Observation of strong radiation pressure forces from squeezed light on a mechanical oscillator

Non-classical states of light, such as squeezed states, are used in quantum metrology to improve the sensitivity of mechanical motion sensing, but conversely mechanical oscillations can enhance the measurement of squeezed light.
