Abstract

In this work, we investigate quantum entanglement and work extraction in two distinct optomechanical systems. The first system consists of two spatially separated Fabry-Pérot cavities driven by squeezed light in the resolved-sideband regime, while the second system comprises a laser field incident on a vibrating mirror. We analyze the entanglement dynamics between optical and mechanical modes, as well as quantum correlations in a mixed optomechanical bipartite system (optic-optic mode) mediated by radiation pressure. Using logarithmic negativity as a measure, we quantify the entanglement evolution in both optic-optic and mirror-mirror bipartite subsystems. Furthermore, we show how three distinct types of extractable work vary with system parameters and examine their relationship with entanglement. Our results highlight the relationship between quantum correlations and extracted work in optomechanical system, offering insights for quantum information processing and energy transfer in hybrid systems.

Measure of general quantum correlations in optomechanics

Mohamed Amazioug, Mostafa Nassik, Nabil Habiballah

In this paper, we analyze nonclassical correlations between bipartite states in two optomechanical systems. The first system (Sec. 2) consists of two nanoresonators spatially separated by broadband squeezed light, where each cavity has a fixed mirror and a movable one. The second system (Sec. 3) is an atom-optomechanical system consisting of an atomic ensemble placed inside an optical nanoresonator with a vibrating mirror. For both optomechanical systems, we give the Hamiltonian and the explicit expression of covariance matrix leading to the quantum equations describing the dynamic evolution of the system. Then, the nonclassical correlations are quantified using the logarithmic negativity and Gaussian quantum discord. We propose also a scheme for examining the evolution of Gaussian quantum steering and its asymmetry in each system. We show that the entanglement of the two mechanical modes is very strongly related to the parameters characterizing the environment where the movable mirrors evolve, in particular the squeeze parameter, the optomechanical cooperativity and thermal bath temperature.

Steady-state quantum correlation measurement in hybrid optomechanical systems

Tesfay Gebremariam Tesfahannes, Merkebu Dereje Getahune

In this paper, we investigate the steady-state of quantum correlation measurement of hybrid optomechanical systems. The first system consists of a single optomechanical system simultaneously coupled to a mechanical oscillator. While the second system is a hybrid optomechanical system consisting of an atomic ensemble placed in between the optical cavity and mirror. For both optomechanical systems, we formulate the Hamiltonian and the explicit expression of the covariance matrix leading to the dynamic of the system. Under the linearization approximation, we investigate the steady-state quantum correlations which are quantified through the correlation function of non-Hermitian operators, while the logarithmic negativity is used to quantify the amount of quantum entanglement between the subsystems. Furthermore, our proposed quantum correlation function can be used to quantify the entangled bipartite states that are correlative and transfer information. It is found that the transfer of quantum correlations between the subsystem is related to the detuning and coupling strength. Our results provide a realistic route toward remote quantum entanglement detection and a framework of future realistic fiber-optic quantum network operating applications.

Nonclassical correlations in a two-mode optomechanical system

Jamal El Qars, Mohammed Daoud A, R. Ahl Laamara

The pairwise quantum correlations in a tripartite optomechanical system comprising a mechanical mode and two optical modes are analyzed. The Simon criterion is used as a witness of the separability. Whereas the Gaussian discord is employed to capture the quantumness of correlations. Both entanglement and Gaussian discord are evaluated as functions of the parameters characterizing the environment and the system (temperature, squeezing and optomechanical coupling). We work in the resolved-sideband regime. We show that it is possible to reach three simultaneous bipartite entanglements via the quantum correlations transfer from the squeezed light to the system. While, even without squeezed light, the quantumness of correlations can be captured simultaneously between the three modes for a very wide range of parameters. Specifically, we find that the two optical modes exhibit more quantum correlations in comparison with the entangled mechanical–optical modes. Finally, unlike the two hybrid subsystems, the purely optical one seems more resilient against the environmental destructive effects.

Quantification of different quantum correlations in a double cavity optomechanical system

Noureddine Benrass, Driss Aoune, Nabil Habiballah +1 more

The aim of this paper is to quantify the quantum correlations between mechanical and optical modes in an optomechanical system with two spatially separated Fabry–Pérot cavities. We use logarithmic negativity [Formula: see text] and entanglement of formation (EoF), respectively, to quantify entanglement between optical and mechanical modes, while Gaussian geometric discord (GGD) is used to capture all nonclassical correlations, including entanglement. These quantifiers are evaluated as functions of the physical parameters characterizing the environment and the system (the thermal bath temperature [Formula: see text], the photons number [Formula: see text], the optomechanical cooperativity [Formula: see text], the squeeze parameter [Formula: see text] and the drive pump power [Formula: see text]). By considering recent experimental parameters, we show that GGD is more robust than entanglement for high thermal bath temperature and low optomechanical cooperativity. We also find that these quantifiers improve with increasing optomechanical cooperativity. The effects of the other parameters are also discussed in detail.

Dynamics of Rényi-2 correlations in optomechanics

Abstract We report on temporal evolution of three different kinds of correlations present between two mechanical resonators of two distant Fabry-Pérot cavities. The two cavities are jointly fed by a two-mode squeezed light and driven by two independent coherent lasers. We consider the initial state of the two mechanical modes as a two-mode uncorrelated thermal state. After evaluating the dynamical covariance matrix elements, we give explicit expressions of the measures of correlations defined via the Rényi-2 entropy, namely, the Rényi-2 quantum mutual information, the Gaussian Rényi-2 entanglement and the Gaussian quantum steering. We find that by an appropriate choice of the system parameters, it is possible to generate entanglement and steering via a quantum correlations transfer from squeezed light to the mechanical bi-mode state. The influence of the squeezing parameter, the optomechanical cooperativity and the environmental thermal noise on the correlations are studied thoroughly. Additionally, we show in various circumstances that the considered temporal correlations respect the hierarchical relation established in L Lami, C Hirche, G Adesso, and A Winter, (2016 Phys. Rev. Lett. 117 , 220 502).
