Levitated Nanoparticles have received much attention for their potential to perform quantum mechanical experiments even at room temperature. However, even in the regime where the particle dynamics are purely classical, there is a lot of interesting physics that can be explored. Here we review the application of levitated nanoparticles as a new experimental platform to explore stochastic thermodynamics in small systems.
悬浮纳米粒子因其即使在室温下也有进行量子力学实验的潜力而备受关注。然而,即使在粒子动力学完全是经典的情况下,也有许多有趣的物理学现象可供探索。在这里,我们回顾了悬浮纳米粒子作为一个新的实验平台在探索小系统中的随机热力学方面的应用。
