Simultaneous ground-state cooling of two mechanical modes of a levitated nanoparticle
Johannes Piotrowski, Dominik Windey, Jayadev Vijayan +7
The quantum ground state of a massive mechanical system is a steppingstone for investigating macroscopic quantum states and building high fidelity sensors. With the recent achievem…
Scalable all-optical cold damping of levitated nanoparticles
Jayadev Vijayan, Zhao Zhang, Johannes Piotrowski +4
The field of levitodynamics has made significant progress towards controlling and studying the motion of a levitated nanoparticle. Motional control relies on either autonomous feed…
Optically levitated rotor at its thermal limit of frequency stability
Fons van der Laan, René Reimann, Andrei Militaru +4
Optically levitated rotors are prime candidates for torque sensors whose precision is limited by the fluctuationsof the rotation frequency. In this work we investigate an optically…
Motional Sideband Asymmetry of a Nanoparticle Optically Levitated in Free Space
Felix Tebbenjohanns, Martin Frimmer, Vijay Jain +2
The hallmark of quantum physics is Planck's constant , whose finite value entails the quantization that gave the theory its name. The finite value of gives rise to inevitabl…
Theory for Cavity Cooling of Levitated Nanoparticles via Coherent Scattering: Master Equation Approach
C. Gonzalez-Ballestero, P. Maurer, D. Windey +3
We develop a theory for cavity cooling of the center-of-mass motion of a levitated nanoparticle through coherent scattering into an optical cavity. We analytically determine the fu…
Cavity-Based 3D Cooling of a Levitated Nanoparticle via Coherent Scattering
Dominik Windey, Carlos Gonzalez-Ballestero, Patrick Maurer +3
We experimentally realize cavity cooling of all three translational degrees of motion of a levitated nanoparticle in vacuum. The particle is trapped by a cavity-independent optical…
GHz Rotation of an Optically Trapped Nanoparticle in Vacuum
René Reimann, Michael Doderer, Erik Hebestreit +5
We report on rotating an optically trapped silica nanoparticle in vacuum by transferring spin angular momentum of light to the particle's mechanical angular momentum. At sufficient…
