Parametric and feedback-controlled multiparameter quantum estimation in a double cavity optomechanics: steady and dynamical state

Multiparameter quantum estimation in open optomechanical systems is fundamentally constrained by dissipation, thermal fluctuations, and measurement incompatibility. In this work, we investigate a coupled-cavity optomechanical platform in which two mechanical modes interact with driven optical cavities, two-mode squeezed vacuum, intracavity degenerate parametric amplification, and coherent optical feedback. Using the continuous-variable Gaussian-state formalism, we derive the linearized quantum Langevin dynamics and steady-state covariance matrix and evaluate the quantum Fisher information matrices associated with simultaneous estimation of the optomechanical coupling strength and cavity dissipation rate. We characterize the precision bounds using the symmetric and right logarithmic derivative formalisms and employ $\mathcal{B}_{\rm MI}=\max\{\mathcal{B}_S,\mathcal{B}_R\}$ as a comparative figure of merit within the SLD/RLD framework. We find that parametric amplification can substantially reduce , demonstrating an enhancement of multiparameter sensitivity over a broad range of operating conditions. In contrast, coherent feedback produces a nonmonotonic modification of the estimation precision, with its effect depending sensitively on the feedback reflectivity, phase, squeezing strength, and thermal occupation. This behavior reveals that coherent feedback acts not simply as an enhancing or degrading mechanism, but as a tunable resource for engineering the quantum fluctuations and parameter-dependent correlations of the optomechanical state. We further analyze the transient and steady-state regimes and identify parameter regions in which squeezing and parametric amplification provide the largest metrological gain.

Reservoir-controlled electromagnetically induced gratings in a weakly driven two-level medium

We theoretically investigate the transmission and diffraction of a weak probe field from an electromagnetically induced grating formed in a weakly driven two-level medium coupled to engineered quantum reservoirs. Using a perturbative solution of the optical Bloch equations in the weak-driving regime, we analyze how normal-vacuum, thermal, and broadband squeezed-vacuum environments modify the probe susceptibility and consequently reshape both the spatial transmission function and the far-field diffraction patterns. We show that reservoir statistics have a pronounced impact on the diffraction response by altering the amplitude and phase of the induced grating. Thermal reservoirs enhance the transmission modulation and increase the intensity of the dominant diffraction orders, whereas squeezed-vacuum reservoirs generate strongly phase-sensitive modifications that selectively redistribute optical power among diffraction channels. We further demonstrate that the detuning between the squeezed reservoir and the driving field provides an efficient mechanism for controlling diffraction directionality, leading to substantial amplification of selected angular orders. In two-dimensional geometries, squeezed-vacuum correlations produce highly structured phase landscapes and strongly anisotropic diffraction patterns, enabling directional enhancement of specific diffraction channels while suppressing others. These results establish reservoir engineering as a versatile approach for controlling transmission, diffraction efficiency, and angular selectivity in minimal two-level systems, with potential applications in programmable photonic devices, beam steering, and quantum optical platforms.

Magnon-Squeezing-Induced Nonreciprocal Quantum Coherence in a Cavity Magnomechanical System

We investigate quantum coherence in a hybrid cavity magnomechanical system incorporating a squeezed-magnon drive. By analyzing the Gaussian quantum coherence of the cavity, magnonic, and mechanical subsystems, as well as the total system coherence, we identify the critical roles of phase control, coupling strength, drive power, and thermal noise. We show that the squeezing amplitude and phase precisely modulate the effective magnon frequency and damping, enabling phase-dependent enhancement and nonreciprocal transfer of coherence. Our systematic parameter analysis indicates that increasing driving power and photon-magnon coupling enhances quantum coherence, while thermal decoherence leads to its degradation. However, this effect is partially suppressed by the presence of magnon squeezing. The results show that squeezed magnons are a robust and tunable resource for controlling, stabilizing, and optimizing quantum coherence in cavity magnomechanical platforms, offering potential applications in hybrid magnonic systems and coherent quantum information processing.

Monogamy of Gaussian quantum steering and entanglement in a hybrid qubit-cavity optomagnonic system with coherent feedback loop

The monogamy of quantum correlations is a fundamental principle in quantum information processing, limiting how quantum correlations can be shared among multiple subsystems. Here we propose a theoretical scheme to investigate the monogamy of quantum steering and genuine tripartite entanglement in a hybrid qubit-cavity optomagnonic system with a coherent feedback loop. Using logarithmic negativity and Gaussian quantum steering, we quantify entanglement and steerability, respectively. We verify the CKW-type monogamy inequalities which leads to steering monogamous through adjustments of the reflective parameter among three tripartite modes versus temperature. Our results show that a coherent feedback loop can enhance entanglement and quantum steering under thermal effects.

