Optical and electrical feedback cooling of a silica nanoparticle levitated in a Paul trap
Lorenzo Dania, Dmitry S. Bykov, Matthias Knoll +2
All three motional modes of a charged dielectric nanoparticle in a Paul trap are cooled by direct feedback to temperatures of a few mK. We test two methods, one based on electrical…
