When a well-localized photon is incident on a spatially superposed absorber but is not absorbed, the photon can still deliver energy to the absorber. It is shown that when the transferred energy is small relative to the energy uncertainty…

Imaging of structural defects in a material can be realized with a radio-frequency atomic magnetometer by monitoring the material's response to a radio-frequency excitation field. We demonstrate two measurement configurations that enable…
The area of trapping the atoms or molecules using light has advanced tremendously in the last few decades. In contrast, the idea of controlling (not only trapping) the movement of atomic-sized particles using quantum mechanical matter waves…
