Measuring gravity at micron scale and other fun tricks with optically levitated microspheres
- Giorgio Gratta (Stanford University)
2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Room: PI/1-100 - Theatre I will describe a new program of measurements in fundamental physics using optically levitated dielectric microspheres. The focus of the talk will be the recently completed first search for new, gravity-like interactions at micron scale using this novel technique. I will also show an array of other results, including searches for millicharged particles, Chameleon fields and techniques to manipulate the various degrees of freedom of the trapped microspheres.
