AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a request for resources related to cavity optomechanics, a specialized field within optomechanics. The original poster, an undergraduate, seeks recommendations for textbooks, papers, or other materials to better understand this area. There is a clarification that the term "optomechanics" is being used in the context of cavity optomechanics rather than general lens and mirror positioning. The focus is on finding educational resources to build foundational knowledge in this specific field.

Hi,

I'm an undergrad looking to do some work in a lab specializing in optomechanics. I don't know a whole lot about the subject though. Could the nice folks at PF suggests some texts/textbooks/papers etc. that can help me become acquainted with optomechanics?

Much thanks.

"optomechanics", to me, refers to lens/mirror mounting and positioning- is this what you mean?
 


No, I mean cavity optomechanics -- sorry for not clarifying.
 

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
