MAQRO -- BPS 2023 Research Campaign Whitepaper
Rainer Kaltenbaek, Markus Arndt, Markus Aspelmeyer +43
The objective of the proposed MAQRO mission is to harness space for achieving long free-fall times, extreme vacuum, nano-gravity, and cryogenic temperatures to test the foundations…
Torque-free manipulation of nanoparticle rotations via embedded spins
Yue Ma, M. S. Kim, Benjamin A. Stickler
Spin angular momentum and mechanical rotation both contribute to the total angular momentum of rigid bodies, leading to spin-rotational coupling via the Einstein-de Haas and Barnet…
Electric trapping and circuit cooling of charged nanorotors
Lukas Martinetz, Klaus Hornberger, Benjamin A. Stickler
The motion of charged particles can be interfaced with electric circuitry via the current induced in nearby pick-up electrodes. Here we show how the rotational and translational dy…
Theory of nanoparticle cooling by elliptic coherent scattering
Henning Rudolph, Jonas Schäfer, Benjamin A. Stickler +1
Coherent scattering of an elliptically polarised tweezer into a cavity mode provides a promising platform for cooling levitated nanoparticles into their combined rotational and tra…
Quantum rotations of nanoparticles
Benjamin A. Stickler, Klaus Hornberger, M. S. Kim
Rotations of microscale rigid bodies exhibit pronounced quantum phenomena that do not exist for their center-of-mass motion. By levitating nanoparticles in ultra-high vacuum, resea…
Enantiomer superpositions from matter-wave interference of chiral molecules
Benjamin A. Stickler, Mira Diekmann, Robert Berger +1
Molecular matter-wave interferometry enables novel strategies for manipulating the internal mechanical motion of complex molecules. Here, we show how chiral molecules can be prepar…
