Abstract

We theoretically investigate the entanglement between two macroscopic rotating mirrors in a Laguerre-Gaussian (L-G) cavity, in which they exchange orbital angular momentum with a same L-G cavity mode, and we examine the influence of various factors such as angular frequencies of two mirrors, effective detuning, temperature and orbital angular momentum of L-G cavity mode on the entanglement. The results show that in some range of mirrors' angular frequencies the entanglement will appear and has strong robustness. And we also study the range of effective detuning and the minimum orbital angular momentum of the L-G cavity mode required to generate entanglement.

Tripartite entanglement in a Laguerre–Gaussian rotational-cavity system with an yttrium iron garnet sphere

Hao-Jie Cheng, Shu-Jie Zhou, Jia‐Xin Peng +4 more

We propose a scheme that can realize the tripartite entanglement between the Laguerre–Gaussian (L–G) cavity mode, magnon mode, and phonon (rotating) mode in a hybrid rotating cavity optomechanical system with an yttrium iron garnet sphere inside the cavity. The excited magnon mode and the L–G cavity mode are related through the magnetic dipole interaction, and the L–G cavity mode can exchange orbital angular momentum (OAM) with the rotating mirror. In this way, the magnon mode and the rotating mirror are connected through the L–G cavity mode. Our results show that physical parameters such as OAM of the L–G cavity mode, detuning of the magnon mode, and effective detuning of the cavity mode play different roles in establishing entanglements.

Rotational mirror–mirror entanglement via dissipative atomic reservoir in a double-Laguerre–Gaussian-cavity system

Fei Wang, Kang Shen, Jun Xu

Abstract We propose a new scheme to prepare macroscopic entanglement between two rotating mirrors using dissipative atomic reservoir in a double-Laguerre–Gaussian-cavity system. The two-level atomic system driven by a strong field, acts as a single pathway of Bogoliubov dissipation to push the two original cavity modes into the desirable entangled state under the near-resonant conditions. Successively, the photon–photon entanglement can be transferred to mirror–mirror entanglement through the exchange of orbital angular momentum. In essence, the macroscopic entanglement is originated from the dissipative atomic reservoir rather than the radiation torque, thereby it is usually robust against environmental noises. The present scheme provides a feasible way to realize stable entanglement between spatially separated mirrors with high capacity, which may find potential applications in remote quantum communications.

Quantum squeezed-reservoir engineering in Laguerre-Gaussian cavity optomechanics

Rongfang Liu, Jun‐Hong An

Entanglement and squeezing are two useful resources in quantum technologies. Recent studies have increasingly focused on generating these nonclassical features in macroscopic objects. However, establishing entanglement and squeezing in the degrees of freedom of mechanical motion of macroscopic objects is generally hindered by thermal fluctuations of their environments. Here, we propose a scheme to generate steady-state squeezing and entanglement between two rotating mirrors of a Laguerre-Gaussian cavity by quantum squeezed-reservoir engineering. It is revealed that, by injecting a broadband squeezed light into the cavity, stable squeezing in the relative momentum and entanglement between the two rotating mirrors are created. Compared to the previous work where only the entanglement between the two rotating mirrors appears under the condition of different angular frequencies, our result highlights the stable entanglement of the two mirrors with identical frequency and the simultaneous presence of the entanglement and squeezing of the two mirrors. Our finding deepens our understanding of macroscopic quantum phenomena of Laguerre-Gaussian cavity optomechanical system.

Entanglement and quantum coherence of two YIG spheres in a hybrid Laguerre–Gaussian cavity optomechanics

Abdelkader Hidki, Jia‐Xin Peng, S. K. Singh +2 more

We theoretically investigate continuous variable entanglement and macroscopic quantum coherence in the hybrid L-G rotational cavity optomechanical system containing two YIG spheres. In this system, a single L-G cavity mode and both magnon modes (which are due to the collective excitation of spins in two YIG spheres) are coupled through the magnetic dipole interaction whereas the L-G cavity mode can also exchange orbital angular momentum (OAM) with the rotating mirror (RM). We study in detail the effects of various physical parameters like cavity and both magnon detunings, environment temperature, optorotational and magnon coupling strengths on the bipartite entanglement and the macroscopic quantum coherence as well. We also explore parameter regimes to achieve maximum values for both of these quantum correlations. We also observed that the parameters regime for achieving maximum bipartite entanglement is completely different from macroscopic quantum coherence. So, our present study shall provide a method to control various nonclassical quantum correlations of macroscopic objects in the hybrid L-G rotational cavity optomechanical system and have potential applications in quantum sensing, quantum meteorology, and quantum information science.

Enhancing the Steady-State Entanglement between a Laguerre–Gaussian-Cavity Mode and a Rotating Mirror via Cross-Kerr Nonlinearity

Guilin Lai, Sumei Huang, Li Deng +1 more

Quantum entanglement will play an important role in future quantum technologies. Here, we theoretically study the steady-state entanglement between a cavity field and a macroscopic rotating mirror in a Laguerre–Gaussian-(LG)-cavity optomechanical system with cross-Kerr nonlinearity. Logarithmic negativity is used to quantify the steady-state entanglement between the cavity and mechanical modes. We analyze the impacts of the cross-Kerr coupling strength, the cavity detuning, the input laser power, the topological charge of the LG-cavity mode, and the temperature of the environment on the steady-state optomechanical entanglement. We find that cross-Kerr nonlinearity can significantly enhance steady-state optomechanical entanglement and make steady-state optomechanical entanglement more robust against the temperature of the thermal environment.

Enhanced Entanglement of the Two Cavity Modes in the Laguerre–Gaussian Cavity Optorotating System via an Optical Parametric Amplifier

Yupeng Chen, Sumei Huang, Li Deng +1 more

Quantum entanglement in macroscopic systems plays an important role in quantum information processing. Here, we show that the steady-state entanglement between the two cavity modes in the macroscopic Laguerre–Gaussian (L–G) cavity optorotating system can be enhanced by placing a degenerate optical parametric amplifier (OPA) inside the cavity. The two L–G cavity modes are coupled to the same rotating mirror and are respectively driven at the red and blue mechanical sidebands. We use the logarithmic negativity to quantify the steady-state entanglement between the two cavity modes. We study the influences of the nonlinear gain and phase of the OPA, the temperature of the environment, and the angular momentums of the two cavity modes on the entanglement between the two cavity modes. In the cryogenic environment temperatures, when the angular momentums of the two cavity modes are identical, the enhancement of the entanglement between the two cavity modes by the OPA is the most significant.
