DESCRIPTION:Speaker: James Millen\nhosted by Scott Waitukaitis\nAbstract: I
 n the last few years\, it has become possible to cool levitated nanopartic
 les to the ground-state of an optical potential\, opening the possibility 
 of performing quantum experiments with solid objects made out of billions 
 of atoms. In this talk\, I will outline why understanding and manipulatin
 g the rotation of levitated nanoparticles is key to this endeavour. I will
  introduce research from my group on controlling the motion and rotation o
 f silicon nano-cylinders. and how they can be used for quantum and classic
 al sensing applications. I will also introduce some novel detection and fe
 edback control technology developed in the group\, for tracking and contro
 lling multiple levitated objects simultaneously. Nature Communications 1
