Collisional decoherence of polar molecules
K. Walter, B. A. Stickler, K. Hornberger
The quantum state of motion of a large and rotating polar molecule can lose coherence through the collisions with gas atoms. We show how the associated quantum master equation for…
Molecular Rotations in Matter-Wave Interferometry
Benjamin A. Stickler, Klaus Hornberger
We extend the theory of matter-wave interferometry of point-like particles to non-spherical objects by taking the orientational degrees of freedom into account. In particular, we d…
Cavity-assisted manipulation of freely rotating silicon nanorods in high vacuum
Stefan Kuhn, Peter Asenbaum, Alon Kosloff +7
Optical control of nanoscale objects has recently developed into a thriving field of research with far-reaching promises for precision measurements, fundamental quantum physics and…
