Levitodynamics on-a-chip: from planar Paul traps to near-field optical nanocavities

Alda, Irene (Date of defense: 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 ...

Levitation and control of particles with internal degrees of freedom

Planes Conangla, Gerard (Date of defense: 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 ...
