Recent progress in nano- and micromechanics and the emergence of
circuit quantum electrodynamics have brought forward the need to
understand mesoscopic vibrational systems. Because these systems are
small, fluctuations and nonlinearity play a significant role in their
dynamics. We will discuss some consequences of the interplay of the
fluctuations and nonlinearity. Mesoscopic oscillators make it possible also
to study physics far from thermal equilibrium in the well-characterized
setting. Of particular interest in this respect is Floquet dynamics, including
the “time-crystal” effect in coupled nonlinear oscillators.
