We propose a multiple-mechanical-mode-coupling nanomechanical system comprising three nanomechanical resonators (NRs) with different frequencies and each two NRs able to interact with each other. By weaving different NRs and controlling the coupling of NRs, the nanomechanical system can be series-, parallel-, or network-coupled nanoresonators network. Using two-tone fields to drive quantum dot implanted in one NR, we investigate the coherence optical responses and absorption spectrum manifested as a triple Fano resonance. Furthermore, each Fano resonance peak of the triple Fano resonance that induced the coherent optical propagation were demonstrated. The numerical results indicate that the slow light and the slow-to-fast light transition can be obtained by manipulating the interaction of NRs. These findings imply that the multiple-mechanical-mode coupling system can be a promising integration platform to achieve chip-scale applications in quantum information processing.

We investigate the multiple-Fano-resonance-induced fast and slow light in a hybrid nanomechanical-resonator (NR) system, where a doubly clamped suspended NR with an embedded quantum dot driven by two-tone fields is coupled to another two NRs with different frequencies via the Coulomb interaction. We display the absorption spectra of the weak probe field under different exciton-pump field detuning, and the sharp peaks in the absorption spectra are determined by the interaction between the NRs under the resonance. In the off-resonance, the absorption spectra can exhibit multiple Fano resonance, and the positions of the multiple Fano resonances are related to the interaction between the NRs and the frequencies of the different NRs. Furthermore, the multiple Fano resonances are accompanied by the rapid normal phase dispersion, which indicates the slow- and fast-light effect. We obtain that the group velocity index is tunable by the interaction between the NRs and the detuning, which can reach the conversion between the fast and slow light.
We theoretically propose a hybrid nanomechanical resonator (NR) system, where a doubly clamped suspended NR with an embedded quantum dot driven by two-tone fields is coupled to another NR via the Coulomb interaction, and we investigate the absorption spectra of the probe field under different exciton-pump field detuning. In the condition of pump on-resonance, the absorption spectrum gives a method to determine the coupling strength of the two NRs. In the pump off resonance, the absorption spectra exhibit double-Fano resonance, which is determined by the interaction of the two NRs, the frequencies of the two NRs, as well as the pump detuning. Furthermore, the double-Fano resonances are accompanied by the rapid normal phase dispersion, which indicates the slow- and fast-light effect. The results show that the group velocity index is tunable by the interaction of the two NRs, the detuning, and the different resonator frequencies, which can achieve the conversion from fast light to slow light.
Hybrid spin-mechanical systems offer a promising platform for advancing quantum science and technology. However, practical implementation of applications within these hybrid quantum systems demands the seamless integration of supplementary physical components. In this context, we present a proposal for a multi-mode spin-mechanical setup, featuring the utilization of three-mode coupling nanomechanical carbon nanotube (CNT) resonators. These resonators interact with each other via a phase-dependent phonon-exchange mechanism, which is coupled to the same nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond. Based on the modulation of the phonon–phonon coupling phase and leveraging the triple Fano-like resonance phenomenon, a tripling of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) becomes achievable within the system. This tripling is accompanied by swift dispersion, leading to a subtle advancement or delay in outcomes. The phenomenon of triple Fano-like resonance, alongside the resulting triple EIT, engenders noteworthy slow-to-fast and fast-to-slow light effects, which is theoretically demonstrated in CNT resonators, with both identical and distinct frequencies. The findings underscore that CNT resonators with varying frequencies can evoke a more pronounced transition in the slow–fast–slow and fast–slow–fast light effects. This study lays the foundation for the application of phonon-mediated optical information storage and processing.
Abstract We propose a hybrid nanomechanical resonator (NR) system, where a NR coupled to an embedded quantum dot (QD) driven by two-tone fields is also coupled to another NR via the Coulomb interaction, and investigate the absorption spectra of the probe field under both the condition of resonance and off-resonance. The absorption spectra in resonance presents a means to determine the coupling strength of the two NRs. In the off-resonance, the absorption spectra can exhibit double Fano resonance, and the positions of the double Fano resonances are related to the interaction of the two NRs, the frequencies of the NRs, and the pump detuning. Furthermore, the double Fano resonances are accompanied by the rapid normal phase dispersion, which indicates the slow- and fast-light effect. We can obtain that the group velocity index is tunable by the interaction between the two NRs, the detuning, and the different resonator frequencies, which can reach the conversion from the fast light to slow light.
We theoretically propose a loop-coupled multimode optomechanical system (OMS) with a single-mode cavity, a two-level system (TLS), and a mechanical resonator, which are coupled to each other. With controlled coupling parameters, the loop-coupled multimode OMS can flexibly transform into different OMSs (e.g. cavity OMSs, cavity quantum electrodynamic systems). By simultaneously driving the single-mode cavity using pump and probe fields, we investigate the coherent optical response and transmission spectra for the transparent window and absorption dips. Additionally, the transparent window and absorption dips that induce coherent light propagation were demonstrated. Our findings demonstrate that the transparent window and absorption dips can generate slow (fast) light, and that the control of coupling parameters can modulate optical fields in different OMSs. With further weaving of these coupling parameters, the loop-coupled multimode OMS can be a quantum information processing platform for chip-scale applications.
We theoretically propose a multiple-mode-coupling hybrid quantum system comprising two-mode-coupling nanomechanical carbon nanotube (CNT) resonators realized by a phase-dependent phonon-exchange interaction interacting with the same nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond. We investigate the coherent optical responses of the NV center under the condition of resonance and detuning. In particular, two-color electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) can be achieved by controlling the system parameters and coupling regimes. Combining the spin-phonon interactions and phonon-phonon coupling with the modulation phase, the switching of one and two EIT windows has been demonstrated, which generates a light delay or advance. The slow-to-fast and fast-to-slow light transitions have been studied in different coupling regimes, and the switch between slow and fast light can be controlled periodically by tuning the modulation phase. The study can be applied to phonon-mediated optical information storage or information processing with spin qubits based on multiple-mode hybrid quantum systems.
