Abstract

Within a normalized six-dimensional model of dissipative optomechanics (one cavity + two mechanical resonators), a synthetic-flux phase $Φ_{\rm syn}$ acts as a reproducible control coordinate that selects the \emph{order} of a drive- and coupling-gated hyperchaos transition---up to four simultaneously positive Lyapunov exponents, beyond any reported single-mode benchmark. A phase-consistent Floquet--Lyapunov protocol (cross-checked by monodromy multipliers, dissipative volume balance $\sumλ_i=\operatorname{Tr}(J)=-1.04$ and a 180-run three-seed audit) localizes the onset to a Neimark--Sacker bifurcation at $E^{*}=\num{1.060}$ ($θ=0$). As a secondary, model-level geometric clarification, the identical matched-resource force-sensing protocol returns a null gain on the chaotic attractor ($\mathcal{G}_{A/B}=\num{1.039}\pm\num{0.014}$), consistent with the matched-Fisher lemma: noise projected onto an unstable manifold is stretched by the same factor $e^{λt}$ as the deterministic signal. Truncated-Fock and truncated-Wigner checks support the mean-field description at selected points. All results remain strictly model-level: the strong-coupling sector lies $\num{2542}\times$ beyond anchored silicon optomechanical couplings. Closing that gap requires ultrasonic characterization of the mechanical degeneracy $ω_2$, a measured inter-resonator hopping $J_m$, and the emergence of a genuine gigahertz platform.

Hierarchical quantum sensing with Floquet-engineered chaos and exceptional surfaces

Stella Rolande Mbokop Tchounda, Carolle Tchodimou, Philippe Djorwé +2 more

Abstract This Letter presents a hierarchical quantum sensing strategy in Floquet-engineered optomechanical systems based on the topological transition from limit cycles to strange attractors. Analyzing the global attractor landscape reveals three sensing regimes: linear operation, exceptional points (EPs), and high-order chaos. The chaotic regime yields a sensitivity scaling $S \propto e^{2\lambda_{\max} t}$, providing a $100\times$ gain over the standard quantum limit and outperforming EP-based enhancement ($12.5\times$) for transient signals. The physical mechanism is a "Petermann bifurcation," where the non-orthogonality of Floquet modes ($K \gg 1$) persists beyond the stability boundary, combining topological and dynamical amplification. Ultra-Strong Coupling (USC) effects significantly expand the chaotic basin, robustly preserving these gains against experimental disorder.

Gradient-based optimal control of the non-Hermitian skin effect in optomechanical arrays

Juste Deuyekbe, Philippe Djorwé, A. -H. Abdel-Aty +3 more

In single-port non-Hermitian sensors the Petermann factor offsets susceptibility gains, imposing a strict resource bound on metrological precision. We test whether a multi-port geometry can evade this bound: a double-chain optomechanical ladder with opposing non-reciprocal hoppings spatially separates signal amplification from quantum-noise drainage, and gradient-based differentiable optimal control (DOC) maximizes the resource-normalized Fisher information $\Fnorm$ subject to a Hurwitz-stability constraint. Across system sizes $N\in\{\num{6},\dots,\num{16}\}$ the optimizer returns $\Fnorm>0$ in every case, with two coexisting solution classes whose selection is initialization-dependent: deep-stability configurations achieve $\Fnorm\in\numrange{0.937}{0.987}$ with attenuated transmission, while marginal-stability configurations deliver directional gain $\Gfwd\in\qtyrange{13.5}{15.5}{\dB}$ with isolation $\Iso\in\qtyrange{40}{64}{\dB}$. A multi-restart ensemble reveals these classes are the endpoints of a precision--gain frontier. All solutions remain Hurwitz-stable under \qty{5}{\percent} disorder (\qty{87.5}{\percent} recovery), and the deep-stability advantage survives realistic preamplifier noise at $\Fnormeff\approx\num{0.3}$--$\num{0.5}$. Mapped onto circuit-QED parameters, the architecture enables sub-attonewton force sensing and broadband axion searches across the \qtyrange{1}{10}{\giga\hertz} band.

Topological phase transition in chaotic optomechanical systems

Xiao-Jun Zhang

Hidden structures with well-defined predictability are uncovered in the evolution of a chaotic optomechanical system from the perspective of the $ε$-machine. Tuning the frequency of the driving laser can switch off this predictability, and such behaviour corresponds to a phase transition that is deeply related to topological changes in phase space. The transition probabilities between causal states allow us to define an entropy (uncertainty) that serves as an effective order parameter. This phase transition can be readily demonstrated in currently available experiments by monitoring the quadrature of the optical mode. We hope that this work could fundamentally broaden the regimes of cavity micromechanics and nonlinear optics.

Floquet-Engineered Superradiant Quantum Sensing via Stroboscopic Liouvillian Control

