Feedback cooling of a levitated nanoparticle in a radially polarized vector beam trap

Felipe Almeida, M. Rademacher, J. M. H. Gosling +1

We demonstrate optical levitation and feedback cooling of a silica nanoparticle (radius = 78~nm) trapped within a radial vector beam (RVB) in high vacuum. Radial vector beams, when…

A Penning trap single-photon counter for axion detection

Jack A. Devlin, Marko L. Wojtkowiak, Shreyak R. Banhatti +6

Discovering the microscopic composition of dark matter is one of the most important open problems in physics today. Axions are a leading candidate to be dark matter; however, a sea…

A Spin-Based Pathway to Testing the Quantum Nature of Gravity

Sougato Bose, Anupam Mazumdar, Roger Penrose +52

A key open problem in physics is the correct way to combine gravity (described by general relativity) with everything else (described by quantum mechanics). This problem suggests t…

Roto-translational optomechanics

M. Rademacher, A. Pontin, J. M. H. Gosling +2

Levitated optomechanics, the interaction between light and small levitated objects, is a new macroscopic quantum system that is being used as a testing ground for fundamental physi…

Dark Matter Searches with Levitated Sensors

Eva Kilian, Markus Rademacher, Jonathan M. H. Gosling +8

Motivated by the current interest in employing quantum sensors on Earth and in space to conduct searches for new physics, we provide a perspective on the suitability of large-mass…

Sensing microscopic directional noise baths with an optically cooled and levitated nanoparticle

J. M. H. Gosling, A. Pontin, J. H. Iacoponi +2

Optomechanical devices are being harnessed as sensors of ultraweak forces for applications ranging from inertial sensing to the search for the elusive dark matter. For the latter,…
