We have earlier theoretically proposed a hybrid scheme of a mechanical resonator which is fabricated out of a rare-earth doped mono-crystalline structure. The rare-earth ion dopants have absorption energies which are sensitive to crystal strain, and it is thus possible to couple the ions to the bending motion of the crystal cantilever. This type of resonator can be useful for either investigating the laws of quantum physics with material objects or for applications such as sensitive force-sensors. Here, we present the design and fabrication method based on focused-ion-beam etching techniques which we have successfully employed in order to create such microscale resonators, as well as the design of the environment which will allow studying the quantum behavior of the resonators.展开更多

With the refrigeration and ground-state cooling technologies, studies of cavity optomechanics are making significant progress towards the quantum regime including non- classical state preparation, quantum state tomography, quantum information processing, and future quantum internet. With further research, it is found that abundant physical phenomena and important applications in both classical and quan- tum regimes appeal as they have a strong optomechanical nonlinearity, which essentially depends on the single-photon optomechanical coupling strength. Thus, engineering the optomechanical interactions and improving the single-photon optomechanical coupling strength become very important subjects. In this article, we first review several mechanisms, theoretically proposed for enhancing optomechanical coupling. Then, we review the experimental progresses on enhancing optomechanical coupling by optimizing its structure and fabrication process. Finally, we review how to use novel structures and materials to enhance the optomechanical coupling strength. The manipulations of the photons and phonons at the level of strong optomechanical coupling are also summarized.展开更多

Cavity optomechanical systems were predicted to exhibit rich and nontrivial effects due to the nonlinear optomechanical interaction. However, most progress during the past years have focused on the linearization of the optomechanical interaction, which ignored the intrinsic nonlinear nature of the optomechanical coupling. Exploring nonlinear optomechanical interaction is of growing interest in both classical and quantum mechanisms, and nonlinear optomechanical interaction has emerged as an important new frontier in cavity optomechanics. It enables many applications ranging from single-photon sources to generation of nonclassical states. Here, we give a brief review of these developments and discuss some of the current challenges in this field.展开更多

We find that if two control lasers with appropriate amplitudes and detunings are applied to drive the system, optomechanically induced amplification of a probe laser can occur. In addition, perfect optomechanieally induced transparency, which is robust to mechanical dissipation, can be realized by the same type of driving. These results indicate important progress toward signal amplification, light storage, fast light, and slow light in quantum information processes.展开更多

Different from the traditional force–distance measurement, due to a resonant frequency shift or a peak splitting on the probe spectrum, we have proposed a convenient method to measure the van der Waals force strength and interaction energy via nonlinear spectroscopy. The minimum force value can reach approximately 10^(-15) N, which is 3 to 4 orders of magnitude smaller than the widely applied atomic force microscope(AFM). It is also shown that two adjacent molecules with similar chemical structures and nearly equal vibrational frequencies can be easily distinguished by the splitting of the transparency peak. Based on this coupled optomechanical system, we also conceptually design a tunable optical switch by van der Waals interaction. Our results will provide new approaches for understanding the complex and dynamic interactions inmolecule–plasmon systems.展开更多

The principle of the idea is to design suitable control fields to steer the Lyapunov control function to zero as t → ∞ while the quantum system is driven to the target state. Such an evolution makes no limit on the initial state and one needs not manipulate the laser pulses during the evolution. To prove the effectiveness of the scheme, we show two useful applications in the optomechanics system: one is the cooling of nanomechanical resonator and the other is the quantum fluctuation transfer between membranes. Numerical simulation demonstrates that the perfect and fast cooling of nanomechanical resonator and quantum fluctuation transfer between membranes can be rapidly achieved. Besides, some optimizations are made on the traditional Lyapunov control waveform and the optimized bang–bang control fields makes Lyapunov function V decrease faster. The optimized quantum control scheme can achieve the same goal with greater efficiency. Hence, we hope that this work may open a new avenue of the experimental realization of cooling mechanical oscillator, quantum fluctuations transfer between membranes and other quantum optomechanics tasks and become an alternative candidate for quantum manipulation of macroscopic mechanical devices in the near future.展开更多

