Optomechanics is concerned with the use of light to control mechanical objects. As a field, it
has been hugely successful in the production of precise and novel sensors, the …

Propulsive effects of light, which often remain unnoticed in our daily-life experience, manifest
themselves on spatial scales ranging from subatomic to astronomical. Light-mediated forces …

Phonon lasers, which exploit coherent amplifications of phonons, are a means to explore
nonlinear phononics, image nanomaterial structures and operate phononic devices …

We describe a variety of searches for new physics beyond the standard model of particle
physics which may be enabled in the coming years by the use of optically levitated masses …

Nanoparticles levitated in an optical trap provide a versatile platform to study mechanical
oscillators in a controlled environment with tuneable parameters. Recently, it has become …

The laser is one of the greatest inventions in history. Because of its ubiquitous applications
and profound societal impact, the concept of the laser has been extended to other physical …

Quantum entanglement plays a key role in both understanding the fundamental aspects of
quantum physics and realizing various quantum devices for practical applications. Here we …

We demonstrate a trapped-ion system with two competing dissipation channels,
implemented independently on two ion species cotrapped in a Paul trap. By controlling …

Light has shown an incredible capability in precision measurement based on optomechanic
interaction in high vacuum by isolating environment noises. However, there are still …

Self-organized synchronization is a ubiquitous collective phenomenon, in which each unit
adjusts their rhythms to achieve synchrony through mutual interactions. The optomechanical …
