Generating quantum entanglement between macroscopic objects with continuous measurement and feedback control
Abstract
This study is aimed at investigating the feasibility of generating quantum entanglement between macroscopic mechanical mirrors in optomechanical systems while under continuous measurement and feedback control. We carefully derive a covariance matrix for mechanical mirrors in a steady state, employing the Kalman filtering problem with an assumed dominant cavity photon dissipation, such that the common and differential modes of the mirrors are squeezed by the action of measuring the output light beams. We demonstrate that entanglement between the mechanical mirrors is generated when the states of the common and differential modes are squeezed with high purity in an asymmetric manner. Our results also show that quantum entanglement between $7$ mg mirrors is achievable in the short term.
