Quantum noise interference and backaction cooling in cavity nanomechanics.

چکیده
We present a theoretical analysis of a novel cavity electromechanical system where a mechanical resonator directly modulates the damping rate kappa of a driven electromagnetic cavity. We show that via a destructive interference of quantum noise, the driven cavity can effectively act like a zero-temperature bath irrespective of the ratio kappa/omega_{M}, where omega_{M} is the mechanical frequency. This scheme thus allows one to cool the mechanical resonator to its ground state without requiring the cavity to be in the so-called good cavity limit kappa << omega_{M}. The system described here could be implemented directly using setups similar to those used in recent experiments in cavity electromechanics.

Quantum backaction and noise interference in asymmetric two-cavity optomechanical systems
We study the effect of cavity damping asymmetries on backaction in a “membrane-in-the-middle” optomechanical system, where a mechanical mode modulates the coupling between two photonic modes. We show that when the energy difference between the optical modes dominates (i.e., in the adiabatic limit) this system generically realizes a dissipative optomechanical coupling, with an effective position...
متن کاملDynamic dissipative cooling of a mechanical resonator in strong coupling optomechanics.
Cooling of mesoscopic mechanical resonators represents a primary concern in cavity optomechanics. In this Letter, in the strong optomechanical coupling regime, we propose to dynamically control the cavity dissipation, which is able to significantly accelerate the cooling process while strongly suppressing the heating noise. Furthermore, the dynamic control is capable of overcoming quantum backa...
متن کاملCavity-Assisted Back Action Cooling of Mechanical Resonators
We analyze the quantum regime of the dynamical backaction cooling of a mechanical resonator assisted by a driven harmonic oscillator (cavity). Our treatment applies to both optomechanical and electromechanical realizations and includes the effect of thermal noise in the driven oscillator. In the perturbative case, we derive the corresponding motional master equation using the Nakajima-Zwanzig f...
متن کاملTheory of ground state cooling of a mechanical oscillator using dynamical backaction.
A quantum theory of cooling of a mechanical oscillator by radiation pressure-induced dynamical backaction is developed, which is analogous to sideband cooling of trapped ions. We find that final occupancies well below unity can be attained when the mechanical oscillation frequency is larger than the optical cavity linewidth. It is shown that the final average occupancy can be retrieved directly...
متن کاملObservation of quantum-measurement backaction with an ultracold atomic gas
Current research on micromechanical resonators strives for quantum-limited detection of the motion of macroscopic objects. Prerequisite to this goal is the observation of measurement backaction consistent with quantummetrology limits. However, thermal noise currently dominates measurements and precludes ground-state preparation of the resonator. Here, we establish the collective motion of an ul...
