Electron Plasmas Cooled by Cyclotron-Cavity Resonance
A. P. Povilus, N. D. DeTal, L. T. Evans +10
We observe that high-Q electromagnetic cavity resonances increase the cyclotron cooling rate of pure electron plasmas held in a Penning-Malmberg trap when the electron cyclotron fr…
Decoherence of rotational degrees of freedom
Changchun Zhong, F. Robicheaux
The mechanism of decoherence for a quantum system with rotational degrees of freedom is studied. From a simple model of elastic scattering, we show that the non-diagonal density ma…
Torsional optomechanics of a levitated nonspherical nanoparticle
Thai M. Hoang, Yue Ma, Jonghoon Ahn +4
An optically levitated nanoparticle in vacuum is a paradigm optomechanical system for sensing and studying macroscopic quantum mechanics. While its center-of-mass motion has been i…
Closed-orbit theory for photodetachment in a time-dependent electric field
B. C. Yang, F. Robicheaux
The standard closed-orbit theory is extended for the photodetachment of negative ions in a time-dependent electric field. The time-dependent photodetachment rate is specifically st…
