Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is a quantum interference effect arising from
different transition pathways of optical fields. Within the transparency window, both …

Optically trapped nanospheres in high vacuum experience little friction and hence are
promising for ultrasensitive force detection. Here we demonstrate measurement times …

Optical manipulations utilizing the mechanical effect of light have been indispensable in
various disciplines. Among those various manipulations, optical pulling has emerged …

An optically levitated nanoparticle in vacuum is a paradigm optomechanical system for
sensing and studying macroscopic quantum mechanics. While its center-of-mass motion has …

A recently proposed experimental protocol for quantum gravity induced entanglement of
masses (QGEM) requires in principle realizable, but still very ambitious, set of parameters in …

Optical manipulation has achieved great success in the fields of biology, micro/nano robotics
and physical sciences in the past few decades. To date, the optical manipulation is still …

The traditional view from particle physics is that quantum-gravity effects should become
detectable only at extremely high energies and small length scales. Owing to the significant …

The passive approach to quantum key distribution (QKD) consists of removing all active
modulation from the users' devices, a highly desirable countermeasure to get rid of …

Rotations of microscale rigid bodies exhibit pronounced quantum phenomena that do not
exist for their centre-of-mass motion. By levitating nanoparticles in ultra-high vacuum …
