Fundamental properties of beam-splitters in classical and quantum optics
Masud Mansuripur, Ewan M. Wright
A lossless beam-splitter has certain (complex-valued) probability amplitudes for sending an incoming photon into one of two possible directions. We use elementary laws of classical…
All-optical sub-Kelvin sympathetic cooling of a levitated microsphere in vacuum
Yoshihiko Arita, Graham D. Bruce, Ewan M. Wright +3
We demonstrate all-optical sympathetic cooling of a laser-trapped microsphere to sub-Kelvin temperatures, mediate by optical binding to a feedback-cooled adjacent particle. Our stu…
The gauge coupled two-body problem in a ring
Joel Priestley, Gerard Valentí-Rojas, Ewan M. Wright +1
We study the properties of two quantum particles which are confined in a ring. The particles interact via a long-range gauge potential proportional to the distance between the part…
Experimental observation of violent relaxation and the formation of out-of-equilibrium quasi-stationary states
M. Lovisetto, M. C. Braidotti, R. Prizia +6
Large scale structures in the Universe, ranging from globular clusters to entire galaxies, are the manifestation of relaxation to out-of-equilibrium states that are not described b…
Cooling the optical-spin driven limit cycle oscillations of a levitated gyroscope
Yoshihiko Arita, Stephen H. Simpson, Graham D. Bruce +3
The non-conservative, azimuthal forces associated with inhomogeneous optical-spin angular momentum play a critical role in optical trapping. Intriguingly, birefringent microspheres…
Searching for Chameleon Dark Energy with Mechanical Systems
J. Betz, J. Manley, E. M. Wright +2
A light scalar field framework of dark energy, sometimes referred to as quintessence, introduces a fifth force between normal matter objects. Screening mechanisms, such as the cham…
