Fiber-based scanning levitated nanoparticle force sensor near a metalized membrane
Andrew M. Dana, Samuel J. Borden, Nia Burrell +10
We describe a fiber-based dual-beam trap for dielectric nanospheres with the ability to transfer the trapped particles into a retro-reflective standing-wave trap within micron-rang…
Localized efficient in-vacuum loading of 0.1-10 m spherical and plate-like particles into optical traps using a pulled glass capillary
Alexey Grinin, Andrew Dana, Mark Nguyen +8
We demonstrate a compact piezoelectric-driven micropipette launcher for localized in-vacuum delivery of nano- and microparticles into optical traps. The launcher has been integrate…
Gravitational wave signal and noise response of an optically levitated sensor in a Fabry-Pérot cavity
Andrew Laeuger, Shafaq Gulzar Elahi, Shelby Klomp +8
Optically levitated sensors inside a Fabry-Pérot cavity have been proposed for high-frequency gravitational-wave (GW) detection, though their configuration for gravitational wave s…
Random acceleration noise on Stern-Gerlach Interferometry in a Harmonic Trap
Sneha Narasimha Moorthy, Andrew Geraci, Sougato Bose +1
We analyze decoherence in a one-loop Stern--Gerlach--type matter-wave interferometer for a massive nanoparticle embedded with a nitrogen vacancy (NV)-centered nanodiamond evolving…
Very-High-Frequency Gravitational Waves from Multi-Monodromy Inflation
Guido D'Amico, Andrew A. Geraci, Nemanja Kaloper +1
We show that in multi-stage axion monodromy inflation an interruption near the end of the penultimate stage can lead to a spike in the gravitational wave background. These gravitat…
Searching for Ultralight Dark Matter with MOLeQuTE: a Massive Optically Levitated Quantum Tabletop Experiment
Louis Hamaide, Hannah Banks, Peter Barker +1
Many well theoretically motivated models of ultralight dark matter are expected to give rise to feeble oscillatory forces on macroscopic objects. Optically trapped sensors have hig…
