“…Cavity optomechanics is an emerging field exploring the interaction between light and mechanical motion in a cavity, which has found broad applications in testing macroscopic quantum physics, high-precision measurements, and quantum information processing [88][89][90][91][92][93]. The optomechanical interaction originates from the mechanical effect of light, i.e.…”

Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT)is a quantum interference effect arising from different transition pathways of optical fields. Within the transparency window, both absorption and dispersion properties strongly change, which results in extensive applications such as slow light and optical storage. Due to the ultrahigh quality factors, massive production on a chip and convenient all-optical control, optical microcavities provide an ideal platform for realizing EIT. Here we review the principle and recent development of EIT in optical microcavities. We focus on the following three situations. First, for a coupled-cavity system, all-optical EIT appears when the optical modes in different cavities couple to each other. Second, in a single microcavity, all-optical EIT is created when interference happens between two optical modes. Moreover, the mechanical oscillation of the microcavity leads to optomechanically induced transparency. Then the applications of EIT effect in microcavity systems are discussed, including light delay and storage, sensing, and field enhancement. A summary is then given in the final part of the paper.

“…As the SQ only strongly couples with the normal mode b, the steady state of SQ will approach to the ground state |g . If the SQ is initially in a mixture of |g and |e states, we can cool it to the ground state |g by driving the red sideband of the optical cavity [29][30][31][32][33]. If the initial state of the SQ involves mixture of other states, these other states can be first driven to the state |e through a microwave filed and then decay to the ground state |g by the opto-mechanical sideband cooling.…”

We propose a scheme to realize quantum networking of superconducting qubits based on the opto-mechanical interface. The superconducting qubits interact with the microwave photons, which then couple to the optical photons through the opto-mechanical interface. The interface generates a quantum link between superconducting qubits and optical flying qubits with tunable pulse shapes and carrier frequencies, enabling transmission of quantum information to other superconducting or atomic qubits. We show that the scheme works under realistic experimental conditions and it also provides a way for fast initialization of the superconducting qubits under 1 K instead of 20 mK operation temperature.

“…To facilitate applications yielding precise measurements and control features [1][2][3][4][5][6], certain quantum information processing techniques [7][8][9][10][11], quantum foundations [12][13][14], etc., it is necessary to prepare an oscillator in an almost pure state close to the zero-point vibration. Therefore, techniques for ground-state cooling that remedy the effects of stochastic driving from the thermal environment [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] are fundamentally important [24][25][26][27][28]. However, as regards attempts to realize the ground state of such an oscillator, even the 3 He/ 4 He dilution refrigerator is insufficient, unless the oscillator has very high resonant frequency (GHz) [18,29].…”

In the optomechanical cooling of a dispersively coupled oscillator, it is only possible to reach the oscillator ground state in the resolved sideband regime, where the cavity-mode line width is smaller than the resonant frequency of the mechanical oscillator being cooled. In this paper, we show that the dispersively coupled system can be cooled to the ground state in the unresolved sideband regime using an ancillary oscillator, which is coupled to the same optical mode via dissipative interaction. The ancillary oscillator has a resonant frequency close to that of the target oscillator; thus, the ancillary oscillator is also in the unresolved sideband regime. We require only a single blue-detuned laser mode to drive the cavity.
