Rotational Quantum Tunneling of a Magnetic Dipole in a Superconducting Trap
Francis J. Headley, Fabian Müller, Emre Köse +3
We study the quantum dynamics of the rotational degree of freedom of a nano-magnet trapped in a superconducting trap. The nano-magnet is modeled as a magnetic dipole with magnetiza…
Coherent expansion of the motional state of a massive nanoparticle beyond its linear dimensions
R. Muffato, T. S. Georgescu, M. Carlesso +2
Quantum mechanics predicts that massive particles exhibit wave-like behavior. Matterwave interferometry has been able to validate such predictions through ground-breaking experimen…
Creation of a black hole bomb instability in an electromagnetic system
Marion Cromb, Maria Chiara Braidotti, Andrea Vinante +2
The amplification and generation of electromagnetic radiation by a rotating metallic or lossy cylinder, first theorized by Zeldovich in the 1970s, is tightly connected to the conce…
Metrology of Gravitational Effects with Mechanical Quantum Systems
Daniel Braun, Marta Maria Marchese, Stefan Nimmrichter +3
Mechanical quantum systems, such as resonators and levitated particles, offer unique opportunities for quantum metrology. Particularly, their significant mass and quantum-level con…
