Structured transverse orbital angular momentum probed by a levitated optomechanical sensor
Yanhui Hu, Jack J. Kingsley-Smith, Maryam Nikkhou +4
The momentum carried by structured light fields exhibits a rich array of surprising features. In this work, we generate transverse orbital angular momentum (TOAM) in the interferen…
Event-Based Imaging of Levitated Microparticles
Yugang Ren, Enrique Benedetto, Harry Borrill +5
Event-based imaging is a neurmorphic detection technique whereby an array of pixels detects a positive or negative change in light intensity at each pixel, and is hence particularl…
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…
Direct and clean loading of nanoparticles into optical traps at millibar pressures
Maryam Nikkhou, Yanhui Hu, James A. Sabin +1
Nanoparticles levitated by optical fields under vacuum conditions have applications in quantum science, the study of nanothermodynamics and precision sensing. Existing techniques f…
Quantum experiments with microscale particles
James Millen, Benjamin A. Stickler
Quantum theory is incredibly successful, explaining the microscopic world with great accuracy, from the behaviour of subatomic particles to chemical reactions to solid-state electr…
Single Particle Thermodynamics with Levitated Nanoparticles
James Millen, Jan Gieseler
This chapter is intended as a pedagogical introduction to the dynamics of optically levitated nanoparticles with a focus on the study of single particle thermodynamics. Much of the…
