Upper bound to optical forces through the multipolar control of optical beams
Enrique Ayllón-GarcÃa, Iker Gómez-Viloria, Quimey Pears Stefano +6
Optical tweezers enable the manipulation of microscopic objects using light, yet the fundamental limits to the optical forces that can be exerted on matter remain unknown. Here we…
Controlling the centre of mass motion of levitated particles using structured wavefronts
Shah Jee Rahman, Quimey Pears Stefano, Angel Cifuentes +5
Optically levitated particles have great potential to form the basis of novel quantum- enhanced sensors. These systems are very well suited for inertial sensing, as the particles a…
Optical forces, helicity, angular momentum and how they are all intertwined
Iker Gómez-Viloria, Enrique Ayllón GarcÃa, Jorge Olmos-Trigo +4
The theoretical description of optical forces and torques on micron_sized particles is a crucial area of research and has formed the foundation for advancements in optical trapping…
Parallelized projective measurements for spatial photonic qudits estimation
Quimey Pears Stefano, Lorena Rebón, Claudio Iemmi
We present a quantum state tomography method that enables the reconstruction of \emph{arbitrary} dimensional quantum states encoded in the discretized transverse momentum of ph…
