Levitated quantum optomechanics
At the heart of our platform are optically levitated nanoparticles — masses suspended in vacuum and cooled toward the quantum ground state. Free from mechanical contact, these sensors reach exquisite sensitivity to force, acceleration, and field, opening measurement regimes that conventional probes cannot reach.
A focused laser traps a sub-micron particle in an optical potential inside a high-vacuum chamber. By reading out the particle’s motion and feeding it back through the light field, we cool it to ultra-low effective temperatures — turning a single levitated mass into a near-ideal, calibration-stable transducer.
