Experimental realization of diffusion with stochastic resetting. (a) Sample trajectory of a silica particle diffusing (blue) near the bottom of a sample cell. The particle sets off from the origin and is reset at a rate r = 0.05 s^–1. Following a resetting epoch, the particle is driven back to the origin at a constant radial velocity v = 0.8 μm/s using HOTs (red). After the particle arrives at the origin it remains trapped there for a short period of time to improve localization (green). The inset shows a schematic illustration of the experiment. (b) Projection of the particle’s trajectory onto the x-axis.