Light Drag in a Cavity Magnomechanics

The term "light dragging" describes how the trajectory of light changes as it travels through a moving medium. This phenomenon facilitates the precise detection of incredibly slow speeds of light, which is widely used in quantum gate operations, state transfer, and quantum memory implementations, etc. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time we have proposed the existence of a light-dragging effect in a magnomechanical system (MMS). The origin of this crucial element stems from nonlinear dipole and magnetostrictive interactions in MMS. Magnomechanical characteristics such as magnon-photon and magnon-phonon couplings have a strong impact on both refractive and group index profile spectra. We also explore that lateral light drag shows a strong dependence on detuning by altering the amplitude and direction of the translational velocity. This enabled us to alter the light's propagation within the magnomechanical system from superluminal to subluminal and vice versa by adjusting the probe's detuning. The ability to control and manipulate the light drag through the MMS could be helpful in designing novel devices with improved functionality at the microscopic scale.

Light drag in an Optomechanical system

Light dragging refers to the change in the path of light passing through a moving medium. This effect enables accurate detection of very slow speeds of light, which have prominent applications in state transfer, quantum gate operations, and quantum memory implementations. Here, to the best of our knowledge, we demonstrate the existence of the light-dragging effect in an optomechanical system (OMS) for the first time. The origin of this key factor arises from the nonlinear effects linked to optomechanical-induced transparency (OMIT). Hence, we observe prominent effects in the group and refractive indices profile spectra related to optomechanical parameters such as the decay rate of the cavity field, the mirror's damping momentum rate, and mechanical frequency. We find out that lateral light drag depends on the detuning by altering the amplitude and direction of the translational velocity. This allowed us to change the light's propagation through the optomechanical cavity from superluminal to subluminal and vice versa by modifying the probe's detuning. The ability to manipulate and control the light drag through an optomechanical system might be useful in designing novel optical devices and systems with enhanced performance.

Perfect Transfer of Entanglement and One-Way Quantum Steering via Parametric Frequency Converter in a Two-mode Cavity Magnomechanical System

We study the effects of a parametric frequency converter in a two-mode cavity system where one of the cavity mode is coupled with yttrium iron garnet (YIG) via magnetic dipole interaction. Parametric frequency converter acts as a nonlinear source for enhanced entanglement among all bipartitions and asymmetrical quantum steering. The behavior of the two types of quantum correlations are shown to be dependent on parametric coupling and the associated phase factor. We show that cavity-cavity entanglement and cavity-phonon entanglement (cavity-magnon entanglement) decreases (increases) with the increase of the parametric phase factor {\phi}. In addition, generated entanglements in the present system have shown to be more robust against the thermal effects, with the inclusion of the parametric converter as compared with the bare cavity case. Another intriguing finding is the asymmetric one-way steering, where we notice that magnon and phonon modes can steer the indirectly coupled cavity modes, yet the steering in swapped direction is not observed. It is of great interest that the perfect transfer of entanglement and quantum steering is achieved among different modes by adjusting the system's parameters. In fact, our protocol for these transferring processes suggests a different approach to the processing and storage of quantum information.

Phase-Sensitive Enhanced Absorption, Transmission and Slow Light in a Cross-cavity Magnomechanical System

We theoretically propose a scheme to explore the magnetically and magnomechanically induced transparency phenomena in a cross-cavity magnomechanical system, focusing on the role of relative phase and the intensity of the two probing fields in enhancing the absorption and transmission spectra and manipulating the group delay of the transmitted light. Interestingly, the relative phase of the two probe fields could have overwhelming effects on both the absorption spectrum and the group delay of the output field. Tuning the relative phase and amplitude of the probe fields can suppress or enhance the absorption and transmission spectra. The combined effect of the magnon-photon and magnon-phonon couplings, along with relative phase modulations, helps to switch the probe field's behavior from subluminal to superluminal in the current system. The current study offers a straightforward and practical approach, demonstrating the capability to employ the relative phase for the modulation of microwave signals within the cavity magnomechanical system, providing insights for the design of information transduction and quantum sensing.

