Trapping microparticles in a structured dark focus
F. Almeida, I. Sousa, O. Kremer +5
We experimentally demonstrate stable trapping and controlled manipulation of silica microspheres in a structured optical beam consisting of a dark focus surrounded by light in all…
Molecular machines for quantum error correction
Thiago Guerreiro
Inspired by biological molecular machines we explore the idea of an active quantum robot whose purpose is delaying decoherence. A conceptual model capable of partially protecting a…
Quantum Molecular Robots
Thiago Guerreiro
Living organisms exploit complex molecular machines to execute crucial functions in chaotic environments. Inspired by nature's molecular setups we explore the idea of a quantum mec…
Entanglement Dynamics in Dispersive Optomechanics: Non-Classicality and Revival
Igor Brandão, Bruno Suassuna, Bruno Melo +1
We study entanglement dynamics in dispersive optomechanical systems consisting of two optical modes and a mechanical oscillator inside an optical cavity. The two optical modes inte…
Relaxing constraints on data acquisition and position detection for trap stiffness calibration in optical tweezers
Bruno Melo, Felipe Almeida, Guilherme Temporão +1
Optical tweezers find applications in various fields, ranging from biology to physics. One of the fundamental steps necessary to perform quantitative measurements using trapped par…
Directed graphs and interferometry
Bruno Melo, Igor Brandão, Carlos Tomei +1
The observed output of an interferometer is the result of interference among the parts of the input light beam traveling along each possible optical path. In complex systems, writi…
