Abstract

Two-mode squeezed states as paradigmatic entangled resources have broad applications in quantum information processing. Here, we study the generation of stable optical-microwave squeezing in structured environments within a hybrid electro-optomechanical system, where a mechanical oscillator is simultaneously coupled to an optical cavity mode and a microwave mode of an LC resonator. Specifically, an effective Hamiltonian that captures the optical-microwave squeezing interaction is constructed by combining strongly modulated driving fields applied to both photonic modes with a mechanical parametric amplifier. Based on this effective model, the dynamical evolution of two-mode squeezing in structured environments is analyzed. It is remarkably shown that the non-Markovian noise can substantially enhance the squeezing level in comparison to the Markovian case, and that two-mode squeezing can persist even in the absence of external driving fields under non-Markovian conditions, thereby mitigating the detrimental effects of anti-squeezing. Furthermore, the persistence of the two-mode squeezed state is enhanced when the environmental spectral densities of the microwave and optical modes are identical. Our work provides a theoretical framework for generating and persisting two-mode squeezing in structured environments.

Reservoir-engineered entanglement in a hybrid modulated three-mode optomechanical system

Chang-Geng Liao, Rongxin Chen, Hong Xie +1 more

We propose an effective approach for generating highly pure and strong cavity-mechanical entanglement (or optical-microwave entanglement) in a hybrid modulated three-mode optomechanical system. By applying two-tone driving to the cavity and modulating the coupling strength between two mechanical oscillators (or between a mechanical oscillator and a transmission line resonator), we obtain an effective Hamiltonian where an intermediate mechanical mode acting as an engineered reservoir cools the Bogoliubov modes of two target system modes via beam-splitter-like interactions. In this way, the two target modes are driven to two-mode squeezed states in the stationary limit. In particular, we discuss the effects of cavity-driving detuning on the entanglement and the purity. It is found that the cavity-driving detuning plays a critical role in the goal of acquiring highly pure and strongly entangled steady states.

Parametric Control of Two-Mode Squeezed Light via Engineered Reservoirs and Tunable Optomechanical Interfaces

Tarekegn Tarekegn-Ossie-Hundebo

Quantum optomechanical systems enable versatile control of non-classical light. We study two-mode squeezed-light generation in a driven optomechanical cavity with parametrically amplified optical modes coupled to mechanical resonator. Coherent driving reveals a rich control landscape where parametric nonlinearity, optomechanical coupling, and reservoir interactions jointly tailor quantum correlations-including two-mode squeezing, entanglement, steering, and discord. Remarkably, mechanical oscillators not only mediate optical entanglement but also act as a squeezing resource, enabling enhancement or suppression of quantum correlations via parameter tuning. We derive steady-state second-order moments and closed-form covariance matrix expressions, quantifying entanglement via logarithmic negativity, steering via Reid criterion, and discord via von Neumann entropy, providing a comprehensive framework for optimized generation of quantum correlations in hybrid quantum systems.

General theory of persistent microwave-optical quantum resources in hybrid-system dynamics

Fan Li, Shi-fan Qi, Z. D. Wang +1 more

We develop a general theoretical framework for characterizing persistent quantum resources between microwave and optical modes in the dynamics of chain-type hybrid quantum systems with intermediate modes. The effective Hamiltonian for microwave-optical (MO) squeezing is formulated via strong nearest-neighbor interactions in the microwave-intermediate-optical chain, from which rigorous solutions for the dynamics of MO Gaussian entanglement and quantum steering are obtained analytically. Notably, MO quantum resource can survive and approach a finite asymptotic value even in the unsteady regime, and can surpass the steady-state upper bound on the quantum resource. Furthermore, the asymptotic values of MO entanglement as well as one-way and two-way quantum steering are readily controllable by tuning the effective coupling strength. The validity of our theory is demonstrated by applying it to the typical hybrid models of electro-optomechanical and cavity optomagnomechanical systems, and the extension to the nonlinear regime with non-Gaussian MO quantum resources is further studied.

Squeezing and entangling two microwave modes of electro-optomechanical systems with two driving lasers

Ang Li, Songlin Yang, Jian-Song Zhang +2 more

Abstract We propose an effective scheme to generate the squeezed vacuum states of two microwave fields, bipartite and genuine tripartite entanglement in a compound four-mode electro-optomechanical system with two driving lasers of different amplitudes. We find that two microwave fields can be squeezed simultaneously when the effective coupling constants between mechanical oscillator and two microwave fields are chosen appropriately. In particular, the squeezing of one microwave mode can be larger than 3 dB even at high temperature. We also find that bipartite and genuine tripartite entanglement can be generated in this system which are robust against thermal fluctuations. Our scheme may have potential applications in quantum information processing and quantum metrology.

Optomechanical quadrature squeezing in the non-Markovian regime

Biao Xiong, Xun Li, Shi-Lei Chao +1 more

Squeezing of quantum fluctuation plays an important role in fundamental quantum physics and has marked influence on ultrasensitive detection. We propose a scheme to generate and enhance the squeezing of mechanical mode by exposing the optomechanical system to a non-Markovian environment. It is shown that the effective parametric resonance term of mechanical mode can be induced due to interaction with the cavity and non-Markovian reservoir, thus resulting in quadrature squeezing of the mechanical resonator; jointing the two kinds of interactions can enhance the squeezing effect. Compared with the usual Markovian regime, we can obtain stronger squeezing, and, significantly, the squeezing can approach a low asymptotic stable value.

Bipartite entanglement generation in an electro-optomechanical ring cavity via charge-mediated coupling

Fouad Essaadi, Yassine Oussarhan, S. Mouslih +5 more

We present a theoretical investigation of quantum entanglement enhancement in an electro-optomechanical system comprising a ring cavity with two Coulomb-coupled mechanical resonators and an embedded optical parametric amplifier (OPA). The system dynamics are governed by radiation pressure interactions between the optical field and mechanical modes, modified by both the Coulomb coupling and OPA-induced squeezing. Through a comprehensive quantum Langevin analysis and linearization approach, we demonstrate how these competing interactions can be exploited to generate and control entanglement. Our key finding is that the Coulomb interaction strength is fundamental for generating bipartite entanglement, both between directly coupled mechanical modes and, more remarkably, between optical and mechanical modes, thereby influencing the entire system. The OPA parameters, namely the gain and phase, provide powerful control knobs for entanglement optimization. Notably, the OPA enhances entanglement robustness against thermal noise, resulting in stronger quantum correlations. We quantify these effects through covariance matrix methods and logarithmic negativity measures. The study provides new insights into hybrid optomechanical entanglement generation, showing how combined charge-mediated coupling and optical squeezing can overcome typical limitations of purely optomechanical systems. These results offer practical guidelines for experimental implementations in quantum information processing and macroscopic quantum state engineering, particularly in systems where environmental noise and parameter stability are critical concerns.
