By using specially tuned laser light in the optical tweezers, the researchers are able to control molecules with unprecedented precision, paving the way for more complex quantum operations.

The foundations of optical tweezers, also known as optical traps, can be traced back to the early 20th century when the idea of radiation pressure and the momentum carried by light was first explored.

Their tweezers can drive the movement of water drops ... to create a lateral electric field across the whole device. When light is shone onto the undoped Si:H layer, electron–hole pairs are ...
