  • Abstract: Quantum levitodynamics is a thriving new field in quantum science that aims to control the quantum motion of micro- and nanoparticles levitated,e.g., in optical tweezers. In recent years, researchers have made rapid progress in achieving quantum control of optically levitated dielectric nanoparticles. This progress opens up exciting possibilities for the development of new quantum technologies and for testing quantum physics beyond the microscopic world. In this talk, I will give a brief overview of the field and discuss my group's research activities, in particular, our efforts to develop a novel nanophotonic platform for quantum levitodynamics in new regimes.
