Abstract: The use of a (quasi)uniform magnetic field opens new possibilities for a production of twisted particles having orbital angular momenta. Quantum states suitable for a production of charged particles in a uniform magnetic field are determined. The particle penetration from a solenoid to vacuum or another solenoid is analyzed in detail. Experiments allowing one successful discoveries of twisted positrons and positroniums are developed. We find a new effect of increasing a uncertainty of phase of the particle rotation with the distance passed by the particle in the solenoid. This effect leads to exciting new possibilities of production of twisted particles in real solenoids without additional devices like particle sources.

Spin Read-out of the Motion of Levitated Electrically Rotated Diamonds [0.0]
We demonstrate electrically driven rotation of micro-particles levitating in Paul traps. Spin states of nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamonds undergoing full rotation were successfully controlled. These achievements mark progress toward interfacing full rotation with internal magnetic degrees of freedom in micron-scale objects.

Scalable all-optical cold damping of levitated nanoparticles [3.0112534079486846]
We introduce a novel all-optical cold damping scheme based on spatial modulation of the trap position. We show that the technique cools the center-of-mass motion of particles down to $17,$mK at a pressure of $2 times 10-6,$mbar. Our work paves the way towards studying quantum interactions between particles, achieving 3D quantum control of particle motion without cavity-based cooling, electrodes or charged particles.

Dispersive readout of molecular spin qudits [68.8204255655161]
We study the physics of a magnetic molecule described by a "giant" spin with multiple $d > 2$ spin states. We derive an expression for the output modes in the dispersive regime of operation. We find that the measurement of the cavity transmission allows to uniquely determine the spin state of the qudits.

Detectable Signature of Quantum Friction on a Sliding Particle in Vacuum [58.720142291102135]
We show traces of quantum friction in the degradation of the quantum coherence of a particle. We propose to use the accumulated geometric phase acquired by a particle as a quantum friction sensor. The experimentally viable scheme presented can spark renewed optimism for the detection of non-contact friction.

Quantum coherent spin-electric control in a molecular nanomagnet at clock transitions [57.50861918173065]
Electrical control of spins at the nanoscale offers architectural advantages in spintronics. Recent demonstrations of electric-field (E-field) sensitivities in molecular spin materials are tantalising. E-field sensitivities reported so far are rather weak, prompting the question of how to design molecules with stronger spin-electric couplings.

Spin current generation and control in carbon nanotubes by combining rotation and magnetic field [78.72753218464803]
We study the quantum dynamics of ballistic electrons in rotating carbon nanotubes in the presence of a uniform magnetic field. By suitably combining the applied magnetic field intensity and rotation speed, one can tune one of the currents to zero while keeping the other one finite, giving rise to a spin current generator.
