Optical tweezers exploit light–matter interactions to trap particles ranging from single atoms to micrometer-sized eukaryotic cells. For this reason, optical tweezers are a ubiquitous tool in physics, biology, and nanotechnology. Recently, the use of deep learning has started to enhance optical tweezers by improving their design, calibration, and real-time control as well as the tracking and analysis of the trapped objects, often outperforming classical methods thanks to the higher computational speed and versatility of deep learning. In this perspective, we show how cutting-edge deep learning approaches can remarkably improve optical tweezers, and explore the exciting, new future possibilities enabled by this dynamic synergy. Furthermore, we offer guidelines on integrating deep learning with optical trapping and optical manipulation in a reliable and trustworthy way.
