Optomechanics and Quantum Measurement

Aashish A. Clerk

After a quick review of the basic theory of quantum optomechanical systems, based largely on linearized Heisenberg–Langevin equations, this chapter focuses on selected topics related to quantum measurement and quantum optomechanics. Included are: a comprehensive discussion of the quantum limit on the added noise of a continuous position detector, following the quantum linear response approach; a detailed discussion of the role of noise correlations, and how these can be achieved in an optomechanical cavity (by using squeezed input light, or by modifying the choice of measured output quadrature); and a discussion of back-action evading measurements of a mechanical quadrature, discussing how this can be achieved in a two-tone driven cavity system. The chapter ends with a quick introduction to the theory of conditional continuous quantum measurement, and a discussion on how a back-action evading measurement can be used to produce conditional mechanical squeezed states.

Linear quantum measurement of mechanical motion

Warwick P. Bowen

In this chapter we use the quantum theory of continuous measurement to describe the linearised interaction between light and a mechanical oscillator in a cavity optomechanical system, and quantify how the optical output field can be used to monitor the quantum state of the mechanics. We show that continuous measurement results in unavoidable quantum back-action that heats the mechanical oscillator and introduces a standard quantum limit to force and displacement sensing, and detail how important parameters in quantum optomechanics, including optomechanical coupling rate, cooperativity, and oscillator temperature, can be characterised by optical measurement.

Stationary optomechanical entanglement between a mechanical oscillator and its measurement apparatus

Corentin Gut, K. Winkler, Jason Hoelscher-Obermaier +9 more

We provide an argument to infer stationary entanglement between light and a mechanical oscillator based on continuous measurement of light only.We propose an experimentally realizable scheme involving an optomechanical cavity driven by a resonant, continuous-wave field operating in the non-sideband-resolved regime.This corresponds to the conventional configuration of an optomechanical position or force sensor.We show analytically that entanglement between the mechanical oscillator and the output field of the optomechanical cavity can be inferred from the measurement of squeezing in (generalized) Einstein-Podolski-Rosen quadratures of suitable temporal modes of the stationary light field.Squeezing can reach levels of up to 50% of noise reduction below shot noise in the limit of large quantum cooperativity.Remarkably, entanglement persists even in the opposite limit of small cooperativity.Viewing the optomechanical device as a position sensor, entanglement between mechanics and light is an instance of object-apparatus entanglement predicted by quantum measurement theory.
