Generating Squeezed States of Nanomechanical Resonator via a Flux Qubit in a Hybrid System
Chao-Quan Wang, Zou Jian, Zhi‐Ming Zhang
We propose a scheme for generating squeezed states based on a superconducting hybrid system. Our system consists of a nanomechanical resonator, a superconducting flux qubit, and a superconducting transmission line resonator. Using our proposal, one can easily generate the squeezed states of the nanomechanical resonator. In our scheme, the nonlinear interaction between the nanomechanical resonator and the superconducting transmission line resonator can be implemented by the flux qubit as 'nonlinear media' with a tunable Josephson energy. The realization of the nonlinearity does not need any operations on the flux qubit and just needs to adiabatically keep it at the ground state, which can greatly decrease the effect of the decoherence of the flux qubit on the squeezed efficiency.