Nonreciprocal Multipartite Entanglement in a two-cavity magnomechanical system

We propose a theoretical scheme for the generation of nonreciprocal multipartite entanglement in a two-mode cavity magnomechanical system, consisting of two cross-microwave (MW) cavities having a yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere, which is coupled through magnetic dipole interaction. Our results show that the self-Kerr effect of magnon can significantly enhance multipartite entanglement, which turns out to be nonreciprocal when the magnetic field is tuned along the crystallographic axis [110]. This is due to the frequency shift on the magnons (YIG sphere), which depends on the direction of the magnetic field. Interestingly, the degree of nonreciprocity of bipartite entanglements depends upon a careful optimal choice of system parameters like normalized cavity detunings, bipartite nonlinear index, self-Kerr coefficient, and effective magnomechanical coupling rate G. In addition to bipartite entanglement, we also present the idea of a bidirectional contrast ratio, which quantifies the nonreciprocity in tripartite entanglements. Our present theoretical proposal for nonreciprocity in multipartite entanglement may find applications in diverse engineering nonreciprocal devices

Nanomechanically induced transparency in $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric optical cavities

In this paper, we analytically present the phenomena of nanomechanically induced transparency (NMIT) and transmission rate in a parity-time-symmetric ($\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric) opto-nanomechanical system (ONMS) where a levitated dielectric nanospheres is trapped near the antinodes closest to right mirror of passive cavity which further coupled to an active cavity via hoping factor. We find that the phenomenon of NMIT may be generated from the output probe field in the presence of an effective opto-nanomechanical coupling between the cavity field and the nanosphere, whose steady-state position is influenced by the Coulomb interaction between the cavity mirror and the nanosphere. In addition, the width and height of the transparency window can be controlled through the effective optomechanical coupling, which is readily adjusted by altering changing the nanosphere's radius and the Coulomb interaction. One of the most interesting result is the transition NMIT behavior in $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric and broken $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric regime. We show that the presence of nanosphere in the passive cavity enhances the width and transmission rate of NMIT window in passive-passive regime and in passive-active regime, a notable decrease of sideband amplification has been observed. These results show that our scheme may find some potential applications for optical signal processing an and quantum information processing.

Enhancement of Entanglement via Josephson Parametric Amplifier in a Dual Cavity-Magnon System

In the two microwave (MW) cross-shaped cavity magnon system, we describe a method to produce multipartite entanglement and quantum steering. To achieve squeezed states of the magnons, a Josephson parametric amplifier (JPA) creates a squeezed vacuum field that drives the two cavities. We theoretically demonstrate that the cavity-cavity entanglement can be generated at the resonance point, however, increasing the cavity and magnon decay rates generate the cavity-magnon entanglement. By changing the squeezing parameter and increasing the decay rates, we can transfer the cavity-cavity entanglement to cavity-magnon entanglement. Furthermore, the cavity-cavity entanglement (survive up to 2.8K) not only found to be much stronger but also more robust as compared to cavity-magnon entanglement (survive up to 0.4K). More importantly, the genuine photon-magnon-photon tripartite entanglement could be achieved, which is robust against the thermal fluctuations and depends strongly on squeezing parameter. Furthermore, for current dual cavity-magnon system, two-way quantum steering is found when the optomagnonical couplings are equal. The current study offers a straightforward and practical method for achieving multipartite quantum correlations.

Distant entanglement via photon hopping in a coupled magnomechanical system

We theoretically propose a scheme to generate distant bipartite entanglement between various subsystems in coupled magnomechanical systems where both the microwave cavities are coupled through single photon hopping parameter. Each cavity also contains a magnon mode and phonon mode and this gives five excitation modes in our model Hamiltonian which are cavity-1 photons, cavity-2 photons, magnon, and phonon modes in both YIG spheres. We found that significant bipartite entanglement exists between indirectly coupled subsystems in coupled microwave cavities for an appropriate set of parameters regime. Moreover, we also obtain suitable cavity and magnon detuning parameters for a significant distant bipartite entanglement in different bipartitions. In addition, it can be seen that a single photon hopping parameter significantly affects both the degree as well as the transfer of quantum entanglement between various bipartitions. Hence, our present study related to coupled microwave cavity magnomechanical configuration will open new perspectives in coherent control of various quantum correlations including quantum state transfer among macroscopic quantum systems

Controllable Fano-type optical response and four-wave mixing via magnetoelastic coupling in a opto-magnomechanical system

