      "summary_nl": "Dit project heeft als doel een zeer gevoelige mechanische sensor te ontwikkelen om minieme terugstoten veroorzaakt door de botsingen van deeltjes te detecteren. De sensor zal voorbijgaan aan bestaande technologische grenzen door gebruik te maken van een zwevend nanodeeltje in vacuum dat op zijn plaats wordt gehouden door elektrische en optische krachten. Hierbij wordt de fundamentele kwantumonzekerheid van de snelheid geminimaliseerd ten koste van de nauwkeurigheid van de positie. Door de sensor te testen met elektrische krachten en elektronenbotsingen zal de basis worden gelegd voor toekomstige zoektochten naar donkere materie.",
      "summary_en": "This project aims to develop a highly sensitive mechanical sensor to detect tiny recoils caused by particle collisions. Using a levitated nanoparticle in vacuum, controlled by electric and optical forces, the sensor will push beyond current technological limits by using a quantum squeezed state of the nanoparticle’s motion, where the fundamental quantum uncertainties of its velocity are reduced at the expense of its position accuracy. The sensor will be tested with electric forces and electron collisions, laying the groundwork for future dark matter searches.",
