Abstract: An atomic object confined in a particular region of an atomic object confinement apparatus is cooled using an S-to-P-to-D EIT cooling operation. A controller associated with the atomic object confinement apparatus controls first and second manipulation sources to respectively provide first and second manipulation signals to the particular region. The first manipulation signal is characterized by a first wavelength corresponding to a transition between an S manifold and a P manifold of a first component of the atomic object and detuned from the S-to-P transition by a first detuning. The second manipulation signal is characterized by a second wavelength corresponding to a transition between the P manifold and a D manifold of the first component and detuned from the P-to-D transition by a second detuning. The first and second detunings selected to establish a dark state associated with a two-photon transition between the S manifold and the D manifold.

Abstract: A method for laser cooling an object crystal comprising at least two atomic objects and confined by a confinement apparatus is provided. A controller controls one or more manipulation sources to cause a first instance of manipulation signals to be incident on the object crystal at a target location defined at least in part by the confinement apparatus. The manipulation signals are configured to laser cool a first motional mode of the object crystal. The controller causes an adiabatic transfer of phonons from a second motional mode of the object crystal to the first motional mode of the object crystal. The controller controls the one or more manipulation sources to cause a second instance of the manipulation signals to be incident on the object crystal at the target location. The manipulation signals are configured to laser cool the first motional mode of the object crystal.
