<b>"Nanoelectromechanics: from quantum computing to motional state
engineering"<br><br>
</b></div>
The development of micro-fabrication technology enables the construction
of submicron structures with exotic quantum mechanical properties and
potential applications. Recent experiments include displacement sensing
of a GHz nanoresonator approaching the<br>
quantum limit and the observation of the thermal vibration of a single
wall Carbon nanotube. Here, we present an application of the
superconducting charge qubit in manipulating and engineering the phonon
modes of the nanomechanical system --- ground state<br>
cooling of a nanomechanical resonator with the charge qubit.<br><br>
