Abstract

We present the possibility of manipulating and controlling the field quadrature fluctuations of squeezed light by effect of opto-mechanical interaction, using a Fabry-Perot cavity, whose end-mirror is a mechanical resonator.

Optomechanical tailoring of quantum fluctuations

Stefano Mancini, Howard M. Wiseman

We propose the use of feedback mechanism to control the level of quantum noise in a radiation field emerging from a pendular Fabry-Perot cavity. It is based on the possibility to perform quantum nondemolition measurements by means of optomechanical coupling.

Inhibition of atomic phase decays by squeezed light in a microscopic Fabry-Pérot cavity

A. S. Parkins, Crispin W. Gardiner

The inhibition of atomic phase decays by squeezed light, as first predicted by Gardiner [Phys. Rev. Lett. 56, 1917 (1986)], has yet to be confirmed experimentally. A major obstacle to such an experiment is the production of an effective squeezed-vacuum--atom coupling, so that the atom interacts only with squeezed modes of the radiation field. In this paper we propose the use of a microscopic plane-mirror Fabry-P\'erot cavity to effect a strong selection of modes coupling to the atom. It is shown that a significant reduction in fluctuations experienced by the atom can be achieved in one quadrature, with an input squeezed beam of modest angular dimensions, provided that the phase (and to lesser extent the amplitude) characteristics of the input beam are suitably matched to the cavity.

Quantum noise reduction by radiation pressure

Stefano Mancini, P. Tombesi

We show that a linear Fabry-P\'erot cavity with an oscillating end mirror can be used for quantum noise reduction. For a high-quality factor of the mechanical oscillator the output quantum fluctuations of the monochromatic light beam can be significantly squeezed at a frequency very close to that of the impinging light. The analysis is performed by taking into account the coupling of the system with the external world.

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.

Optomechanical control of atoms and molecules

Mishkatul Bhattacharya, Swati Singh, Pierre-Louis Giscard +1 more

We briefly review some of our recent and ongoing work on nanoscale optomechanics, an emerging area at the confluence of atomic, condensed matter and gravitational wave physics. A central tenet of optomechanics is the laser cooling of a moving mirror, typically an end mirror of a Fabry-Perot resonator, to a point near its quantum-mechanical ground state of vibration. Following a general introduction we discuss how the motion of such a macroscopic quantum oscillator can be squeezed, and then show how the placement of a ferroelectric tip on the oscillator allows the coherent manipulation and control of the center-of-mass motion of ultracold polar molecules.

Optomechanical entanglement manipulation and switching in a squeezed-cavity-assisted optomechanical system

Lei Sun, Yi‐Bing Qian, Deng-Gao Lai +4 more

Quantum entanglement is pivotal in modern quantum technologies, spanning applications from quantum networks to quantum metrology. Controllable quantum entanglement in cavity optomechanical systems has been an enduring pursuit. We propose a unique method for flexible manipulation and switching of optomechanical entanglement in a squeezed-cavity-assisted optomechanical system consisting of a χ (2) -nonlinear optical cavity and an optomechanical cavity. Squeezing the nonlinear optical cavity through parametric pumping allows effective control of light-light and light-vibration interactions within the system. This capability of the squeezed system plays a key role in manipulating quantum entanglement. We find that quantum entanglement between the unsqueezed cavity mode and the mechanical mode can be effectively regulated by adjusting the pump laser parameters. Furthermore, by turning the phase of the pump, we can achieve highly flexible quantum switching between entanglement and separability. Additionally, we demonstrate increased entanglement between the squeezed cavity mode and the mechanical mode when completely suppressing the pump-induced optical input noise. Our findings pave the way not only towards the manipulation and protection of fragile quantum entanglement but also to achieve photon-phonon quantum control by exploiting quantum squeezing.
