Tunneling assisted interference in double-well levitodynamics

Yue Ma, Endre Bokor, M. S. Kim

Levitated particles trapped in double-well potentials provide a promising platform for exploring quantum dynamics beyond the harmonic regime. We show that such systems exhibit a di…

Unifying Sørensen-Mølmer gate and Milburn gate with an optomechanical example

Yue Ma, Manuel C. C. Pace, M. S. Kim

Sørensen-Mølmer gate and Milburn gate are two geometric phase gates, generating nonlinear self-interaction of a target mode via its interaction with an auxiliary mechanical mode, i…

Torque-free manipulation of nanoparticle rotations via embedded spins

Yue Ma, M. S. Kim, Benjamin A. Stickler

Spin angular momentum and mechanical rotation both contribute to the total angular momentum of rigid bodies, leading to spin-rotational coupling via the Einstein-de Haas and Barnet…

Quantum persistent tennis racket dynamics of nanorotors

Yue Ma, Kiran E. Khosla, Benjamin A. Stickler +1

Classical rotations of asymmetric rigid bodies are unstable around the axis of intermediate momentof inertia, causing a flipping of rotor orientation. This effect, known as the ten…
