The Evolution of Squeezing in Coupled Macroscopic Mechanical Oscillator Systems

Xin-Chang Liu, Xiao-Dong Shi, Xiao-Lei Zhang +2 more

Quantum squeezing in macroscopic oscillator systems plays a critical role in bridging quantum mechanics with classical-scale phenomena, enabling high-precision measurements and fundamental tests of quantum physics. In this work, we investigate the effect of squeezing on the phonon state in a hybrid macroscopic mechanical system consisting of an ensemble of Rydberg atoms coupled to two macroscopic mechanical oscillators. We notice that the dipole–dipole coupling between atoms and mechanical oscillators can be transferred to the indirectly coupled mechanical interaction, and the nonlinear effective Hamiltonian can be solved to generate a squeezed effect on the mechanical mode. We also discuss the noise effects induced by amplitude and phase fluctuations on the squeezed quadratures of the system.

Production of squeezed states for macroscopic mechanical oscillator

Victor V. Kulagin

The possibility of squeezed states generation for macroscopic mechanical oscillator is discussed. It is shown that one can obtain mechanical oscillator in squeezed state via coupling it to electromagnetic oscillator (Fabry-Perot resonator) and pumping this Fabry-Perot resonator with a field in squeezed state. The degradation of squeezing due to mechanical and optical losses is also analyzed.

Macroscopic quantum coherence and mechanical squeezing of a graphene sheet

Xiyun Li, Wenjie Nie, Aixi Chen +1 more

We theoretically investigate the macroscopic quantum coherence and the mechanical squeezing of a mechanical oscillator in a hybrid optomechanical system consisting of a suspended graphene sheet and an ultracold atomic ensemble trapped inside a Fabry-P\'erot cavity. In the study the vacuum is used to mediate an effective optomechanical coupling between the graphene oscillator and the cavity field driven by an external laser beam. We find that in the presence of this coupling, the macroscopic quantum coherence and the mechanical squeezing of the graphene sheet can be attained in a certain range of driving power. In particular, the quantum coherence in the optomechanical system can be transferred from the optical field to the mechanical oscillator. We also investigate in detail the spectrum and the squeezing of the output field and the attained results may be used to study the mechanical squeezing of a graphene sheet.
