• Abstract: We analyze the cooling of a mechanical resonator coupled to an ensemble of interacting two-level systems via an open quantum systems approach. Using an exact analytical result, we find optimal cooling occurs when the phonon mode is critically coupled ($\gamma \sim g$) to the two-level system ensemble. Typical systems operate in sub-optimal cooling regimes due to the intrinsic parameter mismatch ($\gamma \gg g$) between the dissipative decay rate $\gamma$ and the coupling factor $g$. To overcome this obstacle, we show that carefully engineering the coupling parameters through the strain profile of the mechanical resonator allows phonon cooling to proceed through the dark (subradiant) entangled states of an \emph{interacting} ensemble, thereby resulting in optimal phonon cooling. Our results provide a new avenue for ground-state cooling and should be accessible for experimental demonstrations.

  An effective Lindblad master equation for quantum systems with dissipative bosonic modes has been introduced. Here, we demonstrate that this effective master equation can also be used to describe cooling in systems with light-matter interactions. In addition, we present how the effective master equation can be extended to the case of non-vanishing mean thermal occupations of the bosonic mode.

• Measurement-based cooling of a nonlinear mechanical resonator [0.0]
  We propose two measurement-based schemes to cool a nonlinear mechanical resonator down to energies close to that of its ground state. The protocols rely on projective measurements of a spin degree of freedom, which interacts with the resonator through a Jaynes-Cummings interaction. We show the performance of these cooling schemes, that can be either -- i.e. built by repeating a sequence of dynamical evolutions followed by projective measurements -- or single-shot.

  We explore a prototype of an oscillatory neural network (ONN) based on vanadium dioxide switching devices.

In the case of a strong thermal coupling, the limit of the supply current parameters, for which the oscillations exist, expands by 10 %. The effect of subharmonic synchronization hold promise for application in classification and pattern recognition.
