I was at the Gordon Research Seminars (GRS) in Ventura,CA, presenting our latest work demonstrating an underdamped stochastic heat engine. The T-dS diagram demonstrates a full engine cycle for the underdamped oscillator Schematic of the Stirling Engine Cycle we implemented These are hot-out of the oven results from the Millen Lab - so watch this … Continue reading Presenting at GRS: Towards an efficient underdamped heat engine
Check out our new ArXiv pre-print on detecting levitated microspheres using event based cameras. Abstract. Event-based imaging is a neurmorphic detection technique whereby an array of pixels detects a positive or negative change in light intensity at each pixel, and is hence particularly well suited to detecting motion. As compared to standard camera technology, an … Continue reading Event-Based Imaging of Levitated Microparticles
What do you do when you have an physicist visit the lab for a week? Well you do an intense marathon of solving a single-problem together. Ruvi with his excellent programming skills and interest in instrument control, coupled with our current project of developing Event-Based imaging capability - well, we decided to work through the … Continue reading A week with Ruvi Lecamwasam
I had the pleasure of being part of the UniKORN committee that organised a panel discussion last week on the question of optomechanical interfaces as a tool to test Quantum Mechanics & Gravity. For over a century, physicists have grappled with the apparent conflict between Gravity and Quantum mechanics. Specifically, our inability to come up … Continue reading Optomechanical interfaces of Quantum Mechanics & Gravity
After more than 3 months of separation I am reunited with The Ion Trap. I would give it a hug if it was appropriate... Great work by James and Katie for trapping the particle. Now i get to play with it... what to do? Hhhmmm...Ah yes! calibrate🤔
I have been deeply honoured to be accepted to attend the Lindau Online Science Days 2020; alongside hundreds of talented scientists and economists from around the world. Check out the imppressive and aspirational aims of Lindau below on their website.
Check out our pre-print title "Testing collapse models with levitated nanoparticles: the detection challenge"
With evergrowing responsibilities and evergrowing interests, as well as upon the advice of numerous people, I have decided to maintain a website whereby I can promote the very exciting research and activities I happen to be part of.
