I studied in Barcelona and then I studied in Munich in 2009

where I started the meditation work which is in the community, at least in this community.

That's how we joined the Austria 18th Movement.

Ok, the group production of the collection is presented by the organizers for the event

which was created and also was allowing me to speak. I'm actually learning about the group

and I regret that I will not be able to speak longer, but you are, so enjoy.

Ok, so today I will talk for the next three hours, I will talk about doing one-to-nano and micro-mechanics

with the 18th Movement.

And basically, after talking to Florian, I decided to arrange these lectures.

So the first one is going to be on doing cavity optomechanics with the electric nanospheres.

And as you will see, already the picture of the system is to have an optically trapped nanosphere

made of glass inside an optical cavity.

And this nanosphere is going to be quite tiny, of the order of tens of nanometers,

that you handle the system on. And already the picture will look very similar to packing a colatom

and putting it inside that cavity.

And this is this analogy, it's probably not only from the visual point of view,

but actually from the physics.

And I would like to take this opportunity to make a one-to-one correspondence,

because I also think that it brings a lot of intuition about the physics of the system.

As you will see, it's a bit different from what you are used to.

Maybe used to it, it's just a plant of the computer.

The second lecture is going to be more on how to try to analyze the decoherence that this system has.

And this is going to be something very important for one of the main motivations of these nanospheres,

which is to then, once you have pulled the center of mass to the ground state,

switch off the track, which is something that you can do because it is veridating,

and then let the center of mass expand and do some type of matter-wave experiment

where you can delocalize the center of mass, where the distance is much larger than the size of the object,

and maybe then you can get the superposition states and so on.

And in that it's very critical what are the social decoherence.

And I would like to take this opportunity to give you a feeling and also to get a really intuition about

what are the sources and how intense they are and how fragile these states are going to be,

and what you can use them to measure something really interesting,

because we are very sure that we can avoid the loss of something.

And actually that's what I wanted to do on the third lecture,

is to read photos from these more ambitious ideas to create these microscopic quantum speculations of these nanospheres.

And as you will see, I will focus also on not these glass nanospheres,

but also much bigger microspheres made of lead, which I will do my dedicated lecture on.

And that's very interesting because these spheres have a mass comparable to the mass of 10 to the 14 atomic units,

and we now are proposing some ideas on how to prepare these microscopic quantum superpositions,

and they have the perceived advantage that they can allow to test some of these fengenst collapse models,

and in particular this very difficult model to test, which is the superpredicational induced interference model proposed by Demos,

and on its simplest and weakest form.

And by falsifying that one basically you falsify all the other models which are particularly strong.

But that will be the end of the story, and hopefully you will get a bit of intuition on what you need to do if you want to get into that.

Okay, so let's start then with lecture 1. So the set is going to be on the already dated quantum mechanics.

I am putting emphasis to compare spheres versus reality.

So before starting let me give a bit of introduction and motivation to this possibility to navigate this thermo-mechanical oscillator.

So as you will see there are, I tried to make a scheme of the typical several nice properties that they have,

but it might have some applications for it.
