Abstract

We study reservoir-engineered entanglement for a cascaded bosonic system consisting of three modes, where the adjacent pairs couple to each other via both the beam-splitter interaction and the coherent parametric interaction with the interaction strengths being tunable. We focus on an optomechanical realization of the model by combining a nondegenerate parametric amplifier and an auxiliary cavity. A great steady-state cavity-mechanical entanglement can be achieved by optimizing the ratio of the interaction strengths, where the optomechanical cavity enacts the cold reservoir, simultaneously laser cooling the pair of hybrid modes delocalized over the auxiliary cavity and the mechanical oscillator. In comparison with the case of cooling a single delocalized mode, the dual-mode cooling approach allows one to obtain a greater amount of entanglement with higher cooling efficiencies and to explore strong entanglement in much broader parameter regions, where the rotating-wave approximation fails for the single-mode cooling case. Moreover, we show that the steady-state cavity-mechanical entanglement is robust to the mechanical thermal noise of the high temperature. The improved reservoir engineering approach can potentially be generalized to other bosonic systems with asymmetric beam-splitter and parametric interactions.

Generation of mechanical squeezing and entanglement via mechanical modulations

Wen-ju Gu, Zhen Yi, Lihui Sun +1 more

We discuss the generation of strong stationary mechanical squeezing and entanglement in the modulated two-and three-mode optomechanics. Following the reservoir engineering scheme, the beam-splitter and parametric optomechanical interactions can be simultaneously achieved through appropriately choosing the modulation frequency on mechanical motion, which is essential to strong squeezing and entanglement. In the two-mode modulated optomechanics, squeezing is tunable by the relative ratio of parametric and beam-splitter couplings, and also robust to thermal noise due to the simultaneously optically induced cooling process. In the three-mode modulated optomechanics, strong EPR-type entanglement is also attainable, which can surpass the 3dB limit of nondegenerate parametric interaction. However, the ideal entanglement is impossible since only one of mechanical Bogoliubov modes is cooled by the cavity mode, which also makes the entanglement fragile to the mechanical noise.

Reservoir Engineering Strong Magnomechanical Entanglement via Dual‐Mode Cooling

Zhiqiang Liu, Yun Liu, Lei Tan +1 more

Abstract A hybrid cavity magnomechanical system to transfer the bipartite entanglements and achieve the strong microwave photon–phonon entanglement based on the reservoir engineering approach is constructed. The magnon mode is coupled to the microwave cavity mode via magnetic dipole interaction and to the phonon mode via magnetostrictive force (optomechanical‐like). It is shown that the initial magnon‐phonon entanglement can be transferred to the photon‐phonon subspace in the case of these two interactions cooperating. In the reservoir‐engineering parameter regime, the initial entanglement is directionally transferred to the photon‐phonon subsystem, so a strong bipartite entanglement in which the magnon mode acts as the cold reservoir to effectively cool the Bogoliubov mode delocalized over the cavity and the mechanical deformation mode is obtained. Moreover, dual‐mode cooling is realized by engineering the dissipation of photon and phonon modes within the target mode, which allows entanglement to be further enhanced. The results indicate that the steady‐state entanglement is robust against temperature. The dual‐mode cooling reservoir engineering scheme can potentially be extended to other three‐mode quantum systems.

Reservoir-engineered entanglement in a hybrid modulated three-mode optomechanical system

Chang-Geng Liao, Rongxin Chen, Hong Xie +1 more

We propose an effective approach for generating highly pure and strong cavity-mechanical entanglement (or optical-microwave entanglement) in a hybrid modulated three-mode optomechanical system. By applying two-tone driving to the cavity and modulating the coupling strength between two mechanical oscillators (or between a mechanical oscillator and a transmission line resonator), we obtain an effective Hamiltonian where an intermediate mechanical mode acting as an engineered reservoir cools the Bogoliubov modes of two target system modes via beam-splitter-like interactions. In this way, the two target modes are driven to two-mode squeezed states in the stationary limit. In particular, we discuss the effects of cavity-driving detuning on the entanglement and the purity. It is found that the cavity-driving detuning plays a critical role in the goal of acquiring highly pure and strongly entangled steady states.

Reservoir-Engineered Entanglement in Optomechanical Systems

Ying-Dan Wang, Aashish A. Clerk

We show how strong steady-state entanglement can be achieved in a three-mode optomechanical system (or other parametrically coupled bosonic system) by effectively laser cooling a delocalized Bogoliubov mode. This approach allows one to surpass the bound on the maximum stationary intracavity entanglement possible with a coherent two-mode squeezing interaction. In particular, we find that optimizing the relative ratio of optomechanical couplings, rather than simply increasing their magnitudes, is essential for achieving strong entanglement. Unlike typical dissipative entanglement schemes, our results cannot be described by treating the effects of the entangling reservoir via a Linblad master equation.

The scheme may provides potential applications for quantum information processing, and is expected to be extended to other three-mode systems.

Dissipation-driven entanglement between two microwave fields in a four-mode hybrid cavity optomechanical system

Chang-Geng Liao, Xiao Shang, Hong Xie +1 more

The generation and manipulation of highly pure and strongly entangled steady state in a quantum system are vital tasks in the standard continuous-variable teleportation protocol. Especially, the manipulation implemented in integrated devices is even more crucial in practical quantum information applications. Here we propose an effective approach for creating steady-state entanglement between two microwave fields in a four-mode hybrid cavity optomechanical system. The entanglement can be achieved by combining the processes of three beam-splitter interactions and two parametric-amplifier interactions. Due to the dissipation-driven and cavity cooling processes, the entanglement obtained can go far beyond the entanglement limit based on coherent parametric coupling. Moreover, our proposal allows the engineered bath to cool both Bogoliubov modes almost simultaneously. In this way, a highly pure and strongly entangled steady state of two microwave modes is obtained. Our finding may be significant for using the hybrid opto-electro-mechanical system fabricated on chips in various quantum tasks, where the strong and pure entanglement is an important resource.
