Dark Optical Trapping of Resonant Transition-Metal Dichalcogenide Particles
Patrick Illetschek, Gleb Fedorovich, Albert Seredin +6
Mitigating recoil events and minimizing optically induced heating are central challenges in the precise control and cooling of macroscopic particles. To overcome this, we propose t…
Roadmap on Quantum Thermodynamics
Steve Campbell, Irene D'Amico, Mario A. Ciampini +66
The last two decades has seen quantum thermodynamics become a well established field of research in its own right. In that time, it has demonstrated a remarkably broad applicabilit…
Entropy production and non-Gaussianity of fast processes at weak damping
Mario A. Ciampini, Jakob Rieser, Nikolai Kiesel +1
We present a method of estimating the rate of entropy production in underdamped dynamics by decomposing it into contributions originating in different non-equilibrium effects. Spec…
Free expansion of a charged nanoparticle via electrostatic compensation
David Steiner, Yaakov Y. Fein, Gregor Meier +5
Coherent wavepacket expansion is a key component of recent proposals aiming to create non-classical states of a levitated dielectric nanoparticle. Free evolution, i.e., releasing t…
Feedback stabilization of a nanoparticle at the intensity minimum of an optical double-well potential
VojtÄch MlynáÅ, Salambô Dago, Jakob Rieser +5
In this work, we develop and analyze adaptive feedback control strategies to stabilize and confine a nanoparticle at the unstable intensity minimum of an optical double-well potent…
Stabilizing nanoparticles in the intensity minimum: feedback levitation on an inverted potential
Salambô Dago, Jakob Rieser, Mario A. Ciampini +5
We demonstrate the stable trapping of a levitated nanoparticle on top of an inverted potential using a combination of optical readout and electrostatic control. The feedback levita…
