Cooling of mechanical motion with a two-level system: The high-temperature regime

Cooling of mechanical motion with a two-level system: The high-temperature regime

We analyze cooling of a nanomechanical resonator coupled to a dissipative solid-state two-level system focusing on the regime of high initial temperatures. We derive an effective Fokker-Planck equation for the mechanical mode which accounts for saturation and other nonlinear effects and allows us to study the cooling dynamics of the …
