• Abstract summary: Quantum control of a system requires the manipulation of quantum states faster than any decoherence rate. For mesoscopic systems, this has so far only been reached by few cryogenic systems. We demonstrate the strong coupling regime at room temperature between a levitated silica particle and a high finesse optical cavity.

• Abstract: Quantum control of a system requires the manipulation of quantum states faster than any decoherence rate. For mesoscopic systems, this has so far only been reached by few cryogenic systems. An important milestone towards quantum control is the so-called strong coupling regime, which in cavity optomechanics corresponds to an optomechanical coupling strength larger than cavity decay rate and mechanical damping. Here, we demonstrate the strong coupling regime at room temperature between a levitated silica particle and a high finesse optical cavity. Normal mode splitting is achieved by employing coherent scattering, instead of directly driving the cavity. The coupling strength achieved here approaches three times the cavity linewidth, crossing deep into the strong coupling regime. Entering the strong coupling regime is an essential step towards quantum control with mesoscopic objects at room temperature.

  We propose a novel and experimentally feasible approach to achieve high-efficiency ground-state cooling of a mechanical oscillator in an optomechanical system. The quantum interference effect generated by intracavity squeezing and extracavity squeezing can completely suppress the non-resonant Stokes heating process. Compared with other traditional optomechanical cooling schemes, the single-photon cooling rate in this joint-squeezing scheme can be tremendously enlarged by nearly three orders of magnitude.

New insights on the underlying physical decoherence mechanisms reveals a limit in temperature until which coherent driving of the system is possible.
