Theory of phase-adaptive parametric cooling

Quantum Physics 2023-06-14 v1

Abstract

We propose an adaptive phase technique for the parametric cooling of mechanical resonances. This involves the detection of the mechanical quadratures, followed by a sequence of periodic controllable adjustments of the phase of a parametric modulation. The technique allows the preparation of the quantum ground state with an exponential loss of thermal energy, similarly to the case of cold-damping or cavity self-cooling. Analytical derivations are presented for the cooling rate and final occupancies both in the classical and quantum regimes.