Francis Procaccia

We propose a stroboscopic Floquet sensing protocol that applies periodic coherent displacement kicks to a cavity–Bose-Einstein condensate system operated in the normal phase near the Dicke superradiant critical point. The kicks do not alter the underlying Hamiltonian or dissipation rates, yet they produce a stroboscopic steady state with a period-dependent Fisher information that exhibits a bounded maximum at an optimal strobe period (T^*).Two complementary theoretical pictures are developed. In the linearized Gaussian model, the enhancement arises from stroboscopic resonance at (T^* \approx 2\pi/\omega_0). In the full Lindblad treatment, noncommutativity between the Liouvillian and the kick generator generates Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff corrections. After projection onto the slow mode, these corrections renormalize the effective gap in the intermediate-period regime. Numerical fits support the local behavior[\mu(T) \approx \mu_0 + \frac{a}{T^2} + cT^2,\qquad a<0,;c>0.]This produces an optimal sensing period determined by competition between the two terms.Numerical simulations at moderate truncation levels ((N=3\text{–}5)) with a displacement kick yield a Fisher information gain of (\times4.5\text{–}5.0) relative to the static case. However, a higher-truncation benchmark at (N=11) using a squeezing kick shows no detectable enhancement. That benchmark simultaneously changes the kick type, the coupling (g/\kappa), and the kick strength (\epsilon) relative to the (N\leq5) runs, and therefore does not isolate a truncation effect.As shown in Sec. 4.3, the squeezing null is instead a first-moment sector effect that does not depend on truncation: the enhancement resides entirely in the stroboscopic mean[R^*(T)=\left(I-e^{AT}\right)^{-1}d](Appendix A). A squeezing kick contributes no affine displacement ((d=0)), so the corresponding homodyne Fisher information vanishes identically.The displacement-kick gains are shown to be exactly truncation-converged (Sec. 4.4) and therefore represent robust finite-(N) enhancements. In the thermodynamic limit (N\rightarrow\infty) at fixed (g/\sqrt{N}), the enhancement decays as a power law. The protocol is therefore best understood as a finite-size resonance rather than a thermodynamic-limit divergence.The protocol offers a route to sensing enhancement without operating at the critical point or requiring feedback. Its performance is highly sensitive to the choice of kick operator, highlighting both the promise and the practical limits of Floquet control for quantum metrology.

Dissipative phase transitions and chaos in two-photon driven quantum optomechanics

Giovanni Bragadin, Filippo Ferrari, Lorenzo Fioroni +4 more

We investigate nonequilibrium criticality and chaos in a two-photon-driven optomechanical system. The parametric drive preserves a discrete $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry of the optical field, while radiation-pressure coupling transfers the resulting nonlinear dynamics to a mechanical oscillator. Combining semiclassical stability analysis, exact Liouvillian spectra, and stochastic quantum trajectories, we show that this driven-dissipative optomechanical model supports both first- and second-order dissipative phase transitions. At negative detuning a second-order transition yields spontaneous breaking of the cavity-parity symmetry in the thermodynamic limit. At positive detuning the same symmetry breaking coexists with a first-order transition, signaled by metastability and by an additional symmetric Liouvillian mode. At stronger pump power the mean-field dynamics loses all stable fixed points and develops limit cycles and chaotic attractors with positive Lyapunov exponent. Quantum trajectories in this regime display chaotic-like motion, enhanced steady-state entropy, and delocalization over many entropic Liouvillian modes. These results establish two-photon-driven optomechanics as a platform where dissipative criticality, symmetry breaking, and quantum signatures of chaos emerge within the same experimentally accessible setting.

A Pre Registered Confirmatory Run of Constraint Induced Identity Locking (CIIL): Detecting the Vibration to Light to Mass Transition Chain with Physical Coupling and Structural Null Models

Kearon Allen

CIIL v6 is a preregistered computational investigation of accessibility structure in driven optomechanical systems using linearised quantum Langevin dynamics with rotating-wave and rotating frame consistent injection. The project examines whether accessibility between dynamical regimes is governed primarily by spectral admissibility and fluctuation content, or whether additional geometric and temporal transport structure emerges before conventional nonlinear or quantum thresholds activate. The study evaluates multiple structured drive families, including coherent, chirped, broadband stochastic, intermittent, phase coherent, frequency modulated, and null control drives under matched injected RF envelope normalization. Accessibility is analyzed through locked preregistered observables including δk*_L persistence burden metrics, fluctuation admissibility measures, persistence weighted admissibility structure, corridor-excursion geometry, Rice crossing statistics, PCA accessibility manifolds, null-survival analysis, and accessibility isocontours. This v6 release represents the corrected and physically constrained extension of earlier CIIL v4/v5 exploratory runs. Major corrections include rotating frame consistent RF demodulation, κ/2 low-pass envelope extraction, removal of lab frame harmonic aliasing, explicit null model testing, locked figure provenance, preregistered prediction files, reproducible seed ensembles, and SHA-256 reproducibility locking. The primary result of CIIL v6 is that simple spectral admissibility and fluctuation only predictors do not fully determine accessibility ranking. Distinct drive families occupy structured regions of accessibility space despite weak scalar rank separation, indicating that accessibility behaves geometrically rather than as a one-dimensional burden coordinate. The results further suggest that excursion topology, burst organization, residence structure, and temporal localization contain information lost under scalar persistence compression. Structured intermittent drives produce disproportionately strong corridor excursions relative to continuous stochastic forcing under matched injected drive normalization, while accessibility organization emerges before conventional observables such as entanglement activation or strong DCE like threshold behavior. The manuscript explicitly separates established physics including quantum Langevin equations, rotating wave approximations, covariance dynamics, Rice crossing theory, and standard optomechanics from the project’s new contributions involving accessibility geometry, excursion topology interpretation, manifold organization, scalar compression failure, and preregistered falsification architecture. This release includes the full manuscript PDF, locked simulation code, prediction JSON files, sweep outputs, figure-generation pipeline, reproducibility metadata, SHA-256 integrity records, and all manuscript figures generated directly from locked outputs. The project is presented as an exploratory but reproducible investigation into pre threshold accessibility organization inside standard driven optomechanical dynamics, not as evidence for new fundamental physics beyond QED or optomechanics.
