Entangling nanomechanical oscillators in a ring cavity by feeding squeezed light

Sumei Huang, G. S. Agarwal

A scheme is presented for entangling two separated nanomechanical oscillators by injecting broad band squeezed vacuum light and laser light into the ring cavity. We work in the resolved sideband regime. We find that in order to obtain the maximum entanglement of the two oscillators, the squeezing parameter of the input light should be about 1. We report significant entanglement over a very wide range of power levels of the pump and temperatures of the environment.

Numerical study of energy loss by a nanomechanical oscillator coupled to a Cooper-pair box

Rakesh P. Tiwari, D. Stroud

We calculate the dynamics of a nanomechanical oscillator (NMO) coupled capacitively to a Cooper-pair box (CPB) by solving a stochastic Schr\"odinger equation with two Lindblad operators [Commun. Math. Phys. 48, 119 (1976).]. Both the NMO and the CPB are assumed dissipative, and the coupling is treated within the rotating wave approximation. We show numerically that, if the CPB decay time is smaller than the NMO decay time, the coupled NMO will lose energy faster and the coupled CPB more slowly than the uncoupled NMO and CPB do. The results show that the efficiency of energy loss by an NMO can be substantially increased if the NMO is coupled to a CPB.

Ground state cooling of a nanomechanical resonator via parametric linear coupling

Lin Tian

We present a cooling mechanism for a nanomechanical resonator that linearly couples with a LC oscillator. The linear coupling, when periodically modulated at red detuning, up-converts the low-frequency nanomechanical quanta to the high-frequency LC oscillator quanta which then dissipates in the circuits via the damping of the LC oscillator. We show that realistic circuit can be designed in the superconducting system to implement this scheme in the resolved-sideband regime and reach the quantum ground state of the nanomechanical mode. A detailed study of the origin of the quantum back-action noise in this cooling process is also presented.
