Levitated optomechanics is a field of mesoscopic physics which deals with the mechanical motion of mesoscopic particles which are optically or electrically or magnetically levitated. Through the use of levitation, it is possible to decouple the particle's mechanical motion exceptionally well from the environment. This in turn enables the study of high-mass quantum physics, out-of-equilibrium- and nano-thermodynamics[1] and provides the basis for precise sensing applications.[2]
