• Abstract: We propose and analyze a microscopic Stirling heat engine based on an optomechanical system. The working fluid is a single vibrational mode of a mechanical resonator, which interacts by radiation pressure with a feedback-controlled optical cavity. The cavity light is used to engineer the thermal reservoirs and to steer the resonator through a thermodynamic cycle. In particular, the feedback is used to properly modulate the light fluctuations inside the cavity and hence to realize efficient thermodynamic transformations with realistic optomechanical devices.

  We propose a general and experimentally feasible approach to realize simultaneous ground-state cooling of arbitrary number of near-degenerate mechanical modes. Multiple optical modes are employed to provide different dissipation channels that prevent complete destructive interference of the cooling pathway. In a realistic multi-mode optomechanical system, ground-state cooling of all mechanical modes is demonstrated by sequentially introducing optical drives.
