Cavity-Assisted Back Action Cooling of Mechanical Resonators
I. Wilson-Rae, N. Nooshi, J. Dobrindt +2
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 optomec…
Intrinsic dissipation in nanomechanical resonators due to phonon tunneling
I. Wilson-Rae
State of the art nanomechanical resonators present quality factors Q ~ 10^3 - 10^5, which are much lower than those that can be naively extrapolated from the behavior of micromecha…
Theory of ground state cooling of a mechanical oscillator using dynamical back-action
I. Wilson-Rae, N. Nooshi, W. Zwerger +1
A quantum theory of cooling of a mechanical oscillator by radiation pressure-induced dynamical back-action is developed, which is analogous to sideband cooling of trapped ions. We…
All-optical non-demolition measurement of single-hole spin in a quantum-dot molecule
F. Troiani, I. Wilson-Rae, C. Tejedor
We propose an all-optical scheme to perform a non-demolition measurement of a single hole spin localized in a quantum-dot molecule. The latter is embedded in a microcavity and driv…
Laser cooling of a nanomechanical resonator mode to its quantum ground state
I. Wilson-Rae, P. Zoller, A. Imamoglu
We show that it is possible to cool a nanomechanical resonator mode to its ground state. The proposed technique is based on resonant laser excitation of a phonon sideband of an emb…
