We propose an optomechanically-induced-transparency cooling scheme to achieve ground state cooling of mechanical motion without the resolved sideband condition in a pure optomechanical system with two mechanical modes coupled to the same optical cavity mode. We show that ground state cooling is achievable for sideband resolution $\\omega_{m}/\\kappa$ as low as 0.003. This provides a new route for quantum manipulation of massive macroscopic devices and high-precision measurements.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-04-17T12:59:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum ground state", "massive mechanical resonators", "pure optomechanical system", "optomechanically-induced-transparency cooling scheme", "massive mechanical objects remains" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Springer", "journal": "Science China Physics, Mechanics, and Astronomy", "year": 2015, "month": "May", "volume": 58, "pages": 5635 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015SCPMA..58e5635L", "inspire": 1361976 } } }
