Quantum fluctuation in rotation velocity of a levitated magnetic particle
Abstract
We consider a ferromagnetic particle levitated in air under microwave irradiation and theoretically study the noise in its rigid-body rotation induced by the gyromagnetic effect. This rotational noise includes useful information on angular momentum transfer from the magnetization to the rigid-body rotation, such as the unit of angular momentum per one spin relaxation process. We formulate the rotational noise in terms of the Lindblad equation, which describes the quantum stochastic process, and estimate it in the case of realistic experimental parameters. We show that a bifurcation phenomenon observed in our setup amplifies the noise and, therefore, can be exploited making an accurate measurement of the rotational noise.
