We describe a variety of searches for new physics beyond the standard model of particle physics which may be enabled in the coming years by the use of optically levitated masses in high vacuum. Such systems are expected to reach force and acceleration sensitivities approaching (and possibly eventually exceeding) the standard quantum limit over the next decade. For new forces or phenomena that couple to mass, high precision sensing using objects with masses in the fg–ng range have significant discovery potential for new physics. Such applications include tests of fundamental force laws, searches for non-neutrality of matter, high-frequency gravitational wave detectors, dark matter searches, and tests of quantum foundations using massive objects.

我们描述了除粒子物理标准模型之外的各种新物理搜索，这些搜索可能在未来几年中通过在高真空中使用光悬浮物质而实现。预计在未来十年内，此类系统将达到接近（甚至可能最终超过）标准量子极限的力和加速度灵敏度。对于与质量耦合的新力或现象，使用质量在fg–ng范围内的物体进行高精度感测对于新物理学具有重大的发现潜力。这些应用包括基本力定律的测试，物质非中性的搜索，高频引力波探测器，暗物质搜索以及使用大型物体的量子基础的测试。
