Quantum optomechanics of a two-dimensional atomic array

Abstract
Two mutually exclusive characteristics of traditional optomechanical systems based on bulk mirrors or membranes are combined: The ability to strongly scatter light and the one to attain very large mechanical susceptibility. The proposed platform, a two-dimensional atomic array, exhibits rich multimode phenomena and the reported results suggest that the regime of few-photon quantum optomechanics is closer to reach.
