field of cavity quantum optomechanics is arguably today – 10 years after the first reports on optomechanical coupling – a remarkably active research field. It has transcended into a wide variety of research areas, and includes more than 200 papers per year. Beyond offering manipulation and control over mechanical degrees, quantum optomechanics has brought new advances. Indeed in the last year a variety of new developments have fueled the field; these advances are brought forward by the realization that mechanical systems are ideal transducers of electrical, magnetic, microwave signals to the optical or microwave domain, that can work both for classical signals as well as quantum signals.
