Our paper in which we demonstrate the vast tunability of optical interactions between levitated glass nanoparticles is published in Science! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… #ScienceResearch 🧵1/18
Researchers in levitated optomechanics aim to exploit some of the unique features of #opticallevitation for novel quantum control techniques in order to create macroscopic quantum states of the particle motion. 2/18
One such feature is that particles smaller than the laser wavelength behave as “dipoles”: they polarize in phase with the laser. The particle radiates some of this light – like an antenna – in phase with the trapping laser as well. This is what we call “coherent scattering”. 3/18
