Abstract

In a hybrid scheme, consisting of a three-level atom-cavity-oscillator system, we show that synchronization [J. Czartowski, R. M\"uller, K. \ifmmode \dot{Z}\else \.{Z}\fi{}yczkowski, and D. Braun, Phys. Rev. A 104, 012410 (2021)] and transfer of nonclassical states between the mechanical oscillator and the cavity field is possible. In this framework, we show that an initially thermalized mechanical oscillator, when connected to a squeezed bath, evolves to a squeezed state which in steady state is synchronized with the cavity mode. On the other hand, if the mechanical oscillator is initially prepared in a nonclassical state, e.g., squeezed and Schr\"odinger's cat states, while the cavity is in a thermal state, then a periodic transfer between the mechanical oscillator and cavity mode occurs for given interaction times. As qualitative results, we prove that the synchronization and transfer of the quantum states are feasible with high fidelity.

Transfer of Quantum States and Stationary Quantum Correlations in a Hybrid Optomechanical Network

Hugo Molinares, Bing He, Vitalie Eremeev

We present a systematic study on the effects of dynamical transfer and steady-state synchronization of quantum states in a hybrid optomechanical network consisting of two cavities, which carry atoms inside and interact via a common moving mirror such as the mechanical oscillator. It is found that a high fidelity transfer of Schrödinger’s cat and squeezed states between two cavities modes is possible. On the other hand, we demonstrate the synchronization effect of the cavity modes in a steady squeezed state with its high fidelity realized by the mechanical oscillator that intermediates the generation, transfer and stabilization of the squeezing. In this framework, we also study the generation and evolution of bipartite and tripartite entanglement and find its connection to the effects of quantum state transfer and synchronization. Particularly, when the transfer occurs at the maximal fidelity, any entanglement is almost zero, so the different cavity modes are disentangled. However, these modes become entangled when the two bosonic modes are synchronized in a stationary squeezed state. The results provided by the current study may find applications in quantum information technologies, in addition to the setups for metrology, where squeezed states are essential.

Atomic quadrature squeezing and quantum state transfer in a hybrid atom–optomechanical cavity with two Duffing mechanical oscillators

Farzaneh Momeni, M. H. Naderi

In this paper, we investigate theoretically the quantum state transfer in a laser-driven hybrid optomechanical cavity with two Duffing-like anharmonic movable end mirrors containing an ensemble of identical two-level trapped atoms. The quantum state transfer from the Bogoliubov modes of the two anharmonic oscillators to the atomic mode results in the atomic quadrature squeezing beyond the standard quantum limit of 3 dB, which can be controlled by both the optomechanical and atom-field coupling strengths. Interestingly, the generated atomic squeezing can be made robust against the noise sources by means of the Duffing anharmonicity. Moreover, the results reveal that the presence of the Duffing anharmonicity provides the possibility of transferring strongly squeezed states between the two mechanical oscillators in a short operating time and with high fidelity.

Generation of the mechanical Schrödinger cat state in a hybrid atom-optomechanical system

Najmeh Etehadi Abari, M. H. Naderi

In this paper, we propose a new theoretical scheme for generating a macroscopic Schrödinger cat state of a mechanical oscillator in a hybrid optomechanical system where a beam of two-level atoms passes through the cavity. In the model under consideration, the cavity field couples to the macroscopic mirror through the optomechanical interaction while it couples to the atom through a generalized Jaynes–Cummings interaction that involves the cavity-mode structure. The motion of the mirror modifies the cavity-mode function and therefore modulates the atom-field interaction, leading to the three-mode atom-field-mirror coupling or, equivalently, polariton-mirror coupling in a dressed picture. This interaction induces a controllable anharmonicity in the energy spectrum of the mechanical oscillator, which provides the possibility of generating a superposition of two time-dependent coherent states of the mechanical oscillator just by performing a conditional measurement on the internal states of the atoms exiting the optomechanical cavity. We also investigate the tripartite atom-field-mirror entanglement, which is controllable by adjusting the parameters of the system. In addition, we explore the effects of the mechanical dissipation and thermal noise on the tripartite quantum correlation in the system as well as the generated mechanical superposition state.

Quantum State Transfer between a Mechanical Oscillator and a Distant Moving Atom

Fu Zhang, Yanqing Guo, Guangyao Yang +1 more

We propose a scheme for high fidelity quantum state transfer from a mechanical oscillator to a distant moving atom. In the scheme, two optical cavities connected by an optical fiber are interacted effectively through adiabatically eliminating fiber mode under large detuning limit. The quantum state transfer fidelity can be raised asymptotically to 100% by optimizing the Gaussian pulse G(t), the maximum atom-cavity coupling strength Ωmax, and the atomic velocity v. We also show that the affect of dissipation can be obviously depressed by synchronously increasing Ωmax and v.

State Transfer of Two Mechanical Oscillators in Coupled Cavity Optomechanical System

Xiao Rui-ji

This paper investigates a coupled cavity optomechanical system consisting of two Fabry-Perot cavities and the two cavities are coupled via an optical fiber.Every cavity is made of one fixed mirror and a movable mirror,and the movable mirror can be regarded as a mechanical oscillators.Meanwhile,the two cavity modes are driven by classical laser fields.So,the interaction is inevitable between cavities,cavity and moving mirror,cavity and classical field.Firstly,in order to eliminate the two cavity fields,an effective Hamiltonian of the two phonon modes is derived by means of picture transformation,adiabatic eliminating,and rotating wave approximation ignoring the high frequency items,etc.Secondly,if the two mechanical oscillators initially are in coherent states,the coupled mechanical oscillators can be used to transmit state.Finally,in order to verify the analytical result,the fidelity of quantum state is numevically simulated,the result shows that the quantum state can be transferred periodically between the two mechanical oscillators,which is the same as the analytical result.
