All-optical sub-Kelvin sympathetic cooling of a levitated microsphere in vacuum

Optics 2022-10-05 v1

Abstract

We demonstrate all-optical sympathetic cooling of a laser-trapped microsphere to sub-Kelvin temperatures, mediate by optical binding to a feedback-cooled adjacent particle. Our study opens prospects for multi-particle quantum entanglement and sensing in levitated optomechanics.
