Wepresent a robust and fast laser cooling scheme suitable fortrapped ions, atoms, or cantilevers. Based on quantum interference, generatedby a special laser configuration, it is able to rapidlycool the system such that the final phonon occupation vanishesto zeroth order in the Lamb-Dicke parameter in contrast toexisting cooling schemes. Furthermore, it is robust under conditions offluctuating laser intensity and frequency, thus making it a viablecandidate for experimental applications. ©2010 The American Physical Society
