Nanoparticle arrays levitated in a cavity for quantum sensing
J. H. Iacoponi, M. Rademacher, T. S. Monteiro
Levitated nanoparticles are being investigated as ultrasensitive quantum sensors of forces and accelerations, with applications ranging from fundamental physics phenomena such as d…
Roto-translational optomechanics
M. Rademacher, A. Pontin, J. M. H. Gosling +2
Levitated optomechanics, the interaction between light and small levitated objects, is a new macroscopic quantum system that is being used as a testing ground for fundamental physi…
Feedback cooling scheme for an optically levitated oscillator with controlled cross-talk
J. M. H. Gosling, A. Pontin, F. Alder +3
Levitated optical mechanical systems have demonstrated excellent force and impulse sensitivity and are currently being developed for the creation of non-classical states of motion…
Optical centrifuge for nanoparticles
Peiyao Xiong, Kit Ka Kelvin Ho, J. M. H. Gosling +2
We study the creation of an optical centrifuge for the controlled rotation of levitated nanorotors within an optical tweezer. The optical centrifuge is created by rapidly rotating…
