Enhancing stationary optomechanical entanglement with the Kerr medium

Abstract

We theoretically investigate the stationary entanglement of a optomechanical system with an additional Kerr medium in the cavity. There are two kinds of interactions in the system, photon—mirror interaction and photon—photon interaction. The optomechanical entanglement created by the former interaction can be effectively controlled by the latter one. We find that the optomechanical entanglement is suppressed by Kerr interaction due to photon blockage. We also find that the Kerr interaction can create the stationary entanglement and induce the resonance of entanglement in the small detuning regime. These results show that the Kerr interaction is an effective control for the optomechanical system.

Qubit-assisted enhancement of quantum entanglement in an optomechanical system in the presence of Kerr medium

Driss Aoune, Noureddine Benrass, Nabil Habiballah +1 more

In this work, we investigate a theoretical study of the stationary entanglement of an optomechanical system by adding a Kerr medium in the cavity where the mechanical resonator is perturbatively connected to an auxiliary qubit. The degree of entanglement between the cavity field and the mechanical system is measured by using the logarithmic negativity. We show that optomechanical entanglement is decreased by Kerr interaction due to photon blockage enhanced by mirror–qubit coupling, we also show that this enhancement is influenced by the temperature. In addition, we find that, in the presence of the mirror–qubit coupling, entanglement can arise with far weaker optomechanical coupling. The proposed scheme shows that the presence of the mirror–qubit coupling and Kerr medium is an effective control for an optomechanical system.

Enhancing stationary entanglement between two optomechanical oscillators by Coulomb interaction with Kerr medium*

Tian-Le Yang, Chen-Long Zhu, Sheng Liu +1 more

We theoretically study the stationary entanglement of two charged nanomechanical oscillators coupling via Coulomb interaction in an optomechanical system with an additional Kerr medium. We show that the degree of entanglementbetween two nanomechanical oscillators is suppressed by Kerr interaction dueto photon blockade and enhanced by Coulomb coupling strength. We also show other parameters for adjusting and obtaining entanglement, such as the driving power and the frequencies of the two oscillators, and the entanglement is robust against temperature. Our study proves a way for adjusting stationary entanglement between two optomechanical oscillators by Coulomb interaction and Kerr medium.

Effect of Phase Noise on the Stationary Entanglement of an Optomechanical System with Kerr Medium

Dan Zhang, Qiang Zheng

We theoretically investigate the effect of phase noise on the stationary entanglement of an optomechanical system, which has the additional Kerr medium in the cavity. There are two kinds of interactions in the system, photon-mirror interaction and photon-photon interaction. We find that the optomechanical entanglement can be suppressed by the phase noise of the pumping laser and Kerr interaction of photons. We also find that Kerr interaction can make the phase-noise-induced double peak of the stationary entanglement change to a single peak.

Enhanced entanglement between two movable mirrors in an optomechanical system with nonlinear media

Li Junhong, Bang‐Pin Hou, Yong-Hong Zhao +1 more

We investigate the entanglement between two movable mirrors in an optomechanical cavity, in which a Kerr-down-conversion crystal consisting of a Kerr nonlinear medium and an optical parametric amplifier (OPA) is placed. The effects of the nonlinear media on the entanglement have been analyzed. It is shown that the Kerr nonlinear medium makes the perfect entanglement in some discrete frequency regions. Furthermore, when the input vacuum field is squeezed, the frequency range for producing the entanglement can be effectively extended and the reachable maximal entanglement can be enhanced by the Kerr nonlinear medium, while the OPA medium reduces the degree of the entanglement and necks the frequency range for generating the entanglement. These results suggest that nonlinear media could serve as a new handle to coherently control the entanglement between the vibrational modes of the micromirrors in the optomechanical cavity system.

Strong squeezing and robust entanglement in a second-order coupled optomechanical cavity assisted by a Kerr nonlinear medium

Sonam Mahajan, Neha Aggarwal, Aranya B. Bhattacherjee

We investigate theoretically an optomechanical system composed of an optical mode and a mechanical mode interacting through first-order coupling and second-order coupling in the presence of a Kerr nonlinear medium. We study how the nonlinearities (second-order optomechanical coupling and Kerr nonlinearity) alter the optical output spectrum, optical quadrature squeezing and optomechanical entanglement. It is shown that the intensity of the output optical spectrum decreases drastically with an increase in second-order optomechanical coupling while it increases significantly with an increase in Kerr nonlinear parameter. More interestingly, by choosing suitable second-order optomechanical coupling and detuning of the optical cavity field, one can achieve strong squeezing of the cavity light field. Further, these nonlinearities play an important role in creating robust optomechanical entanglement between optical and mechanical modes. Hence, the presence of various nonlinearities in the system can be a good platform for achieving the squeezing of light and robust optomechanical entanglement which can be used in realizing better quantum optomechanical devices.

Bistability in a Hybrid Optomechanical System under the Effect of a Nonlinear Medium

A. Asghari Nejad, Hassan Randjbar Askari, Hamid Reza Baghshahi

We investigate a hybrid optomechanical system consisting of two coupled cavities, one of them is composed of two-end fixed mirrors (called the traditional cavity), and the other has a one-end oscillating mirror (named as the optomechanical cavity). A Kerr medium is inside the traditional cavity to enhance the nonlinearity due to the fact that it can cause observing of bistable behavior in intracavity intensity for the optomechanical cavity. The Hamiltonian of the system is written in a rotating frame and its dynamics is described by quantum Langevin equations of motion. Our proposed system exhibits unconventional plots for the mean photon number of the optomechanical cavity which are not observed in previous works. The present results show a deep effect of the Kerr medium on optical bistability of intracavity intensity for the optomechanical cavity. Also, coupling strength of the cavities can effectively change the stability of the system.
