Description
Increasing coupling between a detector and the mechanical system increases the sensitivity of the detection, but it also increases the back-action of the detector on the measured systems, perturbing the measurement. At the same time, strong coupling can lead to new and unexpected effects and phenomena. In this lecture I will discuss the current blockade that can be generated in different regimes by a sufficiently strong coupling between electron transport and nano-mechanical motion. A review of the theories and experimental results will be presented.
