Testing quantum physics in space using high-mass matter-wave interferometry
Rainer Kaltenbaek
Quantum superposition is central to quantum theory but challenges our concepts of reality and spacetime when applied to macroscopic objects like Schrödinger's cat. For that reason,…
Performance of a radiatively cooled system for quantum optomechanical experiments in space
André Pilan-Zanoni, Johannes Burkhardt, Ulrich Johann +3
The performance of a radiatively cooled instrument is investigated in the context of optomechanical quantum experiments, where the environment of a macroscopic particle in a quantu…
Macroscopic quantum resonators (MAQRO): 2015 Update
Rainer Kaltenbaek, Markus Arndt, Markus Aspelmeyer +49
Do the laws of quantum physics still hold for macroscopic objects - this is at the heart of Schrödinger's cat paradox - or do gravitation or yet unknown effects set a limit for mas…
Optomechanical Schrödinger Cats - a Case for Space
Rainer Kaltenbaek, Markus Aspelmeyer
Quantum optomechanics exploits radiation pressure effects inside optical cavities. It can be used to generate quantum states of the center-of-mass motion of massive mechanical obje…
