Abstract
We explore various aspects of hybrid optomechanics. A hybrid optomechanical model involving a cavity, atom, and moving mirror is introduced as the intersection between cavity quantum electrodynamics and cavity optomechanics. We describe how numerical simulations of such systems are performed and demonstrate a method that can reduce the computational scope of certain simulations. A method for calculating time-dependent spectra is also explained. Finally, we explain how the dynamical Casimir effect can be achieved using an optical cavity with and without an atom and look at notable behavior of this system.
