Abstract:Recent experiments with optically levitated particles have shown incredible promise for high-precision sensing of accelerations and gravitational fields as well as exploring mesoscopic physics. One barrier that often stands in the way of improved acceleration sensitivity or quantum state coherence time is high particle temperatures due to absorption of the light from the trapping laser. In optically levitated acceleration sensing architectures, one limitation on the precision of such sensors is often the upper… Show more
