Abstract

We investigate the entanglement and mechanical squeezing of a hybrid system formed by two two-level atomic ensembles and a dissipative optomechanical system driven by two lasers. We find the entanglement of two atomic ensembles can be adjusted by the dissipative and dispersive couplings of the system. If the dispersive coupling is taken into account, the maximal entanglement between atomic ensembles could be larger than that of the purely dissipative case. Then, we show that there is steady-state entanglement in the present dissipative optomechanics systems and it increases with the mechanical oscillator decay rate and driving laser power. Finally, a strong mechanical squeezing of more than 3[Formula: see text]dB is generated in the dissipative atom-photomechanical hybrid systems.

Large mechanical squeezing beyond 3dB of hybrid atom-optomechanical systems in a highly unresolved sideband regime

Jian-Song Zhang, Aixi Chen

We propose a scheme for the generation of strong mechanical squeezing beyond 3dB in hybrid atom-optomechanical systems in the highly unresolved sideband (HURSB) regime where the decay rate of cavity is much larger than the frequency of the mechanical oscillator. The system is formed by two two-level atomic ensembles and an optomechanical system with cavity driven by two lasers with different amplitudes. In the HURSB regime, the squeezing of the movable mirror can not be larger than 3dB if no atomic ensemble or only one atomic ensemble is put into the optomechanical system. However, if two atomic ensembles are put into the optomechanical system, the strong mechanical squeezing beyond 3dB is achieved even in the HURSB regime. Our scheme paves the way toward the implementation of strong mechanical squeezing beyond 3dB in hybrid atom-optomechanical systems in experiments.

Quadrature-squeezed light and optomechanical entanglement in a dissipative optomechanical system with a mechanical parametric drive

Sumei Huang, Aixi Chen

We propose a scheme for producing the phase squeezing of the output light in a dissipative optomechanical coupling system. This is achieved by applying a degenerate parametric drive on the mechanical oscillator. We also show that this scheme is capable of generating the stationary entanglement between an optical cavity field and a macroscopic mechanical oscillator. The effects of the strength of the mechanical parametric drive, the power of the input laser, the temperature of the environment on the output phase squeezing, and the optomechanical entanglement are investigated. For a temperature of 20 mK, we find that up to 9 dB of the output phase squeezing and the large optomechanical entanglement can be achieved.

Strong mechanical squeezing and optomechanical entanglement in a dissipative double-cavity system via pump modulation

Wen-Jie Zhang, Yuchi Zhang, Qi Guo +3 more

We consider a dissipative cavity optomechanical system which couples to an auxiliary cavity with a high-quality factor and is driven by an amplitude-modulated laser field. Due to the introduction of the auxiliary cavity, we find that the steady-state mechanical squeezing can be enhanced compared to the case without an auxiliary cavity and the so-called 3 dB limit can also be broken in the resolved-sideband regime. Moreover, the squeezing can also be achieved even in the unresolved-sideband regime. We study the optomechanical entanglement in the presented system. It is found that the enhanced entanglement can be obtained by introducing the auxiliary cavity, and the entanglement can also be generated in the unresolved-sideband regime for appropriate system parameters. Numerical results show that the presented schemes have strong robustness against the thermal noise acting on the mechanical mode.

Atomic quadrature squeezing and quantum state transfer in a hybrid atom–optomechanical cavity with two Duffing mechanical oscillators

Farzaneh Momeni, M. H. Naderi

In this paper, we investigate theoretically the quantum state transfer in a laser-driven hybrid optomechanical cavity with two Duffing-like anharmonic movable end mirrors containing an ensemble of identical two-level trapped atoms. The quantum state transfer from the Bogoliubov modes of the two anharmonic oscillators to the atomic mode results in the atomic quadrature squeezing beyond the standard quantum limit of 3 dB, which can be controlled by both the optomechanical and atom-field coupling strengths. Interestingly, the generated atomic squeezing can be made robust against the noise sources by means of the Duffing anharmonicity. Moreover, the results reveal that the presence of the Duffing anharmonicity provides the possibility of transferring strongly squeezed states between the two mechanical oscillators in a short operating time and with high fidelity.

Effects of driven atomic ensemble on the output spectrum and entanglement of optomechanical system

Burabigul Yakup, Yi-Fang Ren, Mamat Ali Bake +1 more

This paper considers an indirect driving model of a cavity QED system in which the left cavity wall consists of a large ensemble of two-level atoms driven by a classical laser field at a specific resonant frequency, inducing an effective drive for the optomechanical system. We investigate the effects of the atomic ensemble on the output intensity squeezing spectrum and the entanglement between the optical and mechanical modes. Our results show that both the coupling between the atomic ensemble and the cavity mode and the excitation level of the atomic ensemble significantly influences the output spectrum and the entanglement. The theoretical model presented in this paper provides deeper insight into the mechanisms governing correlations and squeezing spectra in conventional optomechanical systems.

Enhancing entanglement and steering in a hybrid atom–optomechanical system via Duffing nonlinearity

Li Dong, Xiaojie Wu, Cheng‐Hua Bai +1 more

Abstract We introduce a novel scheme for achieving quantum entanglement and Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) steering between an atomic ensemble and a mechanical oscillator within a hybrid atom–optomechanical system. The system comprises an optical cavity, a two-level atomic ensemble and a mechanical resonator that possesses Duffing nonlinearity. The interaction between these components is mediated by the cavity mode, which is driven by an external laser. Our findings indicate that optimizing the coupling strengths between photons and phonons, as well as between atoms and the cavity, leads to maximal entanglement and EPR steering. The amplitude of the driving laser plays a pivotal role in enhancing the coupling between photons and phonons, and the system maintains robust entanglement and EPR steering even under high dissipation, thereby mitigating the constraints on initial conditions and parameter precision. Remarkably, the Duffing nonlinearity enhances the system’s resistance to thermal noise, ensuring its stability and entanglement protection. Our analysis of EPR steering conditions reveals that the party with lower dissipation exhibits superior stability and a propensity to steer the party with higher dissipation. These discoveries offer novel perspectives for advancing quantum information processing and communication technologies.
