The interaction of light and matter is of crucial importance in fundamental science as well as in high-end technology. Ultimately, this concerns the interaction between a photon and a single quantum system, e.g. the ...
Sánchez, Aurelien (Fecha de defensa: 2022-07-25)
Since discovering wave-particle duality, science has changed our perception of light and matter, especially at the subatomic level. Thanks to such discoveries, we have been able to develop and expand our scientific knowledge ...
Terborg, Roland A. (Fecha de defensa: 2018-10-19)
As health systems fight against epidemics and infectious diseases, new forms of diagnostics need to be developed in order to meet the growing demand for services, often in locations without the necessary infrastructure. ...
Planes Conangla, Gerard (Fecha de defensa: 2020-06-30)
Levitodynamics is a fast growing field that studies the levitation and manipulation of micro- and nanoobjects, fuelled by both fundamental physics questions and technological applications. Due to the isolated nature of ...
Alda, Irene (Fecha de defensa: 2020-07-09)
The field of levitation optomechanics---or levitodynamics---studies the manipulation and control of small trapped objects in an isolated environment, providing a gateway to answer fundamental questions in physics and ...
Ricci, Francesco, 1987- (Fecha de defensa: 2019-02-22)
Levitodynamics addresses the levitation and manipulation of micro- and nanoresonators with the purpose of studying their dynamics. This emerging field has attracted much attention over the last few years owing to unprecedented ...
