Full Rotational Control of Levitated Silicon Nanorods
Stefan Kuhn, Alon Kosloff, Benjamin A. Stickler +4
We study a nanofabricated silicon rod levitated in an optical trap. By manipulating the polarization of the light we gain full control over the ro-translational dynamics of the rod…
Spatio-Orientational Decoherence of Nanoparticles
Benjamin A. Stickler, Birthe Papendell, Klaus Hornberger
Motivated by trapping and cooling experiments with non-spherical nanoparticles, we discuss how their combined rotational and translational quantum state is affected by the interact…
Ro-Translational Cavity Cooling of Dielectric Rods and Disks
Benjamin A. Stickler, Stefan Nimmrichter, Lukas Martinetz +3
We study the interaction of dielectric rods and disks with the laser field of a high finesse cavity. The quantum master equation for the coupled particle-cavity dynamics, including…
