Optimal Cold Atom Thermometry Using Adaptive Bayesian Strategies by Jonas Glatthard, Jesús Rubio, Rahul Sawant, Thomas Hewitt, Giovanni Barontini, Luis A. Correa

“…Specifically, we process data from real and simulated release-recapture thermometry experiments on few potassium atoms cooled down to the microkelvin range in an optical tweezer. From simulations, we demonstrate that adaptively choosing the release-recapture times to maximize information gain does substantially reduce the number of measurements needed for the estimate to converge to a final reading. …”

Sensing directional noise baths in levitated optomechanics by J. M. H. Gosling, A. Pontin, J. H. Iacoponi, P. F. Barker, T. S. Monteiro

“…However, the possibility of searching for a stochastic stream of weak impulses, or more generally a directional broadband signal, need not be excluded; with this and other applications in mind, we apply Gaussian white noise impulses with a well defined direction Ψ to a levitated nanosphere trapped and 3D cooled in an optical tweezer. We find that cross-correlation power spectra offer a calibration-free distinctive signature of the presence of a directional broadband force and its orientation quadrant, unlike normal power spectral densities (PSDs). …”
