Levitated Quantum Optomechanics with Trapped, Rotating Microparticles

该项目将开发在真空中捕获、旋转和冷却微观粒子的技术，以精确地研究传感器和经典-量子界面的基础物理--即量子真空摩擦。这将导致在旋转悬浮光学机械领域建立一个国际公认的活动，并扩大澳大利亚在量子光子学领域的存在。它在光子学、传感器和先进制造等领域具有潜在的商业利益

This project will develop techniques for trapping, rotating and cooling microscopic particles in vacuum for exquisitely accurate studies of sensors and of fundamental physics at the classical-quantum interface - namely quantum vacuum friction. It will result in the establishment of an internationally recognised activity in rotational levitated optomechanics and expand Australia's presence in the field of quantum photonics. It has the potential for commercial benefit in areas including photonics, sensors and advanced manufacturing
