Sideband cooling of micromechanical motion to the quantum ground state

Micromechanical motion grounded It has been a long-standing goal in the field of cavity optomechanics to cool down a mechanical resonator to its motional quantum ground state by using light. Teufel et al . have now achieved just that with a recently developed system in which a drum-like flexible alu...
