The fractal dimension of Brownian dynamics in liquids
Michael C. Thumann, Jason Boynewicz, Giuseppe Procopio +2
The classical Einstein-Langevin theory of Brownian motion assumes a memoryless thermal bath, establishing a universal fractal dimension of for the velocity fluctuations…
Observation of Super-ballistic Brownian Motion in Liquid
Jason Boynewicz, Michael C. Thumann, Mark G. Raizen
Brownian motion is a foundational physical process characterized by a mean squared displacement that scales linearly in time in thermal equilibrium, known as diffusion. At short ti…
Testing Distinguishability and Determinism in Atoms
Mark G. Raizen
We propose and analyze experiments to test distinguishability and determinism in atoms. As a first step, we consider experiments to test if atoms are distinguishable from each othe…
Surface scattering of atoms for high-sensitivity spectroscopy
V. J. Ajith, Aaron Barr, Mark Raizen
High-sensitivity laser spectroscopy is integral to applications like atomic clocks, quantum computers, and chemical sensing. Lowering atomic temperature decreases spectral Doppler…
