An entanglement rate for continuous variables and its application to a resonant optomechanical multimode setup

Abstract

We introduce a general expression that quantifies the entanglement production rate in continuous variable systems in which entanglement depends on frequency. To exemplify its meaning and potential, we apply it to a four-mode optomechanical setup that enables the simultaneous up- and down-conversion of photons from a drive laser into entangled photon pairs. This setup is efficient in that both the drive and the optomechanical up- and down-conversion can be fully resonant.

Entanglement rate for Gaussian continuous variable beams

Zhi Jiao Deng, Steven Habraken, Florian Marquardt

We derive a general expression that quantifies the total entanglement production rate in continuous variable systems, where a source emits two entangled Gaussian beams with arbitrary correlators. This expression is especially useful for situations where the source emits an arbitrary frequency spectrum, e.g. when cavities are involved. To exemplify its meaning and potential, we apply it to a four-mode optomechanical setup that enables the simultaneous up- and down-conversion of photons from a drive laser into entangled photon pairs. This setup is efficient in that both the drive and the optomechanical up- and down-conversion can be fully resonant.

Deterministic generation of bright multicolor entanglement from optomechanical systems

Keyu Xia

Entangled continuous variable (CV) Gaussian states with different wavelengths plays a central role in recent CV-based approaches to quantum network, quantum information processing and quantum metrology. Typically, experiments demonstrating CV entanglement exploit the optical parametric frequency down conversion. Due to the probabilistic nature of photon pair generation, the entanglement involving the post-selection of photonic qubits is limited to at most three colors. Here We theoretically present a scheme for the deterministic generation of entanglement among bright multicolor CV Gaussian states from an optomechanical system using existing experimental technologies. In our scheme an optical frequency comb is input into an optomechanical resonator and then the amplified optomechanical coupling makes multipartite entanglement among them. Our scheme overcomes the limitation of usable frequency of entangled CVs in frequency conversion process. It can be extended to generate multipartite entanglement between orthogonal modes with a single frequency or between microwave and optical CVs, or even among a microwave frequency comb. This optomechanical device can be integrated on a chip.

Entanglement of mechanical modes in a doubly resonant optomechanical cavity of a correlated emission laser

Mekonnen Bekele, Tewodros Yirgashewa Darge, Sintayehu Tesfa

We explore the extent of the induced entanglement of the mechanical modes that can be attributed to the transfer of coherence from two-mode cavity radiation in a doubly resonant optomechanical cavity. It is expected that this scheme can support a generation of mechanical oscillations with a robust degree of entanglement combined with significant controllability. The entanglement is found to be sensitive to the specific choices of the frequencies of the bichromatic drive laser. It also turns out that the degree of entanglement would be enhanced with increasing rates of injection of the atoms but with decreasing initial lengths of a doubly resonant cavity and atomic decay rates. In addition, the entanglement is found to behave qualitatively in the same way for the measures of entanglement we have applied. Since the scheme we considered can possibly be implemented with current technology and allows the quantum features of cavity radiation to be accessible for application, we anticipate that it can be utilized in the realization of continuous-variable quantum information processing.

Optomechanically-generated photon–phonon single pairs with both discrete- and continuous-variable entanglements

Cun Yu, Zhenshan S. Yang, Xiang‐Guo Meng +3 more

Abstract By exploiting two mechanical modes in an optomechanical resonator, photon–phonon single pairs with both discrete- and continuous-variable entanglements can be generated in a waveguide that is coupled to the resonator. The discrete- and continuous-variable entanglements in the photon–phonon pair can be independently controlled via adjusting the central frequency and spectral width of the input optical pump, respectively.

Optimizing the output-photon entanglement in multimode optomechanical systems

Zhi Jiao Deng, Xiao-Bo Yan, Ying-Dan Wang +1 more

Entangled light beams are important resources for quantum information processing. For some applications like teleportation, only the entanglement between two wave packets (two harmonic oscillators) is needed. So the calculation of output-photon entanglement involves projecting continuous output modes onto wave-packet modes by filter functions, thus resulting in a strong dependence of entanglement on the filter functions. In this paper, we aim at optimizing the filter functions to obtain a large entanglement in a relatively short time, which is important for utilizing the entangled light beams more efficiently in real experiments. We outline the general optimization procedures based on our previous schemes of generating entangled beams in a multimode optomechanical system. Moreover, we give analytic insights into as well as physical explanations of the wave-packet optimization, which are helpful for experimental estimations.
