Optical trapping of a cube
A. M. Branczyk, T. A. Nieminen, N. R. Heckenberg +1
The successful development and optimisation of optically-driven micromachines will be greatly enhanced by the ability to computationally model the optical forces and torques applie…
Quantum Control of a Single Qubit
Agata M. Branczyk, Paulo E. M. F. Mendonca, Alexei Gilchrist +2
Measurements in quantum mechanics cannot perfectly distinguish all states and necessarily disturb the measured system. We present and analyse a proposal to demonstrate fundamental…
Modelling optical micro-machines
Vincent L. Y. Loke, Timo A. Nieminen, Agata M. Branczyk +2
A strongly focused laser beam can be used to trap, manipulate and exert torque on a microparticle. The torque is the result of transfer of angular momentum by scattering of the las…
Towards efficient modelling of optical micromanipulation of complex structures
T. A. Nieminen, V. L. Y. Loke, A. M. Branczyk +2
Computational methods for electromagnetic and light scattering can be used for the calculation of optical forces and torques. Since typical particles that are optically trapped or…
Photon Added Detection
A. M. Branczyk, Tobias J. Osborne, Alexei Gilchrist +1
The production of conditional quantum states and quantum operations based on the result of measurement is now seen as a key tool in quantum information and metrology. We propose a…
