“Quantum optomechanics with levitated solids: sensing, simulation and the gravity-quantum
interface”
I will discuss our current experiments to achieve quantum optical control over motional
states of levitated solids. This includes dielectric nanospheres coupled to Fabry-Perot
cavities and nanophotonic structures, as well as micron-sized superconductors and magnets
that will eventually be coupled to superconducting circuits. I will provide an overview of
the status and challenges, and of the perspectives for such experiments for sensing,
simulation and for novel tests of the interface between quantum physics and gravity.
Guest Presentation will begin at 4:30 PM
Refreshments will be provided.
