Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of the Instantaneous Velocity of a Brownian Particle
TL;DR: A single, optically trapped silica bead is used to probe the dynamics of Brownian motion, measuring the predicted instantaneous velocity of the particle and verifying the short-time-scale behavior predicted a century ago, providing direct verification of the energy equipartition theorem for a Brownian particle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Millikelvin cooling of an optically trapped microsphere in vacuum
TL;DR: In this article, optical trapping of glass microspheres in vacuum with high oscillation frequencies, and cooling of the centre-of-mass motion from room temperature to a minimum temperature of about 1.5
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In the experiments described here, a single ion or a few identical ions were prepared in well-defined superpositions of two internal energy eigenstates, and the populations of the energy levels were measured.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atom Optics Realization of the Quantum δ -Kicked Rotor
TL;DR: The first direct experimental realization of the quantum d-kicked rotor is reported, which consists of a dilute sample of ultracold sodium atoms in a periodic standing wave of near-resonant light that is pulsed on periodically in time to approximate a series of delta functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observation of the quantum zeno and anti-zeno effects in an unstable system.
TL;DR: It is found that the tunneling dynamics are strongly affected by repeated measurement during the non-exponential time, leading to either inhibition (zeno) or enhancement (anti-zenO) of decay.
