= Levitated optomechanics
{wiki=Levitated_optomechanics}
Levitated optomechanics is a field of research that combines aspects of optomechanics and optical trapping to study the interaction between light and mechanical systems at the quantum level. In this context, "optomechanics" refers to the study of how light (photons) can affect mechanical motion (like vibrations of a mirror or a cantilever) and vice versa. In classical optomechanics, mechanical systems are typically coupled to optical cavities, where light allows for the manipulation of mechanical elements.
