DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Benjamin Stickler\nhosted by Misha Lemeshko\nAbstract:
  Using laser fields to levitate aspherical nanoscale particles offers an a
 ttractive route towards ultra-sensitive torque sensors [1] and fundamental
  tests of quantum mechanics. In this talk I will present the theory of ro-
 translational optomechanics [2] and environment-induced orientational deco
 herence [3\,4]. I will argue that cooling the rotation of aspherical nanop
 articles into the quantum regime is feasible and opens the door for the ob
 servation of orientational quantum revivals [5]\, a complete recurrence of
  its initial orientation after integer multiples of a characteristic reviv
 al time.[1] S. Kuhn\, B. A. Stickler\, A. Kosloff\, F. Patolsky\, K. Hornb
