Abstract

We have investigated the dynamical entanglement and quantum steering in a pulsed hybrid opto-electro-mechanical system. Using the symmetric and asymmetric criteria, the possibilities of bipartite entanglement, one-way steering, two-way steering, and collective tripartite steering have been studied between different output modes. In addition, the influence of the squeezing parameter on the amount of tripartite steering measurement is also examined. The results show that a higher electro-mechanical coupling rate leads to stronger tripartite steering. The microwave cavity mode can enhance the output quantum steering and remotely steers the optical cavity. Thus, the slower mode can steer the faster mode. Such hybrid systems can serve as frequency converters between microwave and optical domains and can have a profound impact on building quantum networks of microwave-operated superconducting quantum computers.

Steering, bipartite, and genuine tripartite entanglement in five-mode hybrid cavity electro-optomechanical systems

Ping Yu, Jian-Song Zhang, Wenxue Zhong +1 more

We propose a scheme to generate one-way steering, bipartite, and genuine tripartite entanglement in a five-mode hybrid cavity electro-optomechanical system consisted of an optical cavity, a mechanical resonator, and three microwave cavity modes with the help of a squeezed vacuum field. The optical cavity is pumped by a squeezed vacuum field. The mechanical resonator is formed by a freely vibrating silicon nitride membrane, which is a part of a capacitor in an inductor–capacitor circuit forming three microwave resonators. We find that there is robust entanglement and one-way steering between the optical cavity mode and microwave cavity modes in the presence of the squeezed vacuum field. Particularly, there is steady-state genuine tripartite entanglement between three microwave cavity modes, which is robust against thermal fluctuations. Our scheme could be useful for various quantum tasks based on hybrid electro-optomechanical systems fabricated on chips.

Entanglement enhancement and EPR steering based on a PT-symmetric-like cavity-opto-magnomechanical hybrid system

We investigate the enhancement of entanglement and EPR steering in a parity-time(PT-) symmetric-like cavity-opto-magnomechanical system. The system consists of an optical cavity, a magnon mode in a ferromagnetic crystal, a phonon mode, and a microwave cavity. Our findings demonstrate that microwave-cavity gain significantly boosts distant quantum entanglement and greatly improves the robustness of bipartite entanglement against environment temperature. Additionally, we observe an enhancement of tripartite entanglement within the system and uncover the phenomenon of entanglement transfer. Notably, we also achieve one-way steering and two-way asymmetric steering in the system. This study offers insights into the integration of traditional optomechanics and cavity magnomechanics, presenting a novel approach to manipulate asymmetric quantum steering between two distant macroscopic objects. The implications of our research extend to the fields of quantum state preparation and quantum information.

Phase control of entanglement and quantum steering in a three-mode optomechanical system

Feng-Xiao Sun, Dan Mao, Yue Dai +3 more

The theory of phase control of coherence, entanglement and quantum steering is developed for an optomechanical system composed of a single mode cavity containing a partially transmitting dielectric membrane and driven by short laser pulses. The membrane divides the cavity into two mutually coupled optomechanical cavities resulting in an effective three-mode closed loop system, two field modes of the two cavities and a mechanical mode representing the oscillating membrane. The closed loop in the coupling creates interfering channels which depend on the relative phase of the coupling strengths of the field modes to the mechanical mode. Populations and correlations of the output modes are calculated analytically and show several interesting phase dependent effects such as reversible population transfer from one field mode to the other, creation of collective modes, and induced coherence without induced emission. We find that these effects result from perfect mutual coherence between the field modes which is preserved even if one of the modes is not populated. The inseparability criterion for the output modes is also investigated and we find that entanglement may occur only between the field modes and the mechanical mode. We show that depending on the phase, the field modes can act on the mechanical mode collectively or individually resulting, respectively, in tripartite or bipartite entanglement. In addition, we examine the phase sensitivity of quantum steering of the mechanical mode by the field modes. Deterministic phase transfer of the steering from bipartite to collective is predicted and optimum steering corresponding to perfect EPR state can be achieved. These different types of quantum steering can be distinguished experimentally by measuring the coincidence rate between two detectors adjusted to collect photons of the output cavity modes. In particular, we find that the minima of the interference pattern of the coincidence rate signal the bipartite steering, while the maxima signal the collective steering.

Vector quantum steering in pulsed optomechanics

Kai‐Wei Huang, Xin Wang, Qing‐Yang Qiu +2 more

Quantum steering plays a key role for quantum technologies, such as one-way quantum computation and quantum communication. Here, we consider a vector cavity optomechanical scheme to create quantum steering between two orthogonal polarized lights and a mechanical vibration, where cavity modes are driven by short laser pulses. By controlling the polarization behavior of a light field, we not only manipulate the steering of the vibration via polarized light, but also reversibly switch between ordinary tripartite steering and collective steering. In addition, we find that bipartite steering is more sensitive to thermal noise than tripartite steering. As a result, collective steering can be achieved within a larger parameter range. Controllable quantum steering with such a vectorial device may provide effective resources to build up steered networks.

Entanglement and quantum steering in a hybrid quadpartite system

Amjad Sohail, Montasir Qasymeh, Hichem Eleuch

We consider a quadpartite hybrid system that incorporates a microwave cavity, a yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) magnetic sphere resonator, a mechanical resonator, and an $LC$ electrical resonator. The entanglement and the quantum steering properties of this quadpartite system are thoroughly investigated by considering practical parameters. The microwave cavity mode is directly coupled to the magnon, mechanical, and electrical modes via Kittel magnetostatics, radiation pressure, and adjustable capacitance of the $LC$ configuration, respectively. We demonstrate tripartite entanglement among different modes, including indirectly coupled modes (such as magnon entanglement with mechanical and $LC$ electrical modes) for operating temperatures up to 2 K. Furthermore, we observe the presence of asymmetric one-way steering, revealing that the mechanical oscillator and the $LC$ resonant modes can steer the indirectly coupled magnon mode (yet in one direction while steering is not possible in the backward direction). The integration of the four interacting modes provides a variety of controlling degrees of freedom and makes the proposed quadpartite system an attractive approach for a wide range of applications, including data processing and communication, sensing, and quantum technologies.

Entanglement generation and steering implementation in a double-cavity-magnon hybrid system

Long‐Jiang Cong, Yi‐Xiong Luo, Zhigang Zheng +3 more

We demonstrate a scheme for the generation of bipartite and tripartite entanglement, as well as he implementation of stable and controllable long-distance one-way and asymmetric two-way steering in a cavity-magnon hybrid system. This system consists of a magnon mode and two coupled microwave cavities. The first cavity is driven by a flux-driven Josephson parametric amplifier, which generates squeezed vacuum fields, and is coupled to the other cavity through optical tunneling interaction. The second cavity and magnon mode are coupled through magnetic dipole interaction. We find that under weak coupling between the two cavities, and strong coupling between the second cavity and magnon mode, remote controllable one-way steering and tripartite entanglement can be achieved. Our scheme may have potential applications in quantum information.
