Trapping of nanofabricated SiO high-aspect-ratio discs in an optical lattice
Shelby Klomp, Shafaq Gulzar Elahi, Scott Grudichak +13
We describe the nanofabrication and loading of lithographically patterned, high aspect ratio m diameter silicon dioxide discs with thickness of nm into an optical sta…
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…
An Optomechanical Coin Flip: Wavelength-Modulated, Erbium-Powered Rotations in a Levitated System
George Winstone, Maddox Wroblewski, Lars Forberger +9
Optical levitation of nano-scale systems offers a pathway to highly sensitive rotation measurements, which are critical for advancing gyroscopic technologies. While prior studies h…
Magnetic levitation and spatial superposition of a nanodiamond with a current-carrying chip
Qian Xiang, Shafaq Gulzar Elahi, Andrew Geraci +2
We propose a current-carrying-chip scheme for generating spatial quantum superpositions using a levitating nanodiamond with a built-in nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centre defect. Our setu…
Diamagnetic microchip traps for levitated nanoparticle entanglement experiments
Shafaq Gulzar Elahi, Martine Schut, Andrew Dana +4
The Quantum Gravity Mediated Entanglement (QGEM) protocol offers a novel method to probe the quantumness of gravitational interactions at non-relativistic scales. This protocol lev…
Constant Curvature 3-branes in 5-D f(R) Bulk
Shafaq Gulzar Elahi, Soumya Samrat Mandal, Soumitra SenGupta
Braneworld models remain the most promising candidates to address several important questions in low-energy particle phenomenology and cosmology. The role of the moduli field(s) an…
Probing massless and massive gravitons via entanglement in a warped extra dimension
Shafaq Gulzar Elahi, Anupam Mazumdar
Gravity's quantum nature can be probed in a laboratory by witnessing the entanglement between the two quantum systems, which cannot be possible if gravity is a classical entity. In…
Novel modulus stabilization mechanism in higher dimensional f(R) Gravity
Shafaq Gulzar Elahi, Soumya Samrat Mandal, Soumitra SenGupta
In this work, we obtain a new warped solution for a 5-dimensional gravity in an anti de-Sitter bulk. The higher curvature term in the gravity action is shown to modify the…
