Diffracting molecular matter-waves at deep-ultraviolet standing-light waves
Ksenija Simonović, Richard Ferstl, Alfredo Di Silvestro +6
Matter-wave interferometry with molecules is intriguing both because it demonstrates a fundamental quantum phenomenon and because it opens avenues to quantum-enhanced measurements…
Probing molecular photophysics in a matter-wave interferometer
Lukas Martinetz, Benjamin A. Stickler, Ksenija Simonović +4
We show that matter-wave diffraction off a single standing laser wave can be used as an accurate measurement scheme for photophysical molecular parameters. These include state-depe…
Surface-induced decoherence and heating of charged particles
Lukas Martinetz, Klaus Hornberger, Benjamin A. Stickler
Levitating charged particles in ultra-high vacuum provides a preeminent platform for quantum information processing, for quantum-enhanced force and torque sensing, for probing phys…
Electric trapping and circuit cooling of charged nanorotors
Lukas Martinetz, Klaus Hornberger, Benjamin A. Stickler
The motion of charged particles can be interfaced with electric circuitry via the current induced in nearby pick-up electrodes. Here we show how the rotational and translational dy…
Quantum electromechanics with levitated nanoparticles
Lukas Martinetz, Klaus Hornberger, James Millen +2
Preparing and observing quantum states of nanoscale particles is a challenging task with great relevance for quantum technologies and tests of fundamental physics. In contrast to a…
Gas-induced friction and diffusion of rigid rotors
Lukas Martinetz, Klaus Hornberger, Benjamin A. Stickler
We derive the Boltzmann equation for the rotranslational dynamics of an arbitrary convex rigid body in a rarefied gas. It yields as a limiting case the Fokker-Planck equation accou…
Levitated electromechanics: all-electrical cooling of charged nano- and micro-particles
Daniel Goldwater, Benjamin A. Stickler, Lukas Martinetz +3
We show how charged levitated nano- and micro-particles can be cooled by interfacing them with an circuit. All-electrical levitation and cooling is applicable to a wide range…
Ro-Translational Cavity Cooling of Dielectric Rods and Disks
Benjamin A. Stickler, Stefan Nimmrichter, Lukas Martinetz +3
We study the interaction of dielectric rods and disks with the laser field of a high finesse cavity. The quantum master equation for the coupled particle-cavity dynamics, including…
