Photon-phonon entanglement in a coupled optomechanical system

Uzma Akram, Gerard J Milburn

Abstract

We consider two coupled optomechanical cavities exploring entanglement between all modes in the collective system. In addition to intra cavity entanglement [1], interestingly we find remarkably robust steady state inter cavity photon-phonon entanglement.

Photon-phonon entanglement in coupled optomechanical arrays

We consider an array of three optomechanical cavities coupled either reversibly or irreversibly to each other and calculate the amount of entanglement between the different optical and mechanical modes. We show that the composite system exhibits intercavity photon-phonon entanglement.

Dynamic entanglement transfer in a double-cavity optomechanical system

Tiantian Huan, Ri‐Gui Zhou, Hou Ian

We give a theoretical study of a double-cavity system in which a mechanical resonator beam is coupled to two cavity modes on both sides through radiation pressures. The indirect coupling between the cavities via the resonator sets up a correlation in the optomechanical entanglements between the two cavities with the common resonator. This correlation initiates an entanglement transfer from the intracavity photon-phonon entanglements to an intercavity photon-photon entanglement. Using numerical solutions, we show two distinct regimes of the optomechanical system, in which the indirect entanglement either builds up and eventually saturates or undergoes a death-and-revival cycle, after a time lapse for initiating the cooperative motion of the left and right cavity modes.

Entanglement of distant optomechanical systems

Chaitanya Joshi, Jonas Larson, M. Jonson +2 more

We theoretically investigate the possibility to generate nonclassical states of optical and mechanical modes of optical cavities, distant from each other. A setup comprised of two identical cavities, each with one fixed and one movable mirror and coupled by an optical fiber, is studied in detail. We show that with such a setup there is potential to generate entanglement between the distant cavities, involving both optical and mechanical modes. The scheme is robust with respect to dissipation, and nonlocal correlations are found to exist in the steady state at finite temperatures.

Steady-state entanglement activation in optomechanical cavities

Alessandro Farace, Francesco Ciccarello, Rosario Fazio +1 more

Quantum discord, and related indicators, are raising a relentless interest as a novel paradigm of nonclassical correlations beyond entanglement. Here, we discover a discord-activated mechanism yielding steady-state entanglement production in a realistic continuous-variable setup. This comprises two coupled optomechanical cavities, where the optical modes (OMs) communicate through a fiber. We first use a simplified model to highlight the creation of steady-state discord between the OMs. We show next that such discord improves the level of stationary optomechanical entanglement attainable in the system, making it more robust against temperature and thermal noise.

Enhancing photon entanglement in a three-mode optomechanical system via imperfect phonon measurements

Jing Qiu, Dongni Shao Chen, Ying-Dan Wang +1 more

Abstract By considering a 3-mode optomechanical system formed by two cavities interacting with a common mechanical mode, we demonstrate that phonon-counting measurements lead to a significant enhancement of entanglement in the output of the two cavities. This conclusion still holds for an inefficient detector, but the dependence on system parameters changes qualitatively from the ideal limit of perfect projective measurements. We find non-trivial optimal points for the entanglement as functions of detector efficiency, measurement outcome, and optical drive strengths. We characterize both the highest achievable entanglement as well as a ‘typical’ value, obtained at the most likely measurement outcome. Numerical results are well understood within an approximate analytical approach based on perturbation theory around the ideal detector limit.

Generation and detection of large and robust entanglement between two different mechanical resonators in cavity optomechanics

J Li, I Moaddel Haghighi, Nicola Malossi +2 more

We investigate a general scheme for generating, either dynamically or in the steady state, continuous variable entanglement between two mechanical resonators with different frequencies. We employ an optomechanical system in which a single optical cavity mode driven by a suitably chosen two-tone field is coupled to the two resonators. Significantly large mechanical entanglement can be achieved, which is extremely robust with respect to temperature.
