Nonreciprocal coupling induced entanglement enhancement in a double-cavity optomechanical system

Abstract

We investigate the quantum entanglement in a double-cavity optomechanical system consisting of an optomechanical cavity and an auxiliary cavity, where the optomechanical cavity mode couples with the mechanical mode via radiation-pressure interaction, and simultaneously couples with the auxiliary cavity mode via nonreciprocal coupling. We study the entanglement between the mechanical oscillator and the cavity modes when the two cavities are reciprocally or nonreciprocally coupled. The logarithmic negativity $E_{n}^{(1)}$ ($E_{n}^{(2)}$) is adopted to describe the entanglement degree between the mechanical mode and the optomechanical cavity mode (the auxiliary cavity mode). We find that both $E_{n}^{(1)}$ and $E_{n}^{(2)}$ have maximum values in the case of reciprocal coupling. By using nonreciprocal coupling, $E_{n}^{(1)}$ and $E_{n}^{(2)}$ can exceed those maximum values, and a wider detuning region where the entanglement exists can be obtained. Moreover, the entanglement robustness with respect to the environment temperature is also effectively enhanced.

Tunable phonon–atom interaction in a hybrid optomechanical system

“…Hybrid optomechanical systems, which integrate the advantages of several systems, have become a field of interest. [34][35][36][37][38][39] In this paper, we theoretically study a hybrid optomechanical system consisting of a neutral atom and a nanoparticle levitated in an optical cavity (see Fig. 1).…”

Quantum entanglement between two antiferromagnets in the microcavities

“…In 2021, Yang et al demonstrated the enhancement of nonreciprocal quantum synchronization with strong isolation in antiferromagnet-cavity systems [31]. In addition, exploiting analytical theories and numerical simulations, it is found that compared with ferromagnetic resonance technology, antiferromagnetic resonance technologies should be more suitable for finding inherent inertial spin dynamics on ultrafast time scales [32].…”
