Minimization of micromotion for nanoparticles in a Paul trap
Jamie Morley, Jean Paul Louys Sansó, Dmitry Bykov +2
When a charged particle in a Paul trap is displaced from the node of the AC trapping field, excess micromotion arises as an undesired effect. Excess micromotion heats the particle,…
Quantum theory of electrically levitated nanoparticle-ion systems: Motional dynamics and sympathetic cooling
Saurabh Gupta, Bernard Faulend, Dmitry S. Bykov +2
We develop the theory describing the quantum coupled dynamics of the center-of-mass motion of a nanoparticle and an ensemble of ions co-trapped in a dual-frequency linear Paul trap…
A nanoparticle stored with an atomic ion in a linear Paul trap
Dmitry S. Bykov, Lorenzo Dania, Florian Goschin +1
Radiofrequency (RF) traps enable highly controlled interactions between charged particles, including reactions between cold molecular ions, sympathetic cooling of one ion species w…
Back action suppression for levitated dipolar scatterers
Yannick Weiser, Tommaso Faorlin, Lorenz Panzl +6
Levitated dipolar scatterers exhibit exceptional performance as optomechanical systems for observing quantum mechanics at the mesoscopic scale. However, their tendency to scatter l…
State Expansion of a Levitated Nanoparticle in a Dark Harmonic Potential
Eric Bonvin, Louisiane Devaud, Massimiliano Rossi +7
Levitated nanoparticles in vacuum are prime candidates for generating macroscopic quantum superposition states of massive objects. Most protocols for preparing these states necessi…
Hybrid Paul-optical trap with large optical access for levitated optomechanics
Eric Bonvin, Louisiane Devaud, Massimiliano Rossi +7
We present a hybrid trapping platform that allows us to levitate a charged nanoparticle in high vacuum using either optical fields, radio-frequency fields, or a combination thereof…
Ultra-high quality factor of a levitated nanomechanical oscillator
Lorenzo Dania, Dmitry S. Bykov, Florian Goschin +3
A levitated nanomechanical oscillator under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) is highly isolated from its environment. It has been predicted that this isolation leads to very low mechanical…
Position measurement of a levitated nanoparticle via interference with its mirror image
Lorenzo Dania, Katharina Heidegger, Dmitry S. Bykov +3
Interferometric methods for detecting the motion of a levitated nanoparticle provide a route to the quantum ground state, but such methods are currently limited by mode mismatch be…
