Abstract
In this talk I will describe our recent theoretical work on levitated optomechanics with nanoparticles. I will address cooling and regenerative center-of-mass motion (phonon lasing) theory in relation to the experiments in the group of our collaborator A. N. Vamivakas at the University of Rochester.
