Toroidal Electromagnetic pulses

That's disgusting! No, I want to engineer field geometries that bias how higher-dimensional state variables project into 3D motion, allowing non-intuitive trajectories without direct mechanical force.

Two pairs of Helmholtz coils placed at right angles are known to be the simplest configuration for uniform field generation but the space available around the sample stage dictates that the coil pair is slightly further apart than that of a Helmholtz configuration (see Supplementary Information Figure S1 for details of the coil holder design). This introduces small non-uniformity into the field, which is discussed later.
