• Authors: Chang Hoong Chow, Boon Long Ng, Vindhiya Prakash, Christian Kurtsiefer
• Abstract summary: EIT can be used to cool an atom in a harmonic potential close to the ground state by addressing several vibrational modes simultaneously. A final temperature of around 6 $mu$K is achieved with EIT cooling, a factor of two lower than the previous value obtained using olarization gradient cooling.

• Abstract: Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) can be used to cool an atom in a harmonic potential close to the ground state by addressing several vibrational modes simultaneously. Previous experimental efforts focus on trapped ions and neutral atoms in a standing wave trap. In this work, we demonstrate EIT cooling of an optically trapped single neutral atom, where the trap frequencies are an order of magnitude smaller than in an ion trap and a standing wave trap. We resolve the Fano resonance feature in fluorescence excitation spectra and the corresponding cooling profile in temperature measurements. A final temperature of around 6 $\mu$K is achieved with EIT cooling, a factor of two lower than the previous value obtained using olarization gradient cooling.

  We experimentally demonstrate how to generate a state in condensed matter at moderate cryogenic temperatures. This state is then used to efficiently remove microwave photons from a cavity. Such an "anti-maser" device could be extremely beneficial for applications that would normally require cooling to millikelvin temperatures.

  We experimentally demonstrate a parallel-electromagnetically-induced transparency (parallel-EIT) cooling technique for ion crystals in the Paul trap. It has less stringent requirements on the cooling resonance condition than the standard electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT) cooling. A proof-of-principle validation for this cooling scheme is experimentally demonstrated with up to 4 trapped 40Ca+ ions.

• Prospects for single photon sideband cooling of optically trapped neutral atoms [0.0]
  We propose a novel cooling scheme for realising single photon sideband cooling on particles trapped in a state-dependent optical potential. We develop a master rate equation from an ab-initio model and find that it is possible to drastically reduce the average occupation number of the vibrational levels. Our findings provide an alternative cooling scheme that can be applied in principle to any particle.

  We introduce a novel algorithmic cooling protocol for transferring phonons from poorly- to efficiently-cooled modes. We demonstrate it experimentally by simultaneously bringing two motional modes of a Be$+$-Ar$13+$ mixed Coulomb crystal close to their zero-point energies. We reach the lowest temperature reported for a highly charged ion, with a residual temperature of only $Tlesssim200mathrmmu K$ in each of the two modes.

  We investigate the normal mode spectrum of a trapped ion chain at the symmetry-breaking linear to zigzag transition and at finite temperatures. The expected mode softening at the critical point, a signature of the second-order transition, is not observed. Our study could prove important for implementing ground-state laser cooling close to the critical point.

  Quantum emitters in hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) were recently reported to hol a homogeneous linewidth according to the Fourier-Transform limit up to room temperature. This unusual observation was traced back to decoupling from in-plane phonon modes which can arise if the emitter is located between two planes of the hBN host material.
