Recent experiments demonstrate cooling of a levitated nanoparticle to its motional ground state, and realize highly tunable non-reciprocal coupling between levitated nanoparticles invoked by light scattering [1,2]. In light of this, I will present the quantum theory of small dielectric objects interacting via the forces and torques induced by scattered tweezer photons [3,4]. The resulting Markovian quantum master equation describes non-reciprocal coupling consistently with the classical results, and is accompanied by correlated quantum noise. I will show how to tune between reciprocal coupling, non-reciprocal coupling and correlated quantum noise and discuss implications for entanglement generation and unidirectional transport through optical binding.
