In this work we used an arrangement consisting of Cooper pairs (Cooper Pair Box, CPB) interacting with a nanomechanical Resonator (NR) for various studies: to produce controlable holes in the statistical distribution of excitations of the NR, for resonant and non-resonant cases; to study the evolution of the entropy and the inversion of excitations, including losses in the CPB; and to study the evolution of the Wigner function under the infuence of a reservoir. We have obtained the exact solution of the master equation describing the non-degenerate parametric amplifier interacting with a generalized model of linear phase sensitive reservoir, having the form of the equation equivalent to that of the Fokker-Planck propagator for the Wigner function. We have calculated the Wigner function describing the temporal evolution of a state initially in a superposition of two coherent states, a kind of "Schr?odinger cat", and finally, we have also studied the temporal evolution of the negativity of this function, one of the indicators of nonclassicality of vibrational states of the NR.
We propose a scheme for generating squeezed states in solid state circuits consisting of a nanomechanical resonator (NMR), a superconducting Cooper-pair box (CPB) and a superconducting transmission line resonator (STLR). The nonlinear interaction between the NMR and the STLR can be implemented by setting the external biased flux of the CPB at certain values. The interaction Hamiltonian between the NMR and the STLR is derived by performing Fr
o¨hlich transformation on the total Hamiltonian of the combined system. Just by adiabatically keeping the CPB at the ground state, we get the standard parametric down-conversion Hamiltonian. The CPB plays the role of ``nonlinear media", and the squeezed states of the NMR can be easily generated in a manner similar to the three-wave mixing in quantum optics. This is the three-wave mixing in a solid-state circuit.
We propose and study an active cooling mechanism for the nanomechanical resonator (NAMR) based on periodical coupling to a Cooper pair box (CPB), which is implemented by a designed series of magnetic flux pluses threading through the CPB. When the initial phonon number of the NAMR is not too large, this cooling protocol is efficient in decreasing the phonon number by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude. Our proposal is theoretically universal in cooling various boson systems of a single mode. It can be specifically generalized to prepare the nonclassical state of the NAMR.
