Abstract: 
The quantum state of light changes its nature when being reflected off a mechanical oscillator due to the latter's susceptibility to radiation pressure. As a result, a coherent state can transform into a squeezed state and can get entangled with the motion of the oscillator. Full information of the state of light can only be gathered by a tomographic measurement. Here we demonstrate a tomographic interferometer readout by measuring arbitrary quadratures of the light field exiting a Michelson-Sagnac interferometer that contains a thermally excited high-quality silicon nitride membrane. A readout noise of 1.9 x 10(-16) mHz(-1/2) around the membrane's fundamental oscillation mode at 133 kHz has been achieved, going below the peak value of the standard quantum limit by a factor of 8.2 (9 dB). The readout noise was entirely dominated by shot noise in a rather broad frequency range around the mechanical resonance.
