After a quick review of the basic theory of quantum optomechanical systems, based largely on linearized Heisenberg–Langevin equations, this chapter focuses on selected topics related to quantum measurement and quantum optomechanics. Included are: a comprehensive discussion of the quantum limit on the added noise of a continuous position detector, following the quantum linear response approach; a detailed discussion of the role of noise correlations, and how these can be achieved in an optomechanical cavity (by using squeezed input light, or by modifying the choice of measured output quadrature); and a discussion of back-action evading measurements of a mechanical quadrature, discussing how this can be achieved in a two-tone driven cavity system. The chapter ends with a quick introduction to the theory of conditional continuous quantum measurement, and a discussion on how a back-action evading measurement can be used to produce conditional mechanical squeezed states.

Heisenberg’s back action and Robertson’s intrinsic uncertainty are presented. von Neumann’s analysis of quantum measurement is recounted. Advanced LIGO is used as an example of quantum measurement: giant Michelson interferometers achieve sensitivity to motion of 1 part in 1021. The discovery at LIGO of gravitational waves is outlined. Then the standard quantum limit is deduced. The use of cavities in the interferometer arms to increase the photon flux is described. The potential for improvement by squeezing the vacuum at the blank input port is discussed. Prospects for speed interferometry are outlined.

The tilted beam illumination method is used to improve the resolution comparing with the axial illumination mode. Using this advantage, a restoration method of several tilted beam images covering the full azimuthal range was proposed by Saxton, and experimentally examined. To make this technique more reliable it seems that some practical problems still remain. In this report the restoration was attempted and the problems were considered. In our study, four problems were pointed out for the experiment of the restoration. (1) Accurate beam tilt adjustment to fit the incident beam to the coma-free axis for the symmetrical beam tilting over the full azimuthal range. (2) Accurate measurements of the optical parameters which are necessary to design the restoration filter. Even if the spherical aberration coefficient Cs is known with accuracy and the axial astigmatism is sufficiently compensated, at least the defocus value must be measured. (3) Accurate alignment of the tilt-azimuth series images.
