Optical levitation of fluorescent silicon carbide nanoparticles in vacuum
AIP AdvancesLevitated optomechanics is an emerging field in quantum science that explores the quantum motion of mesoscopic particles levitated in a vacuum. Expanding this approach to particles with intrinsic quantum defects opens exciting opportunities for quantum ...

Experimental evidence for Abraham pressure of light
New Journal of Physics, 2015 The question of how much momentum light carries in media has been debated for over a century. Two rivalling theories, one from 1908 by Hermann Minkowski and the other from 1909 by Max Abraham, predict the exact opposite when light enters an optical ...

Optomechanical force sensor in a non-Markovian regime
New Journal of Physics, 2017 An optomechanical force sensor for a mechanical oscillator in a non-Markovian environment is presented. By performing homodyne detection, we obtain a general expression for the output signal.

Entangling the motion of two optically trapped objects via time-modulated driving fields
New Journal of Physics, 2015 We study entanglement of the motional degrees of freedom of two tethered and optically trapped microdisks inside a single cavity. By properly choosing the position of the trapped objects in the optical cavity and driving proper modes of the cavity, it is
