In our latest work at @univienna, just published in @NaturePhysics, we explore how nonreciprocal forces between two optically trapped glass nanoparticles lead to non-Hermitian dynamics and nonlinear collective phases of motion. 1/17 https://t.co/LiwxCbZN7T
This work has been funded by @FWF_at, @dfg_public, @MSCActions and @CZ_Stiftung. Our press release is available at https://t.co/D0jKfuvD3a. A really nice News & Views by our colleague Jayadev Vijayan is available at https://t.co/dmDhEI34tu. 17/17
Altogether, the results showed how concepts from non-Hermitian physics, nonreciprocity, and dynamical systems all show up in the dynamics of a simple yet complex system of just two optically trapped particles. Imagine what would happen with three! 16/17
The FWF START Award will allow us to investigate interacting arrays of optically levitated nanoparticles in the quantum regime. For more details about the research questions, here's the interview with Dorian Schiffer for the FWF website (English translation available):
Von einzelnen Lichtteilchen bis zu Supraleitern, #Quantenphysik kann Phänomene auf verschiedensten Größenordnungen mit Präzision beschreiben. #START-Preisträger Uroš Delić untersucht, wie sich interagierende Quantensysteme verhalten.

Uroš Delić was awarded one of the prestigious START prizes, the highest 🇦🇹award for young scientists👏
He will carry out his project on interacting #quantum systems, endowed with around 1.2 mill €, as a junior group leader at @iqoqi Innsbruck. @oeaw@FWF_at
