Abstract
Cooling the center-of-mass motion of levitated nanoparticles provides a route to quantum experiments at mesoscopic scales. Here we demonstrate three-dimensional sympathetic cooling and detection of the center-of-mass motion of a levitated silica nanoparticle. The nanoparticle is electrostatically coupled to a feedback-cooled particle while both particles are trapped in the same Paul trap. We identify two regimes, based on the strength of the cooling: in the first regime, the sympathetically cooled particle thermalizes with the directly cooled one, while in the second regime, the sympathetically cooled particle reaches a minimum temperature. This result provides a route to efficiently cool and detect particles that cannot be illuminated with strong laser light, such as absorptive particles, and paves the way for controlling the motion of arrays of several trapped nanoparticles.
