Abstract
Optically levitated micro and nanoparticles in vacuum offer new approaches for precision measurement and fundamental physics. We will discuss the use of rotational degree of freedom and describe experiments and theory for rotating vaterite crystals. This will include rotation-translation coupling, achieving high Q values and studying limit cycles. The work will describe the extension to two particles with optical binding and the observation of sympathetic cooling.
