High sensitivity, levitated microsphere apparatus for short-distance force measurements
Akio Kawasaki, Alexander Fieguth, Nadav Priel +3
A high sensitivity force sensor based on dielectric microspheres in vacuum, optically trapped by a single, upward-propagating laser beam, is described. Off-axis parabolic mirrors a…
Searching for a solar relaxion/scalar with XENON1T and LUX
Ranny Budnik, Oz Davidi, Hyungjin Kim +2
We consider liquid xenon dark matter detectors for searching a light scalar particle produced in the solar core, specifically one that couples to electrons. Through its interaction…
Wide band spectroscopic response of monocrystallines to low dose neutron and gamma radiation
Yossi Mosbacher, Micha Weiss, Hagar Landsman +7
We identify a number of crystalline structures with promising characteristics to serve as a detection medium for a novel Dark Matter (DM) detector with a low threshold energy. A de…
Search for non-Newtonian interactions at micrometer scale with a levitated test mass
Charles P. Blakemore, Alexander Fieguth, Akio Kawasaki +5
We report on a search for non-Newtonian forces that couple to mass, with a characteristic scale of m, using an optically levitated microsphere as a precision force sen…
Optomechanical vector sensing of new forces at 6 micron separation
Gautam Venugopalan, Clarke A. Hardy, Kenneth Kohn +10
The search for new gravity-like interactions at the sub-millimeter scale is a compelling area of research, with important implications for the understanding of classical gravity an…
Scalable architecture for trapped-ion quantum computing using RF traps and dynamic optical potentials
David Schwerdt, Lee Peleg, Yotam Shapira +9
Qubits based on ions trapped in linear radio-frequency traps form a successful platform for quantum computing, due to their high fidelity of operations, all-to-all connectivity and…
