A Spin-Based Pathway to Testing the Quantum Nature of Gravity

Sougato Bose, Anupam Mazumdar, Roger Penrose +52

A key open problem in physics is the correct way to combine gravity (described by general relativity) with everything else (described by quantum mechanics). This problem suggests t…

Dark Matter Searches with Levitated Sensors

Eva Kilian, Markus Rademacher, Jonathan M. H. Gosling +8

Motivated by the current interest in employing quantum sensors on Earth and in space to conduct searches for new physics, we provide a perspective on the suitability of large-mass…

Levitodynamic spectroscopy for single nanoparticle characterisation

Jonathan M. H. Gosling, Markus Rademacher, Jence T. Mulder +5

Fast detection and characterization of single nanoparticles such as viruses, airborne aerosols and colloidal particles are considered to be particularly important for medical appli…

Massive quantum systems as interfaces of quantum mechanics and gravity

Sougato Bose, Ivette Fuentes, Andrew A. Geraci +7

The traditional view from particle physics is that quantum gravity effects should only become detectable at extremely high energies and small length scales. Due to the significant…

Measurement of single nanoparticle anisotropy by laser induced optical alignment and Rayleigh scattering for determining particle morphology

Markus Rademacher, Jonathan Gosling, Antonio Pontin +4

We demonstrate the measurement of nanoparticle shape by angularly resolved Rayleigh scattering of single optical levitated particles that are oriented in space via the trapping lig…

Quantum Physics in Space

Alessio Belenchia, Matteo Carlesso, Ömer Bayraktar +17

Advances in quantum technologies are giving rise to a revolution in the way fundamental physics questions are explored at the empirical level. At the same time, they are the seeds…

Nonequilibrium control of thermal and mechanical changes in a levitated system

Markus Rademacher, Michael Konopik, Maxime Debiossac +3

Fluctuation theorems are fundamental extensions of the second law of thermodynamics for small nonequilibrium systems. While work and heat are equally important forms of energy exch…

Quantum sensing with nanoparticles for gravimetry; when bigger is better

Markus Rademacher, James Millen, Ying Lia Li

Following the first demonstration of a levitated nanosphere cooled to the quantum ground state in 2020 [1], macroscopic quantum sensors are seemingly on the horizon. The nanosphere…

Direct measurement of short-range forces with a levitated nanoparticle

George Winstone, Markus Rademacher, Robert Bennett +2

Short-range forces have important real-world relevance across a range of settings in the nano world, from colloids and possibly for protein folding to nano-mechanical devices, but…
