Minimum-Time Cavity Optomechanical Cooling

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

Optomechanical cooling is a prerequisite for many exotic applications promised by modern quantum technology and it is crucial to achieve it in short times, in order to minimize the undesirable effects of the environment. We formulate cavity optomechanical cooling as a minimum-time optimal control problem on anti-de Sitter space of appropriate dimension and use the Legendre pseudospectral optimization method to find the minimum time and the corresponding optimal control, for various values of the maximum coupling rate between the cavity field and the mechanical resonator. The present framework can also be applied to create optomechanical entanglement in minimum time and to improve the efficiency of an optomechanical quantum heat engine.
