Optical trapping and manipulation of micrometre-sized particles was first reported in 1970.
Since then, it has been successfully implemented in two size ranges: the subnanometre …

Since their invention in 1986 by Arthur Ashkin and colleagues, optical tweezers have
become an essential tool in several fields of physics, spectroscopy, biology …

The purpose of this book is to present various results and techniques from the theory of
stochastic processes and in particular diffusion processes that are useful in the study of …

The possibility for the manipulation of many different samples using only the light from a
laser beam opened the way to a variety of experiments. The technique, known as Optical …

Optical trapping is the craft of manipulating objects with light. Decades after its first inception
in 1970, the technique has become a powerful tool for ultracold‐atom physics and …

Heterogeneous diffusion processes (HDPs) feature a space-dependent diffusivity of the form
D (x)= D 0| x| α. Such processes yield anomalous diffusion and weak ergodicity breaking …

In the absence of advection, confined diffusion characterizes transport in many natural and
artificial devices, such as ionic channels, zeolites, and nanopores. While extensive …

The Itô versus Stratonovich controversy, about the" correct" calculus to use for integration of
Langevin equations, was settled to general satisfaction some 30 years ago. Recently …

Noisy dynamical models are employed to describe a wide range of phenomena. Since exact
modeling of these phenomena requires access to their microscopic dynamics, whose time …
