Limits on the abundance of millicharged particles bound to matter
Gadi Afek, Fernando Monteiro, Jiaxiang Wang +3
Millicharged particles (mCPs) are hypothesized particles possessing an electric charge that is a fraction of the charge of the electron. We report a search for mCPs with charges $\…
Mechanical Quantum Sensing in the Search for Dark Matter
Daniel Carney, Gordan Krnjaic, David C. Moore +32
Numerous astrophysical and cosmological observations are best explained by the existence of dark matter, a mass density which interacts only very weakly with visible, baryonic matt…
Search for composite dark matter with optically levitated sensors
Fernando Monteiro, Gadi Afek, Daniel Carney +3
Results are reported from a search for a class of composite dark matter models with feeble, long-range interactions with normal matter. We search for impulses arising from passing…
Force and acceleration sensing with optically levitated nanogram masses at microkelvin temperatures
Fernando Monteiro, Wenqiang Li, Gadi Afek +3
This paper demonstrates cooling of the center-of-mass motion of 10 m-diameter optically levitated silica spheres to an effective temperature of K, achieved by minimiz…
Optical Rotation of Levitated Spheres in High Vacuum
Fernando Monteiro, Sumita Ghosh, Elizabeth C. van Assendelft +1
A circularly polarized laser beam is used to levitate and control the rotation of microspheres in high vacuum. At low pressure, rotation frequencies as high as 6 MHz are observed f…
Revealing Genuine Optical-Path Entanglement
F. Monteiro, V. Caprara Vivoli, T. Guerreiro +5
How can one detect entanglement between multiple optical paths sharing a single photon? We address this question by proposing a scalable protocol, which only uses local measurement…
