Limit on spatial quantum superpositions with massive objects due to phonons
Carsten Henkel, Ron Folman
It has been a long-standing goal to bring massive objects into a superposition of different locations in real space, not only to confirm quantum theory in new regimes, but also to…
Long-time equilibration can determine transient thermality
Karen V. Hovhannisyan, Somayyeh Nemati, Carsten Henkel +1
When two initially thermal many-body systems start interacting strongly, their transient states quickly become non-Gibbsian, even if the systems eventually equilibrate. To see beyo…
Phonon-dominated energy transport in purely metallic heterostructures
M. Herzog, A. von Reppert, J. -E. Pudell +5
We use ultrafast x-ray diffraction to quantify the transport of energy in laser-excited nanoscale Au/Ni bilayers. Electron transport and efficient electron-phonon coupling in Ni co…
Electron spin spectroscopy of single TEMPO dimers coupled via interfering tunneling currents
Yishay Manassen, Moamen Jbara, Michael Averbukh +3
We report the detection of electron spin resonance (ESR) in individual dimers of the stable free radical 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO). ESR is measured by the curre…
Internal decoherence in nano-object interferometry due to phonons
Carsten Henkel, Ron Folman
We discuss the coherent splitting and recombining of a nanoparticle in a mesoscopic "closed-loop" Stern-Gerlach interferometer in which the observable is the spin of a single impur…
A study of submillimeter methanol absorption toward PKS1830-211: Excitation, invariance of the proton-electron mass ratio, and systematics
S. Muller, W. Ubachs, K. M. Menten +2
Methanol is an important tracer to probe physical and chemical conditions in the interstellar medium of galaxies. Methanol is also the most sensitive target molecule for probing po…
