A computational tool to characterize particle tracking measurements in optical tweezers

Michael A. Taylor, Warwick P. Bowen

Here we present a computational tool for optical tweezers which calculates the particle tracking signal measured with a quadrant detector and the shot-noise limit to position resol…

Enhanced optical trapping via structured scattering

Michael A Taylor, Muhammad Waleed, Alexander B Stilgoe +2

Interferometry can completely redirect light, providing the potential for strong and controllable optical forces. However, small particles do not naturally act like interferometric…

Quantum Enhanced Microrheology of a Living Cell

Michael A. Taylor, Jiri Janousek, Vincent Daria +4

We demonstrate the first biological measurement with precision surpassing the quantum noise limit. Lipid particles within a living yeast cell are tracked with sub-shot noise sensit…

Ultrafast viscosity measurement with ballistic optical tweezers

Lars S. Madsen, Muhammad Waleed, Catxere A. Casacio +3

Viscosity is an important property of out-of-equilibrium systems such as active biological materials and driven non-Newtonian fluids, and for fields ranging from biomaterials to ge…

Quantum correlations overcome the photodamage limits of light microscopy

Catxere A. Casacio, Lars S. Madsen, Alex Terrasson +5

State-of-the-art microscopes use intense lasers that can severely disturb biological processes, function and viability. This introduces hard limits on performance that only quantum…

Evanescent single-molecule biosensing with quantum limited precision

N. P. Mauranyapin, L. S. Madsen, M. A. Taylor +2

Sensors that are able to detect and track single unlabelled biomolecules are an important tool both to understand biomolecular dynamics and interactions at nanoscale, and for medic…
