Abstract

The levitated optomechanics, because of its ultra-high mechanical Q > 1010, is considered to be one of the best testbeds for macroscopic quantum superpostions. In this perspective, we give a brief review on the development of the levitated optomechanics, focusing on the macroscopic quantum phenomena, and the applications in quantum precision measurement. The levitated nanodiamond with built-in nitrogen-vacancy centers is discussed as an example. Finally, we discuss the future dirctions of the levtated optomechanics, such as the space-based experiments, the arrays of levitated optomechanics and applications in quantum simulation.
