Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the degree of steady-state entanglement using a hybrid optomechanical system, where the separate cavities contain a degenerate optical parametric amplifier (DOPA). Particularly, under the linearization approximation, the steady-state entanglement is quantified through logarithmic negativity. The bipartite entanglement between cavity-mechanical oscillator modes and two cavity modes is analyzed through the applicable choice of nonlinear gain of OPA, optical cavity detuning, and cavity-cavity coupling strength. It is found that the steady-state entanglement increases with the nonlinear gain of OPA medium and normalized detuning. We further emphasize the influence of cavity-cavity coupling parameter on the bipartite entanglement, and the generation of entanglement can be transferred entirely due to the coupling strengths. The main contribution of coupling parameters on the entanglement of the two modes of mechanical oscillators significantly altered and increased. The observed possibility of transferring the emerging entanglement of the states of light in the two cavities to the modes of the accompanying mechanical oscillators is expected to be a valuable asset in the practical realization of quantum information processing .

Enhancing Bipartite Entanglement via Optical Parametric Amplifier in an Optomechanical Device

Sisay Belachew, Firomsa Feyissa

On this paper, we present an in depth evaluation of the bipartite entanglement of cavity radiation from the optomechanical device with an optical parametric amplifier (OPA) placed inside two cavity mode, which together have interaction with a mechanical resonator. Right here by linearizing the equations of motion, we set the entanglement gift inside the gadget, the use of the logarithmic negativity as a degree. We thereby symbolize the adjustments inside the machine entanglement that result from the addition of an quadratic coupling to a linearly coupled gadget. With the assist of the optical parametric amplifier, the desk bounds macroscopic entanglement between the movable replicate and the hollow space subject can be mainly more suitable, and the degree of entanglement increases while the parametric gain increases as well as input laser electricity will increase. For that reason, while an optical parametric amplifier is delivered inside a hollow space, which leads to extensive improvement of the two-mode entanglement. These results establish a promising theoretical basis for optical parametric amplifier (OPA) more suitable bipartite entanglement of optomechanical device for quantum technology and advanced quantum information processing applications.

Bipartite entanglement generation in an electro-optomechanical ring cavity via charge-mediated coupling

Fouad Essaadi, Yassine Oussarhan, S. Mouslih +5 more

We present a theoretical investigation of quantum entanglement enhancement in an electro-optomechanical system comprising a ring cavity with two Coulomb-coupled mechanical resonators and an embedded optical parametric amplifier (OPA). The system dynamics are governed by radiation pressure interactions between the optical field and mechanical modes, modified by both the Coulomb coupling and OPA-induced squeezing. Through a comprehensive quantum Langevin analysis and linearization approach, we demonstrate how these competing interactions can be exploited to generate and control entanglement. Our key finding is that the Coulomb interaction strength is fundamental for generating bipartite entanglement, both between directly coupled mechanical modes and, more remarkably, between optical and mechanical modes, thereby influencing the entire system. The OPA parameters, namely the gain and phase, provide powerful control knobs for entanglement optimization. Notably, the OPA enhances entanglement robustness against thermal noise, resulting in stronger quantum correlations. We quantify these effects through covariance matrix methods and logarithmic negativity measures. The study provides new insights into hybrid optomechanical entanglement generation, showing how combined charge-mediated coupling and optical squeezing can overcome typical limitations of purely optomechanical systems. These results offer practical guidelines for experimental implementations in quantum information processing and macroscopic quantum state engineering, particularly in systems where environmental noise and parameter stability are critical concerns.

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.

Generation and Enhancement of Bipartite and Tripartite Entanglement in an Electro-Optomechanical Ring Cavity

Fouad Essaadi, Yassine Oussarhan, Mohamed Ouhammou +4 more

This study investigates the generation and enhancement of quantum entanglement in an electro-optomechanical ring cavity system. The setup integrates two Coulomb-coupled mechanical resonators, which serve as the fundamental mechanism for the generation of bipartite and tripartite entanglement via charge mediated coupling. We then demonstrate the significant enhancement of this entanglement via a nonlinear parametric drive (an optical parametric amplifier, OPA), which injects a controllable nonlinearity into the cavity. We derive the system's Hamiltonian and the corresponding quantum Langevin equations, which are linearized around steady-state solutions to analyze Gaussian quantum fluctuations. Employing the covariance matrix formalism, we quantify bipartite entanglement via logarithmic negativity and tripartite entanglement via the minimum residual contangle. Our results unequivocally show that while the Coulomb interaction is indispensable for creating entanglement, the OPA acts as a powerful control tool, dramatically amplifying the degree of quantum correlations for all subsystems. We find that the strength of entanglement is highly sensitive to several parameters and can be optimized through the strategic selection of the OPA's gain and phase, the laser detuning, and the input power. A key finding is the existence of a trade-off, where parameters that maximize entanglement also constrain the stable operating regime of the system. Furthermore, thermal noise is shown to progressively degrade all quantum correlations, underscoring the necessity for low-temperature operation. These findings provide comprehensive guidance for parameter optimization, outlining a clear path from generation to enhancement, and highlight the potential of such hybrid systems as versatile platforms for controlling multipartite entanglement in quantum technologies.

Enhanced entanglement of two distant mechanical oscillators in a two-cascaded-cavity optomechanical system via optical parametric amplifier

Meimei Zhou, Sumei Huang, Li Deng +1 more

The generation of quantum entanglement in macroscopic systems remains a longstanding challenge. In this paper, we study theoretically the stationary entanglement of the two remote mechanical oscillators in a two-cascaded-cavity optomechanical system with a degenerate optical parametric amplifier (OPA) inside the first cavity. The two cavity modes in each cavity are driven at the red- and blue-sideband frequencies. The logarithmic negativity is used to quantify the amount of the stationary mechanical entanglement. We find that the stationary mechanical entanglement depends on the parametric gain and phase of the OPA, the input laser powers, the cavity decay rates, and the temperature of the environment. We show that it is possible to enhance the stationary mechanical entanglement by the use of the OPA, and the optimal enhancement of the stationary mechanical entanglement happens at the parametric phase 𝜋 / 2 of the OPA. At lower temperatures, the OPA exhibits a more significant improvement effect on the stationary mechanical entanglement.

Manifestation of classical nonlinear dynamics in optomechanical entanglement with a parametric amplifier

Chang‐Sheng Hu, Li-Tuo Shen, Zhen‐Biao Yang +3 more

Cavity optomechanical systems involving an optical parametric amplifier (OPA) can exhibit rich classical and quantum dynamical behaviors. By simply modulating the frequency of the laser pumping the OPA, we find two interesting parameter regimes, with one of them enabling us to study quantum-classical correspondence in system dynamics, while there exist no classical counterparts of the quantum features for the other. For the detuning of the laser pumping around the mechanical frequency, as the parametric gain of OPA increases to a critical value, the classical dynamics of the optical or mechanical modes can experience a transition from the regular periodic oscillation to a period-doubling motion, in which case the light-mechanical entanglement can be well studied by the logarithmic negativity and can manifest the dynamical transition the classical nonlinear dynamics. In addition, the optomechanical entanglement shows a second-order transition characteristic at the critical parametric gain. For the laser detuning being about twice the mechanical frequency, the kind of normal mode splitting comes up in the laser detuning dependence of optomechanical entanglement, which is induced by the squeezing of the optical and mechanical hybrid modes and finds no classical correspondence. The OPA-assisted optomechanical systems therefore offer a simple way to study and exploit quantum manifestations of classical nonlinear dynamics.
