Aromatic molecular emitters in a hexagonal boron nitride stack
Tianyu Fang, Ricardo Gioia Alvarez, Babak Behjati +8
Single polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules embedded in organic matrices have proven to be an excellent family of narrow-linewidth quantum emitters. Extending this host-guest…
Robust Chiral Optical Force via Electric Dipole Interactions, Inspired by a Sea Creature
Robert P. Cameron, Duncan McArthur, Alison M. Yao +2
Inspired by a sea creature, we identify a robust chiral optical force that can be several orders of magnitude stronger than others proposed to date, pushing the opposite enantiomer…
A Comprehensive Study on A Tapered Paul Trap: From Design to Potential Applications
Bo Deng, Moritz Göb, Max Masuhr +4
We present a tapered Paul trap whose radio frequency electrodes are inclined to the symmetric axis of the endcap electrodes, resulting in a funnel-shaped trapping potential. With t…
Amplifying a zeptonewton force with a single-ion nonlinear oscillator
Bo Deng, Moritz Göb, Benjamin A. Stickler +3
Nonlinear mechanical resonators display rich and complex dynamics and are important in many areas of fundamental and applied sciences. In this letter, we show that a particle confi…
Optical imaging and tracking of single molecules in ultrahigh vacuum
Tianyu Fang, Florian Elsen, Nick Vogeley +1
Molecule-surface interaction is key to many physical and chemical processes at interfaces. Here, we show that the dynamics of single molecules on a surface under ultrahigh vacuum c…
Single-molecule vacuum Rabi splitting: four-wave mixing and optical switching at the single-photon level
André Pscherer, Manuel Meierhofer, Daqing Wang +5
A single quantum emitter can possess a very strong intrinsic nonlinearity, but its overall promise for nonlinear effects is hampered by the challenge of efficient coupling to incid…
Enantiomer superpositions from matter-wave interference of chiral molecules
Benjamin A. Stickler, Mira Diekmann, Robert Berger +1
Molecular matter-wave interferometry enables novel strategies for manipulating the internal mechanical motion of complex molecules. Here, we show how chiral molecules can be prepar…
Single-atom heat engine as a sensitive thermal probe
Amikam Levy, Moritz Göb, Bo Deng +3
We propose employing a quantum heat engine as a sensitive probe for thermal baths. In particular, we study a single-atom Otto engine operating in an open thermodynamic cycle. Owing…
Turning a molecule into a coherent two-level quantum system
Daqing Wang, Hrishikesh Kelkar, Diego Martin-Cano +5
Molecules are ubiquitous in natural phenomena and man-made products, but their use in quantum optical applications has been hampered by incoherent internal vibrations and other pho…
Coherent coupling of a single molecule to a scanning Fabry-Perot microcavity
Daqing Wang, Hrishikesh Kelkar, Diego Martin-Cano +3
Organic dye molecules have been used in great many scientific and technological applications, but their wider use in quantum optics has been hampered by transitions to short-lived…
A Sub--Volume Cantilever-based Fabry-Pérot Cavity
Hrishikesh Kelkar, Daqing Wang, Diego Martín-Cano +4
We report on the realization of an open plane-concave Fabry-Pérot resonator with a mode volume below at optical frequencies. We discuss some of the less common features of th…
