We discuss how the optomechanical coupling provided by radiation pressure can be used to cool macroscopic collective degrees of freedom, as vibrational modes of movable mirrors. Cooling is achieved using a phase-sensitive feedback-loop…
We show that the vibrations of an ion Coulomb crystal can be cooled to the zero-point motion through the optomechanical coupling with a high-finesse cavity. Cooling results from the interplay between coherent scattering of cavity photons by…

Cooling the center-of-mass (CM) motion of a macroscopic oscillator to its quantum ground state is a fundamental prerequisite for testing quantum mechanics at macroscopic scales. However, achieving this goal is currently hindered by the…
We utilize the dark state in a {\Lambda}-type three-level system to cool an ensemble of 85Rb atoms in an optical lattice [Morigi et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 4458 (2000)]. The common suppression of the carrier transition of atoms with…
Photonic resonance modes can be spectrally coupled to the vibrational modes of molecules in the mid-infrared regime through interactions between localized electric fields and nearby molecules. According to recent studies, radiative loss…
We study the effect of cavity damping asymmetries on backaction in a "membrane-in-the-middle" optomechanical system, where a mechanical mode modulates the coupling between two photonic modes. We show that in the adiabatic limit, this system…
For cavity-assisted optomechanical cooling experiments, it has been shown in the literature that the cavity bandwidth needs to be smaller than the mechanical frequency in order to achieve the quantum ground state of the mechanical…
Cavity optomechanics offers quantum cooling, quantum control and measurement of small mechanical oscillators. However the optical backactions that underpin quantum control can significantly disturb the oscillator modes: mechanical…

We consider a wide family of optical coherent feedback loops acting on an optomechanical system operating in the linearized regime. We assess the efficacy of such loops in improving key operations, such as cooling, steady-state squeezing…
Sympathetic cooling with ultracold atoms and atomic ions enables ultralow temperatures in systems where direct laser or evaporative cooling is not possible. It has so far been limited to the cooling of other microscopic particles, with…
The motional sideband asymmetry of a mechanical oscillator interacting with a laser field can be observed when approaching the quantum ground state, where the zero-point energy of the mechanical oscillator becomes a sizable contribution to…

Simultaneous ground-state cooling of multiple degenerate mechanical modes is a tough issue in optomechanical system due to the existence of the dark mode effect. Here we propose a universal and scalable method to break the dark mode effect…
