Heralded single-phonon preparation, storage, and readout in cavity optomechanics.
We show how to use the radiation pressure optomechanical coupling between a mechanical oscillator and an optical cavity field to generate in a heralded way a single quantum of mechanical motion (a Fock state). Starting with the oscillator close to its ground state, a laser pumping the upper motional sideband produces correlated photon-phonon pairs via optomechanical parametric down-conversion. ...
متن کاملHeralded preparation and readout of entangled phonons in a photonic crystal cavity.
We propose a realistic protocol for the preparation and readout of mechanical Bell states in an optomechanical system. The proposal relies on parameters characterizing a photonic crystal cavity mode, coupled to two localized flexural modes of the structure, but equally applies to other optomechanical systems in the same parameter range. The nonclassical states are heralded via optical postselec...
متن کاملCavity-based single atom preparation and high-fidelity hyperfine state readout.
We prepare and detect the hyperfine state of a single 87Rb atom coupled to a fiber-based high-finesse cavity on an atom chip. The atom is extracted from a Bose-Einstein condensate and trapped at the maximum of the cavity field, resulting in a reproducibly strong atom-cavity coupling. We use the cavity reflection and transmission signal to infer the atomic hyperfine state with a fidelity exceedi...
متن کاملPhoton-phonon-photon transfer in optomechanics
We consider transfer of a highly nonclassical quantum state through an optomechanical system. That is we investigate a protocol consisting of sequential upload, storage and reading out of the quantum state from a mechanical mode of an optomechanical system. We show that provided the input state is in a test-bed single-photon Fock state, the Wigner function of the recovered state can have negati...
متن کاملClassical Analysis of Cavity Optomechanics
We present a classical analysis of a mechanical oscillator subject to the radiation pressure force due to light circulating inside a driven optical cavity. Our analysis is related to the problem of cooling an optomechanical setup to degrees near the ground state of mechanical motion according to quantum theory. Achieving this could provide an insight into quantum phenomena occurring in macro-sc...
