Controlling rotations of magnetically levitated superconductors
Fynn Köller, Dominik Maile, Joachim Ankerhold +3
Magnetically trapped type-I superconductors are promising candidates for precision experiments at the quantum-to-classical borderline, with applications in quantum sensing of force…
Probing quantum mechanics using nanoparticle Schrödinger cats
Sebastian Pedalino, Bruno E. Ramírez-Galindo, Richard Ferstl +3
The quantum superposition principle is a cornerstone of physics and at the heart of many quantum technologies. Yet, it is still often regarded counterintuitive because we do not ob…
Desorption-induced decoherence of nanoparticle motion
Jonas Schäfer, Benjamin A. Stickler, Klaus Hornberger
We derive the quantum master equation predicting how the translational and rotational dynamics of a nanoparticle is affected by the emission of surface adsorbates. This is motivate…
Quantum Optical Binding of Nanoscale Particles
Henning Rudolph, Uroš Delić, Klaus Hornberger +1
Optical binding refers to the light-induced interaction between two or more objects illuminated by laser fields. The high tunability of the strength, sign, and reciprocity of this…
Diffracting molecular matter-waves at deep-ultraviolet standing-light waves
Ksenija Simonović, Richard Ferstl, Alfredo Di Silvestro +6
Matter-wave interferometry with molecules is intriguing both because it demonstrates a fundamental quantum phenomenon and because it opens avenues to quantum-enhanced measurements…
Decoherence of dielectric particles by thermal emission
Jonas Schäfer, Benjamin A. Stickler, Klaus Hornberger
Levitated nanoparticles are a promising platform for sensing applications and for macroscopic quantum experiments. While the nanoparticles' motional temperatures can be reduced to…
