Optical tweezers (OTs) are innovative instruments utilized for the manipulation of
microscopic biological objects of interest. Rapid improvements in precision and degree of …

Optical trapping is the craft of manipulating objects with light. Decades after its first inception
in 1970, the technique has become a powerful tool for ultracold‐atom physics and …

Optical tweezers are tools made of light that enable contactless pushing, trapping, and
manipulation of objects, ranging from atoms to space light sails. Since the pioneering work …

Superradiance (SR) is a cooperative phenomenon which occurs when an ensemble of
quantum emitters couples collectively to a mode of the electromagnetic field as a single …

We show that induced dipole-dipole interactions allow for photon blockade in
subwavelength ensembles of two-level, ground-state neutral atoms. Our protocol relies on …

Relaxometry schemes employing nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamonds are essential
in biology and physics to detect a reduction of the color centers' characteristic spin relaxation …

The optical resonance between an absorbing particle and the trapping laser can enhance
the radiation force exerted on micro/nanoscale objects. However, the exact mechanism …

Controlling the motion of macroscopic oscillators in the quantum regime has been the
subject of intense research in recent decades. In this direction, opto-mechanical systems …

We experimentally demonstrate stable trapping and controlled manipulation of silica
microspheres in a structured optical beam consisting of a dark focus surrounded by light in …

Conventionally, the work of adhesion at the nanoscale is estimated using an atomic force
microscope with a tip of the size of 10 nm. It is pressed into a surface with nano-Newton …
