Abstract
Levitated optomechanics is the combination of optomechanics and quantum optics. It provides a new quantum method to control and measure micro-nano mechanical oscillator. This method has unprecedented observation accuracy, can approach or even break the standard quantum limit, and has broad development and application prospects. At present, the system has been used to measure the force, torque, displacement, acceleration and other physical parameters with high sensitivity at room temperature. In this paper, the research status of levitated optomechanics and its progress in precision sensing and measurement are reviewed. As a frontier technology developed in recent years, levitated optomechanics has gradually moved from basic research to application, especially in the field of inertial sensing and precision measurement. Finally, suggestions for developing the inertial sensing disruptive technology based on levitated optomechanics are put forward, which can provide reference for the development planning of inertial sensing and quantum precision measurement technology.
