Achieving steady-state entanglement of remote micromechanical oscillators by cascaded cavity coupling

Huatang Tan, Lukas F. Buchmann, Hyojun Seok +1 more

In this paper, we propose a scheme for generating steady-state entanglement of remote micromechanical oscillators in unidirectionally coupled cavities. For the system of two mechanical oscillators, we show that when two cavity modes in each cavity are driven at red- and blue-detuned sidebands, respectively, a stationary two-mode squeezed vacuum state of the two mechanical oscillators can be generated by the cascaded cavity coupling. The degree of squeezing is controllable by adjusting the relative strength of the pump lasers. Our calculations also show that the achieved mechanical entanglement is robust against thermal fluctuations. For the case of multiple mechanical oscillators, we find that steady-state genuine multipartite entanglement can also be built up among the remote mechanical oscillators. The present scheme does not require nonclassical light input or conditional quantum measurements, and it can be realized with current experimental technology.

Proposal for Entangling Remote Micromechanical Oscillators via Optical Measurements

Kjetil Børkje, Andreas Nunnenkamp, S. M. Girvin

We propose an experiment to create and verify entanglement between remote mechanical objects by use of an optomechanical interferometer. Two optical cavities, each coupled to a separate mechanical oscillator, are coherently driven such that the oscillators are laser cooled to the quantum regime. The entanglement is induced by optical measurement and comes about by combining the output from the two cavities to erase which-path information. It can be verified through measurements of degrees of second-order coherence of the optical output field. The experiment is feasible in the regime of weak optomechanical coupling. Realistic parameters for the membrane-in-the-middle geometry suggest entangled state lifetimes on the order of milliseconds.
