Decoherence of nonrelativistic bosonic quantum fields
Marduk Bolaños, Benjamin A. Stickler, Klaus Hornberger
We present a generic Markovian master equation inducing the gradual classicalization of a bosonic quantum field. It leads to the decoherence of quantum superpositions of field conf…
Full Rotational Control of Levitated Silicon Nanorods
Stefan Kuhn, Alon Kosloff, Benjamin A. Stickler +4
We study a nanofabricated silicon rod levitated in an optical trap. By manipulating the polarization of the light we gain full control over the ro-translational dynamics of the rod…
Spatio-Orientational Decoherence of Nanoparticles
Benjamin A. Stickler, Birthe Papendell, Klaus Hornberger
Motivated by trapping and cooling experiments with non-spherical nanoparticles, we discuss how their combined rotational and translational quantum state is affected by the interact…
Quantum reflection and interference of matter waves from periodically doped surfaces
Benjamin A. Stickler, Uzi Even, Klaus Hornberger
We show that periodically doped, flat surfaces can act as reflective diffraction gratings for atomic and molecular matter waves. The diffraction element is realized by exploiting t…
