Deviations from Boltzmann-Gibbs equilibrium in confined optical lattices
Andreas Dechant, David A. Kessler, Eli Barkai
Cold atoms in dissipative optical lattices have long been known to exhibit anomalous kinetics due to an effective nonlinear friction force. Here we show that confining the spatial…

An all-optical nanomechanical heat engine
Andreas Dechant, Nikolai Kiesel, Eric Lutz
We propose and theoretically investigate a nanomechanical heat engine. We show how a levitated nanoparticle in a harmonic optical trap inside an optical cavity can be used to reali…
