Quantum ground-state cooling of two librational modes of a nanorotor
Stephan Troyer, Florian Fechtel, Lorenz Hummer +4
Controlling the motion of nanoscale objects at the quantum limit promises new tests of quantum mechanics and advanced sensors. Rotational motion is of particular interest, as it fo…
Single-, double-, and triple-slit diffraction of molecular matter-waves
Christian Brand, Stephan Troyer, Christian Knobloch +2
Even 100 years after its introduction by Louis de Broglie, the wave-nature of matter is often regarded as a mind-boggling phenomenon. To give an intuitive introduction to this fiel…
Bragg diffraction of large organic molecules
Christian Brand, Filip Kiałka, Stephan Troyer +5
We demonstrate Bragg diffraction of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin and the dye molecule phthalocyanine at a thick optical grating. The observed patterns show a single dominant diffra…
A fiber-based beam profiler for high-power laser beams in confined spaces and ultra-high vacuum
Christian Brand, Ksenija Simonović, Filip Kiałka +3
Laser beam profilometry is an important scientific task with well-established solutions for beams propagating in air. It has, however, remained an open challenge to measure beam pr…
