Synchronisation of micro-mechanical oscillators inside one cavity using feedback control

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to develop a systematic approach towards synchronisation of two micro-mechanical oscillators inside one optical cavity using feedback control. We first obtain the linear quantum stochastic state space model for the optomechanical system considered in this paper. Then we design a measurement-based optimal controller, aimed at achieving complete quantum synchronisation of the two mechanical oscillators with different natural frequencies, in the linear quadratic Gaussian setting. In addition, simulation results are provided, which show how system parameters impact on the control effect. These findings shed light on the synchronised network of oscillators that can be used for memory and quantum state transfer.
