报告摘要：

Nanoparticles trapped by optical forces in vacuum are providing increasing insight into physical processes at mesoscopic scales, displaying promise as detectors of weak forces and interactions, facilitating hybrid platforms that couple mechanical motion to electron spin and charge, and aiming to perform fundamental tests of quantum mechanics and gravity. In this talk, I will discuss a new capability to the field of levitated optomechanics—a phonon laser. I will present our theoretical proposal and an experimental demonstration of the phonon laser based on the center-of-mass oscillation of a silica nanosphere levitated in an optical tweezer under vacuum.
