We report on cooling the center-of-mass motion of a nanoparticle via its interaction with a high finesse cavity. We exploit a hybrid trapping potential obtained by overlapping an electrodynamic potential and an optical standing wave. The coupling can be purely quadratic in displacement and gives rise to a Van der Pol nonlinear damping analogous to parametric feedback. The nanoparticle motion can be cooled by more than two orders of magnitude, and we experimentally demonstrate that the resulting energy distribution is strongly nonthermal. We will also present our initial results on 2D cooling of a tweezer-levitated nanoparticle exploiting coherent scattering.