文摘Measuring the orbital angular momentum(OAM)of vortex beams,including the magnitude and the sign,has great application prospects due to its theoretically unbounded and orthogonal modes.Here,the sign-distinguishable OAM measurement in optomechanics is proposed,which is achieved by monitoring the shift of the transmission spectrum of the probe field in a double Laguerre-Gaussian(LG)rotational-cavity system.Compared with the traditional single LG rotational cavity,an asymmetric optomechanically induced transparency window can occur in our system.Meanwhile,the position of the resonance valley has a strong correlation with the magnitude and sign of OAM.This originally comes from the fact that the effective detuning of the cavity mode from the driving field can vary with the magnitude and sign of OAM,which causes the spectral shift to be directional for different signs of OAM.Our scheme solves the shortcoming of the inability to distinguish the sign of OAM in optomechanics,and works well for high-order vortex beams with topological charge value±45,which is a significant improvement for measuring OAM based on the cavity optomechanical system.

文摘Cavity optomechanics is applied to study the coupling behavior of interacting molecules in surface plasmon systems driven by two-color laser beams. Different from the traditional force–distance measurement, due to a resonant frequency shift or a peak splitting on the probe spectrum, we have proposed a convenient method to measure the van der Waals force strength and interaction energy via nonlinear spectroscopy. The minimum force value can reach approximately 10^(-15) N, which is 3 to 4 orders of magnitude smaller than the widely applied atomic force microscope(AFM). It is also shown that two adjacent molecules with similar chemical structures and nearly equal vibrational frequencies can be easily distinguished by the splitting of the transparency peak. Based on this coupled optomechanical system, we also conceptually design a tunable optical switch by van der Waals interaction. Our results will provide new approaches for understanding the complex and dynamic interactions inmolecule–plasmon systems.

文摘We propose a quantum control scheme with the help of Lyapunov control function in the optomechanics system. The principle of the idea is to design suitable control fields to steer the Lyapunov control function to zero as t → ∞ while the quantum system is driven to the target state. Such an evolution makes no limit on the initial state and one needs not manipulate the laser pulses during the evolution. To prove the effectiveness of the scheme, we show two useful applications in the optomechanics system: one is the cooling of nanomechanical resonator and the other is the quantum fluctuation transfer between membranes. Numerical simulation demonstrates that the perfect and fast cooling of nanomechanical resonator and quantum fluctuation transfer between membranes can be rapidly achieved. Besides, some optimizations are made on the traditional Lyapunov control waveform and the optimized bang–bang control fields makes Lyapunov function V decrease faster. The optimized quantum control scheme can achieve the same goal with greater efficiency. Hence, we hope that this work may open a new avenue of the experimental realization of cooling mechanical oscillator, quantum fluctuations transfer between membranes and other quantum optomechanics tasks and become an alternative candidate for quantum manipulation of macroscopic mechanical devices in the near future.

文摘The levitated optomechanics,because of its ultra-high mechanical Q>1010,is considered to be one of the best testbeds for macroscopic quantum superpostions.In this perspective,we give a brief review on the development of the levitated optomechanics,focusing on the macroscopic quantum phenomena,and the applications in quantum precision measurement.The levitated nanodiamond with built-in nitrogen-vacancy centers is discussed as an example.Finally,we discuss the future dirctions of the levtated optomechanics,such as the space-based experiments,the arrays of levitated optomechanics and applications in quantum simulation.

