Journal ArticleDOI
Theory of ground state cooling of a mechanical oscillator using dynamical backaction.
TL;DR: A quantum theory of cooling of a mechanical oscillator by radiation pressure-induced dynamical backaction is developed, which is analogous to sideband cooling of trapped ions, and it is shown that the final average occupancy can be retrieved directly from the optical output spectrum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear damping in mechanical resonators made from carbon nanotubes and graphene
TL;DR: The damping of mechanical resonators based on carbon nanotubes and graphene sheets is found to strongly depend on the amplitude of motion, and can be described by a nonlinear rather than a linear damping force.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laser Cooling of a Nanomechanical Resonator Mode to its Quantum Ground State
TL;DR: It is shown that it is possible to cool a nanomechanical resonator mode to its ground state through resonant laser excitation of a phonon sideband of an embedded quantum dot.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parametric Normal-Mode Splitting in Cavity Optomechanics
TL;DR: It is found that a hybridization of the oscillator's motion with the fluctuations of the driving field occurs and leads to a splitting of the mechanical and optical fluctuation spectra, and that cooling experiences a classical limitation through the cavity lifetime.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phonon-tunnelling dissipation in mechanical resonators
TL;DR: An efficient numerical solver, based on the 'phonon-tunnelling' approach, capable of predicting the design-limited damping of high-quality mechanical resonators, is introduced, representing a major step towards accurate prediction of the mechanical quality factor.
