Abstract

We analyze the optical bistability and the entanglement of two movable mirrors coupled to a two-mode laser in a doubly resonant cavity. We show that in stark contrast to the usual red-detuned condition for observing bistability in single-mode optomechanics, the optical intensities exhibit bistability for all values of cavity laser detuning due to intermode coupling induced by two-photon atomic coherence. Interestingly, an unconventional bistability with “ribbon”-shaped hysteresis can be observed for a certain range of cavity laser detuning. We also demonstrate that the atomic coherence leads to a strong entanglement between the movable mirrors in the adiabatic regime. Surprisingly, the mirror–mirror entanglement is shown to persist for environment temperatures of the phonon bath up to 12 K using experimental parameters.

Cavity-induced mirror-mirror entanglement in a single-atom Raman laser

Berihu Teklu, Tim Byrnes, Faisal Shah Khan

We address an experimental scheme to analyze the optical bistability and the entanglement of two movable mirrors coupled to a two-mode laser inside a doubly resonant cavity. With this aim we investigate the master equations of the atom-cavity subsystem in conjunction with the quantum Langevin equations that describe the interaction of the mirror cavity. The parametric amplification-type coupling induced by the two-photon coherence on the optical bistability of the intracavity mean photon numbers is found and investigated. Under this condition, the optical intensities exhibit bistability for all large values of cavity laser detuning. We also provide numerical evidence for the generation of strong entanglement between the movable mirrors and show that it is robust against environmental thermalization.

Entanglements in a coupled cavity–array with one oscillating end-mirror

Qin Wu, Yin Xiao, Zhi‐Ming Zhang

We theoretically investigate the entanglement properties in a hybrid system consisting of an optical cavity–array coupled to a mechanical resonator. We show that the steady state of the system presents bipartite continuous variable entanglement in an experimentally accessible parameter regime. The effects of the cavity–cavity coupling strength on the bipartite entanglements in the field–mirror subsystem and in the field–field subsystem are studied. We further find that the entanglement between the adjacent cavity and the movable mirror can be entirely transferred to the distant cavity and mirror by properly choosing the cavity detunings and the coupling strength in the two-cavity case. Surprisingly, such a remote macroscopic entanglement tends to be stable in the large coupling regime and persists for environment temperatures at above 25 K in the three-cavity case. Such optomechanical systems can be used for the realization of continuous variable quantum information interfaces and networks.

Controlling the entanglement of mechanical oscillators in composite optomechanical system

Jun Zhang, Qing-Xia Mu, Wen-Zhao Zhang

A controllable entanglement scheme of two mechanical oscillators is proposed in a composite optomechanical system. In the case of strong driving and high dissipation, the dynamics of the movable mirror of the optomechanical cavity is characterized by an effective frequency in the long-time evolution of the system. Considering the classical nonlinear effects in an optomechanical system, we investigate the relationship between the effective frequency of the movable mirror and the adjustable parameters of the cavity. It shows that the effective frequency of the movable mirror can be adjusted ranging from ω m (the resonance frequency of the coupling oscillator) to − ω m . Under the condition of experimental realization, we can generate and control steady-state entanglement between two oscillators by adjusting the effective frequency of the movable mirror and reducing the effective dissipation by selecting the parameter of the cavity driving laser appropriately. Our scheme provides a promising platform to control the steady-state behavior of solid-state qubits using classical manipulation, which is significant for quantum information processing and fundamental research.

Route to ponderomotive entanglement of light via optically trapped mirrors

Christopher C. Wipf, T. R. Corbitt, Yanbei Chen +1 more

The radiation pressure of two laser beams detuned from resonance in an optical cavity can create a stable optical trap for a mechanical oscillation mode of a movable cavity mirror. Here it is shown that such a configuration entangles the output light fields via interaction with a mirror that is suspended as a pendulum. The degree of entanglement is quantified spectrally using the logarithmic negativity, and related to the available optical restoring force. Entanglement survives in the experimentally accessible regime of gram-scale masses subject to thermal noise at room temperature.

Dispersive interaction of a Bose-Einstein condensate with a movable mirror of an optomechanical cavity in the presence of laser phase noise

Ali Dalafi, M. H. Naderi

We theoretically investigate the dispersive interaction of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) trapped inside an optomechanical cavity with a moving end mirror in the presence of the laser phase noise (LPN) as well as the atomic collisions. We assume that the effective frequency of the optical mode is much greater than those of the mechanical and the Bogoliubov modes of the movable mirror and the BEC. In the adiabatic approximation where the damping rate of the cavity is faster than those of the other modes, the system behaves as an effective two-mode model in which the atomic and mechanical modes are coupled to each other through the mediation of the optical field by an effective coupling parameter. We show that in the effective two-mode model, the LPN appears as a classical stochastic pump term which drives the amplitude quadratures of the mechanical and the Bogoliubov modes. It is also shown that a strong stationary mirror-atom entanglement can be established just in the dispersive and Doppler regimes where the two modes come into resonance with each other and the effect of the LPN gets very small.

Entanglement of movable mirrors in a correlated-emission laser

Wenchao Ge, M. Al-Amri, Hyunchul Nha +1 more

We propose an experimental scheme for entangling two macroscopic mechanical resonators (movable mirrors) by their coupling to the two-mode fields of a correlated-emission laser inside a doubly resonant cavity. With this aim we investigate the quantum Langevin equations that describe the interaction of the field-mirror system in conjuction with the master equation of the correlated-emission laser. We show that the steady-state entanglement of two mirrors as well as that of two-mode fields can be obtained in the regime of strong field-mirror coupling when the input lasers are scattered at the anti-Stokes sidebands. Remarkably, the degree of entanglement for both the mirror pair and the field pair can be controlled by an external field driving the gain medium. Our scheme is able to entangle two macroscopic objects with current state-of-the-art experimental apparatus.