We analytically investigate the Fano-type optical response and four-wave mixing (FWM) process by exploiting the magnetoelasticity of a ferromagnetic material. The deformation of the ferromagnetic material plays the role of mechanical displacement, which is simultaneously coupled to both optical and magnon modes. We report that the magnetostrictively induced displacement demonstrates Fano profiles, in the output field, which is well-tuned by adjusting the system parameters, like effective magnomechanical coupling, magnon detuning, and cavity detuning. It is found that the magnetoelastic interaction also gives rise to the FWM phenomenon. The number of the FWM signals mainly depends upon the effective magnomechanical coupling and the magnon detuning. Moreover, the FWM spectrum exhibits suppressive behavior upon increasing (decreasing) the magnon (cavity) decay rate. The present scheme will open new perspectives in highly sensitive detection and quantum information processing.

Enhanced entanglement and controlling quantum steering in a Laguerre-Gaussian cavity optomechanical system with two rotating mirrors

Gaussian quantum steering is a type of quantum correlation in which two entangled states exhibit asymmetry. We present an efficient theoretical scheme for controlling quantum steering and enhancing entanglement in a Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) rotating cavity optomechanical system with an optical parametric amplifier (OPA) driven by coherent light. The numerical simulation results show that manipulating system parameters such as parametric gain $χ$, parametric phase $θ$, and rotating mirror frequency, among others, significantly improves mirror-mirror and mirror-cavity entanglement. In addition to bipartite entanglement, we achieve mirror-cavity-mirror tripartite entanglement. Another intriguing discovery is the control of quantum steering, for which we obtained several results by investigating it for various system parameters. We show that the steering directivity is primarily determined by the frequency of two rotating mirrors. Furthermore, for two rotating mirrors, quantum steering is found to be asymmetric both one-way and two-way. As a result, we can assert that the current proposal may help in the understanding of non-local correlations and entanglement verification tasks.

A rotational-cavity optomechanical system with two revolving cavity mirrors: optical response and fast-slow light mechanism

We investigate the optical behavior of a single Laguerre-Gaussian cavity optomechanical system consisting of two mechanically rotating mirrors. We explore the effects of various physical parameters on the double optomechanically induced transparency (OMIT) of the system and provide a detailed explanation of the underlying physical mechanism. We show that the momentum is not the cause of the current double-OMIT phenomena; rather, it results from the orbital angular momentum between the optical field and the rotating mirrors. Additionally, the double-OMIT is simply produced using a single Laguerre-Gaussian cavity optomechanical system rather than by integrating many subsystems or adding the atomic medium as in earlier studies. We also investigate the impact of fast and slow light in this system. Finally, we show that the switching between ultrafast and ultraslow light can be realized by adjusting the angular momentum, which is a new source of regulating fast-slow light.

Perfect photon absorption in hybrid atom-optomechanical system

Recently, the photon absorption attracts lots of interest and plays an important role in a variety of applications. Here, we propose a valuable scheme to investigate the perfect photon absorption in a hybrid atom-optomechanical system both under and beyond the low-excitation limit. The perfect photon absorption persists both in the linear atomic excitation regime and nonlinear atomic excitation regime, below the threshold of the optical bistability/multistability, respectively. We also show that the optical nonlinearity raised by the nonlinear optomechanical interaction and nonlinear atomic excitation can be overlap-added, there presents a perfect corresponding relation between perfect photon absorption and the optical multistability beyond the low-excitation limit, the optical bistability can be switched to the optical multistability by increasing the input intensity. The combination of the perfect photon absorption and optical bistability/mutistability is useful for the photon switch application. We believe that this study will provide a possible design of an optical switch.

Optomechanically induced transparency in multi-cavity optomechanical system with and without one two-level atom

We analytically study the optomechanically induced transparency (OMIT) in the $N$-cavity system with the \textit{N}th cavity driven by pump, probing laser fields and the \textit{1}st cavity coupled to mechanical oscillator. We also consider that one atom could be trapped in the \textit{i}th cavity. Instead of only illustrating the OMIT in such a system, we are interested in how the number of OMIT windows is influenced by the cavities and the atom and what roles the atom could play in different cavities. In the resolved sideband regime, we find that, the number of cavities precisely determines the maximal number of OMIT windows. It is interesting that, when the two-level atom is trapped in the even-labeled cavity, the central absorptive peak (odd $N$) or dip (even $N$) is split and forms an extra OMIT window, but if the atom is trapped in the odd-labeled cavity, the central absorptive peak (odd $N$) or dip (even $N$) is only broadened and thus changes the width of the OMIT windows rather than induces an extra window.
