• Authors: Jin-Yu Liu, Wenjing Liu, Da Xu, Jia-Chen Shi, Qihuang Gong, Yun-Feng Xiao
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: We propose a general and experimentally feasible approach to realize simultaneous ground-state cooling of arbitrary number of near-degenerate, or even fully degenerate mechanical modes, overcoming the limit imposed by the formation of mechanical dark modes. Multiple optical modes are employed to provide different dissipation channels that prevent complete destructive interference of the cooling pathway, and thus eliminating the dark modes. The cooling rate and limit are explicitly specified, in which the distinguishability of the optical modes to the mechanical modes is found to be critical for an efficient cooling process. In a realistic multi-mode optomechanical system, ground-state cooling of all mechanical modes is demonstrated by sequentially introducing optical drives, proving the feasibility and scalability of the proposed scheme. The work may provide new insights in preparing and manipulating multiple quantum states in macroscopic systems.

  We study theoretically an array of two-level qubits moving relative to a one-dimensional waveguide. When the frequency of this motion approaches twice the qubit resonance frequency, it induces parametric generation of photons and excitation of the qubits. We develop a comprehensive general theoretical framework that incorporates both perturbative diagrammatic techniques and a rigorous master-equation approach.

We reproduce these dynamics by a quantum mean field model, suggesting that subradiance shares characteristics with quasi-stationary states predicted in other long-range interacting systems.

  We propose a new compensatory cooling mechanism for Brillouin scattering optomechanical system with exceptional points (EPs) By using the EPs both in optical and mechanical modes, the limited cooling process is compensated effectively.
