Optimal displacement detection of arbitrarily-shaped levitated dielectric objects using optical radiation
Shaun Laing, Shelby Klomp, George Winstone +6
Optically-levitated dielectric objects are promising for precision force, acceleration, torque, and rotation sensing due to their extreme environmental decoupling. While many levit…

Backaction suppression in levitated optomechanics using reflective boundaries
Rafał Gajewski, James Bateman
We show theoretically that the noise due to laser induced backaction acting on a small nanosphere levitated in a standing-wave trap can be considerably reduced by utilising a suita…

Bayesian inference for near-field interferometric tests of collapse models
Shaun Laing, James Bateman
We explore the information which proposed matterwave interferometry experiments with large test masses can provide about parameterizable extensions to quantum mechanics, such as ha…
