Abstract

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.

Enhanced entanglement of two optical modes in optomechanical systems via an optical parametric amplifier

Rong-Guo Yang, Ni Li, Jing Zhang +2 more

Abstract We investigate the effect of a degenerate optical parametric amplifier (OPA) placed inside an optomechanical cavity on the steady-state entanglement of two cavity modes, which jointly interact with a mechanical resonator. Two cavity modes are, respectively, driven at the red and blue sideband associated with the mechanical resonator, which generates entanglement between them in the limit of resolved sideband. The OPA gives rise to single-mode squeezing of the cavity fields, which results in significant improvement of the two-mode entanglement. It is found that an optimal nonlinear gain of the OPA exists, depending on the system temperatures, which yields the maximum entanglement. The improvement is particularly remarkable for the system at cryogenic temperatures.

Improving macroscopic entanglement with nonlocal mechanical squeezing

Chang‐Sheng Hu, Xinyu Lin, Li-Tuo Shen +4 more

We report an efficient mechanism to generate mechanical entanglement in a two-cascaded cavity optomechanical system with optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs) inside the two coupled cavities. We use the especially tuned OPAs to squeeze the hybrid mode composed of two mechanical modes, leading to strong macroscopic entanglement between the two movable mirrors. The squeezing parameter as well as the effective mechanical damping are both modulated by the OPA gains. The optimal degree of mechanical entanglement therefore depends on the balanced process between coherent hybrid mode squeezing and dissipation engineering. The mechanical entanglement is robust to strong cavity decay, going beyond simply resolved sideband regime, and is resistant to reasonable high thermal noise. The scheme provides an alternative way for generating strong macroscopic entanglement in cascaded optomechanical systems.

Stationary Entanglement between Two Rotating Mirrors in a Laguerre–Gaussian Rotational‐Cavity Optomechanical System with an Optical Parametric Amplifier

Sumei Huang, Li Deng, Aixi Chen

Abstract Generation of entanglement between macroscale mechanical oscillators is challenging yet important for future quantum technologies. Here, the possibility of creating a steady‐state entanglement between two rotating mirrors in a Laguerre–Gaussian (LG) rotational‐cavity optomechanical system by placing an especially tuned degenerate optical parametric amplifier (OPA) inside the cavity is theoretically explored. In the resolved‐sideband regime, a LG cavity mode is driven by a Gaussian laser beam tuned to the first lower mechanical sideband. The Duan quantity and the logarithmic negativity is used to study the stationary entanglement between two rotating mirrors. The influence of the parametric gain and phase of the OPA, the input laser power, the temperature of the environment, and the topological charge of the LG cavity mode on the mechanical entanglement are investigated. The achievable maximal degree of entanglement is limited by the parametric gain of the OPA.

Steady-state entanglement in a hybrid optomechanical system enhanced by optical parametric amplifiers

Abraham Abebe Kibret, Tewodros Yirgashewa Darge, Tesfay Gebremariam Tesfahannes

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 .

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.

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.
