Optomechanics-based quantum memory architectures [Invited]

Hassana Kokab, Farhan Saif

Optomechanics has progressed rapidly alongside advances in quantum technologies over the past decade. This paper presents a systematic review of optomechanical systems for the implementation of efficient quantum memory architectures. We emphasize the crucial role of optomechanical coupling in enhancing quantum memory efficiency, which was previously far below 100% in the cavity quantum electrodynamics regime. The theoretical framework is based on optomechanically induced transparency and quantum coherence functions, and the parameters considered are experimentally feasible within state-of-the-art optoelectronics and photonics laboratories.

Optomechanics for quantum technologies

Shabir Barzanjeh, André Xuereb, Simon Gröblacher +3 more

The ability to control the motion of mechanical systems through interaction with light has opened the door to a plethora of applications in fundamental and applied physics. With experiments routinely reaching the quantum regime, the focus has now turned towards creating and exploiting interesting non-classical states of motion and entanglement in optomechanical systems. Quantumness has also shifted from being the very reason why experiments are constructed to becoming a resource for the investigation of fundamental physics and the creation of quantum technologies. Here, by focusing on opto- and electromechanical platforms we review recent progress in quantum state preparation and entanglement of mechanical systems, together with applications to signal processing and transduction, quantum sensing and topological physics, as well as small-scale thermodynamics.

Advances in Quantum Optomechanics: Controlling Light-Matter Interactions at the Quantum Level

Dr. Amara Ndlovu-Hartmann

The quantum level interaction between light and mechanical systems has become a cutting-edge research with broad implications for fundamental physics, quantum information processing, and sensing. Quantum optomechanical systems allow for the precise control and modulation of light-matter interactions by coupling photons with mechanical resonators. Novel approaches to the manipulation of light and matter quantum states have been made possible by recent developments in the fabrication of ultra-sensitive mechanical devices and the achievement of strong coupling regimes. the most recent advancements in quantum optomechanics, such as the realization of non-classical states of light and mechanical motion, the improvement of quantum coherence, and the cooling of mechanical systems to their quantum ground state. possible uses in quantum memory, extremely accurate measurement systems, and basic quantum mechanical experiments. In order to create more reliable and scalable quantum networks, the study concludes by outlining potential future avenues for combining quantum optomechanical systems with other quantum technologies.
