Spatial superposition for a two-dimensional matter-wave interferometer in an inverted harmonic potential with gyroscopic rotational stability
Ryan Rizaldy, Tian Zhou, Run Zhou +1
This study presents a mathematical model of the spatial and rotational motion of a nanodiamond in an inverted harmonic potential to create a macroscopic quantum spatial superpositi…
Measuring Hall voltage and Hall resistance in an atom-based quantum simulator
T. -W. Zhou, T. Beller, G. Masini +7
In the Hall effect, a voltage drop develops perpendicularly to the current flow in the presence of a magnetic field, leading to a transverse Hall resistance. Recent developments wi…
Trapping, manipulating and probing ultracold atoms: a quantum technologies tutorial
Louise Wolswijk, Luca Cavicchioli, Giuseppe Vinelli +12
Engineered ultracold atomic systems are a valuable platform for fundamental quantum mechanics studies and the development of quantum technologies. At near zero absolute temperature…
A Spin-Based Pathway to Testing the Quantum Nature of Gravity
Sougato Bose, Anupam Mazumdar, Roger Penrose +52
A key open problem in physics is the correct way to combine gravity (described by general relativity) with everything else (described by quantum mechanics). This problem suggests t…
Spin contrast, finite temperature, and noise in matter-wave interferometer
Tian Zhou, Ryan Rizaldy, Martine Schut +1
In this paper, we will show how finite-temperature corrections and spin-dependent/independent noise will affect the contrast in a matter-wave interferometer, especially with massiv…
Gyroscopic stability for nanoparticles in Stern-Gerlach Interferometry and spin contrast
Tian Zhou, Sougato Bose, Anupam Mazumdar
Creating macroscopic spatial quantum superposition with a nanoparticle has a multitude of applications, ranging from testing the foundations of quantum mechanics, matter-wave inter…
