Discharge at the Microscale: Using Optical Tweezers to Observe Muon-Induced Discharges of a Levitated Microparticle in Air
Andrea Stoellner, Isaac C. D. Lenton, Caroline Muller +1
Electrical discharge at the smallest possible length and charge scales is not well understood. Using optical tweezers, we investigate spontaneous discharges of a single micron-scal…
Measuring the measurement problem: controlling decoherence with measurement duration in molecular MCB junctions
C. J. Muller
We investigate the influence of the measurement duration on quantum coherence in molecular mechanically controlled break junctions operating in a tetrahydrofuran (THF) partially we…
Using optical tweezers to simultaneously trap, charge and measure the charge of a microparticle in air
Andrea Stoellner, Isaac C. D. Lenton, Artem G. Volosniev +9
Optical tweezers are widely used as a highly sensitive tool to measure forces on micron-scale particles. One such application is the measurement of the electric charge of a particl…
The impact of a measurement on an open quantum system
C. J. Muller
A molecular MCB junction in the partially wet phase has been used to probe effects related to open quantum systems. Although the exact quantum system, environment, and coupling, ar…
