Quality factor (Q) is an important property of micro-and nano-electromechanical (MEM/NEM) resonators that underlie timing references, frequency sources, atomic force microscopes …
All quantum optomechanics experiments to date operate at cryogenic temperatures, imposing severe technical challenges and fundamental constraints. Here, we present a …
We optically trap a single nanoparticle in high vacuum and cool its three spatial degrees of freedom by means of active parametric feedback. Using a single laser beam for both …
