Abstract

We propose a scheme able to entangle at the steady state a nanomechanical resonator with a microwave cavity mode of a driven superconducting coplanar waveguide. The nanomechanical resonator is capacitively coupled with the central conductor of the waveguide and stationary entanglement is achievable up to temperatures of tens of milliKelvin.

A Scheme to Entangle Nanomechanical Resonators and Microwave Cavities

A scheme able to entangle at the steady state a nanomechanical resonator with a microwave cavity mode of a driven superconducting coplanar waveguide is proposed. The nanomechanical resonator is capacitively coupled with the central conductor of the waveguide and stationary entanglement is achievable up to temperatures of tens of milliKelvin. Although not easy to reach experimentally it would provide a viable way to entangling many nano resonators via a common cavity field.

Parametric coupling between a nanomechanical resonator and a superconducting microwave cavity

Cheng Jiang, Jinjin Li, Wei Jian He +1 more

We theoretically study a driven nanomechanical resonator capacitively coupled to a superconducting microwave cavity and present a feasible way to measure the coupling strength between them in terms of the coupling-induced normal-mode splitting. The probe spectrum exhibits two sharp sideband peaks exactly located at the resonance frequency of the nanomechanical resonator, which provides us an exact way to determine the resonance frequency of the nanomechanical resonator. Our results may have a variety of potential applications such as quantum transducer and quantum information processing.

Enhanced electromechanical coupling of a nanomechanical resonator to coupled superconducting cavities

Fuli Li, Hongrong Li, Fuli Li

We investigate the electromechanical coupling between a nanomechanical resonator and two parametrically coupled superconducting coplanar waveguide cavities that are driven by a two-mode squeezed microwave source. We show that, with the selective coupling of the resonator to the cavity Bogoliubov modes, the radiation-pressure type coupling can be greatly enhanced by several orders of magnitude, enabling the single photon strong coupling to be reached. This allows the investigation of a number of interesting phenomena such as photon blockade effects and the generation of nonclassical quantum states with electromechanical systems.

Entangling optical and microwave cavity modes by means of a nanomechanical resonator

Sh. Barzanjeh, David Vitali, Paolo Tombesi +1 more

We propose a scheme that is able to generate stationary continuous-variable entanglement between an optical and a microwave cavity mode by means of their common interaction with a nanomechanical resonator. We show that when both cavities are intensely driven, one can generate bipartite entanglement between any pair of the tripartite system, and that, due to entanglement sharing, optical-microwave entanglement is efficiently generated at the expense of microwave-mechanical and optomechanical entanglement.

Probing the quantum coherence of a nanomechanical resonator using a superconducting qubit: II. Implementation

M. P. Blencowe, Andrew D. Armour

We describe a possible implementation of the nanomechanical quantum superposition generation and detection scheme described in the preceding, companion paper (Armour A D and Blencowe M P 2008 New. J. Phys. 10 095004). The implementation is based on the circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED) set-up, with the addition of a mechanical degree of freedom formed out of a suspended, doubly-clamped segment of the superconducting loop of a dc SQUID located directly opposite the centre conductor of a coplanar waveguide (CPW). The relative merits of two SQUID based qubit realizations are addressed, in particular a capacitively coupled charge qubit and inductively coupled flux qubit. It is found that both realizations are equally promising, with comparable qubit–mechanical resonator mode as well as qubit–microwave resonator mode coupling strengths.