文摘Nonreciprocal elements,such as isolators and circulators,play an important role in classical and quantum information processing.Recently,strong nonreciprocal effects have been experimentally demonstrated in cavity optomechanical systems.In these approaches,the bandwidth of the nonreciprocal photon transmission is limited by the mechanical resonator linewidth,which is arguably much smaller than the linewidths of the cavity modes in most electromechanical or optomechanical devices.In this work,we demonstrate broadband nonreciprocal photon transmission in the reversed-dissipation regime,where the mechanical mode with a large decay rate can be adiabatically eliminated while mediating anti-PT-symmetric dissipative coupling with two kinds of phase factors.Adjusting the relative phases allows the observation of periodic Riemann-sheet structures with distributed exceptional points(Eps).At the Eps,destructive quantum interference breaks both theT-andP-inversion symmetry,resulting in unidirectional and chiral photon transmissions.In the reversed-dissipation regime,the nonreciprocal bandwidth is no longer limited by the mechanical mode linewidth but is improved to the linewidth of the cavity resonance.Furthermore,we find that the direction of the unidirectional and chiral energy transfer could be reversed by changing the parity of the Eps.Extending non-Hermitian couplings to a three-cavity model,the broken anti-PT-symmetry allows us to observe high-order Eps,at which a parity-dependent chiral circulator is demonstrated.The driving-phase controlled periodical Riemann sheets allow observation of the parity-dependent unidirectional and chiral energy transfer and thus provide a useful cell for building up nonreciprocal array and realizing topological,e.g.,isolators,circulators,or amplifiers.

文摘Spaceborne optomechanical systems face the dual challenges of extreme thermal disturbances and millikelvin-level temperature control precision during orbital operations,demanding robust control strategies.To address the performance limitations of conventional fixed-parameter active disturbance rejection control(ADRC)under complex operating conditions,this work proposes a Qlearning-enhanced adaptive ADRC framework.A thermal-transfer model incorporating multisource disturbances(solar radiation,structural conduction,and contact thermal resistance)is established,coupled with a reinforcement learning-driven parameter optimization mechanism.The ε-greedy policy dynamically adjusts observer bandwidth(ω_(o)∈[0.01,0.2])and controller bandwidth(ω_(c)∈[0.01,0.1])to enable real-time estimation and compensation of total disturbances.Simulation results demonstrate significant improvements over fixed-parameter ADRC and a self-tuning internal model control proportional-integral(SIMC-PI)controller:31.3% and 15.4% reduction in settling time during setpoint responses,respectively;21.8% lower integral absolute error(IAE)than the fixed-parameter ADRC during setpoint step responses;12.7% and 52.5% enhancement in control precision over conventional fixed-parameter and SIMC-PI controllers,respectively,under±10 K periodic and step thermal disturbances.Monte Carlo robustness tests reveal smaller fluctuation ranges of IAE,settling time,and overshoot under±5% parameter perturbations.This methodology establishes a new paradigm for millikelvin-level thermal control in space optical payloads.

文摘We present an overall summary on a method to deal with quantum dynamics of optomechanical systems.The method is based on the dynamical evolution processes instead of the finally evolved steady states,which are a prerequisite to the standard approach,and well captures the features in optomechanical cooling,entanglement and other scenarios.
文摘Recently,optomechanical systems have emerged as promising platforms to perform quantum information processing .There has been considerable progress in the control of solid-state phonons at the quantum level,including the ground state cooling ,the generation of quantum correlated states between radiation fields and mechanical motion ,and mechanical squeezing . A unique feature of the optomechanical systems is the interconversion between stationary and flying (photonic)qubits.Mechanical motion can serve as a universal transducer to mediate the long-range interactions between stationary quantum systems, including trapped ions,superconducting circuits,single charges,and spins in diamond or silicon ,enabling the construction of a hybrid quantum network that combines the otherwise incompatible degrees of the freedom of different physical systems.

文摘In this paper,the decoherence dynamics and spectral response of an optomechanical system,with linear and quadratic couplings,is addressed.The decoherence considered arises from pure dephasing,described by the Milburn stochastic evolution of the Schrödinger equation.In the first part of this paper,it is shown how the decoherence rate influences the evolution of the number of phonons,and the quadrature of the mechanical resonator.In the second part of the paper,an attempt to look at the spectral response of the mechanical part of the system is given using nonstationary spectroscopy.The response of the resonator in its equilibrium position is emphasized when the single-photon regime is considered.Coherent states in the cavity field and the mechanical resonator are also represented.Results and discussion comparing the inclusions of the linear,quadratic,and linear-quadratic couplings are given,regarding the influence of the dephasing in the decoherence mechanism.
