Resumo

We implement an all-electrical controller for 3D feedback cooling of an optically levitated nanoparticle capable of reaching subkelvin temperatures for the center-of-mass motion. The controller is based on an optimal policy in which state estimation is made by delayed position measurements. The method offers a simplified path for precooling and decoupling the transverse degrees of freedom of the nanoparticle. Numerical simulations show that in an improved setup with quantum limited detection, all three axes can be cooled down to a few-phonon regime. (AU)
