Abstract

In this study, we theoretically investigate the possibility of entanglement generation and swapping between different modes of coupled optomechanical arrays in the presence of OPA nonlinearity. As can be seen, in this setup, the presence of OPA media, which can increase the mean photon number and consequently the optomechanical coupling constant, lead to stronger entanglement between adjacent and distant modes of optomechanical systems in comparison with bare ones. Moreover, by using these nonlinear media, the steady state entanglement between different modes of arrays in stable regime becomes more robust against temperature.

We theoretically investigate the possibility to generate nonclassical states of optical and mechanical modes of optical cavities, distant from each other. A setup comprised of two identical cavities, each with one fixed and one movable mirror and coupled by an optical fiber, is studied in detail. We show that with such a setup there is potential to generate entanglement between the distant cavities, involving both optical and mechanical modes. The scheme is robust with respect to dissipation, and nonlocal correlations are found to exist in the steady state at finite temperatures.

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 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.

Enhancing quantum correlations in an optomechanical system via cross-Kerr nonlinearity

Subhadeep Chakraborty, Amarendra K. Sarma

In this work, we theoretically study the quantum correlations present in an optomechanical system by invoking an additional cross-Kerr-type coupling between the optical and mechanical modes. Under experimentally achievable conditions, we first show that a significant enhancement of the steady-state entanglement could be achieved at a considerably lower driving power, which is also extremely robust with respect to the system parameters and environmental temperature. We then employ Gaussian quantum discord (QD) as a more genuine measure of the quantumness of the correlation. We find that in the presence of cross-Kerr nonlinearity, QD becomes more robust and survives up to a much higher number of thermal phonons as compared to the optomechanical entanglement.

Generation of Enhanced and Robust bipartite optomechanical entanglement via an auxiliary qubit induced quadratic mechanical nonlinearity

Subhadeep Chakraborty, Amarendra K. Sarma

We present a scheme for obtaining steady-state optomechanical entanglement in an optomechanical system, in which the mechanical mirror is perturabatively coupled to an auxiliary qubit. The coupling between the mechanical oscillator and the single qubit results in a quadratic mechanical nonlinear term in the Hamiltonian describing the system. We find that the mechanical nonlinearity not only enhances the degree of optomechanical entanglement but also generate it at a considerably lower optomechanical coupling strength. We observe that the degree of entanglement decreases monotonically with increasing temperature. However, the maximum temperature up to which entanglement persists increase with increasing nonlinear amplitude. Thus, the bipartite entanglement in presence of the mechanical nonlinearity becomes more robust against thermal phonon fluctuations.

Dissipative optomechanical preparation of non-Gaussian mechanical entanglement

Gentil Dias de Moraes Neto, Víctor Montenegro

Entanglement had played a crucial role in developing frontier technologies as a critical resource, for instance, in quantum teleportation and quantum sensing schemes. Notably, thanks to the ability to cool down the vibrational modes of mechanical oscillators to its quantum regime, entanglement between mechanical modes and the production of nonclassical mechanical states have emerged as central resources for quantum technological applications. Thus, proposing deterministic schemes to achieve those tasks is of paramount importance. While the dominant scheme for bipartite mechanical entanglement involves Gaussian optomechanical interactions (linearized regime) to generate two-mode squeezed vacuum states, entangling two-modes exploiting the bare non-Gaussian optomechanical interaction (nonlinear strong single-photon regime) remains less covered. This work proposes an on-demand scheme to engineer phononic non-Gaussian bipartite entanglement in the nonlinear regime by exploiting cavity dissipation. Interestingly, our protocol (operating in the resolved sideband and photon blockade regime) renders the possibility of achieving a high degree of steady-state entanglement. We further show that our deterministic scheme is robust in the presence of decoherence and temperature within state-of-the-art optomechanics, along with the required conditions to obtain non-Gaussianity of the achieved bipartite mechanical steady-state.
