Enhancement of quantum sensing in a dissipatively coupled two-mode system

Quantum sensing near exceptional points (EPs) in non-Hermitian systems has shown promising sensitivity enhancements. However, practical applications are often hindered by structural complexity and strict parameter constraints. In this work, we introduce a simplified anti-parity-time (anti-PT) symmetric platform consisting of two independently cavities, which are indirectly coupled to each other by a shared dissipative environment. We demonstrate a significantly enhanced sensing response at the EPs compared to non-EP configurations. This improvement is attributed to the dominant second-order term in the Laurent series expansion of the eigenvalue response to external perturbations- a characteristic feature of higher-order singularities at EPs. This mechanism not only reinforces the foundation for sensitivity enhancement but also offers a structurally compact and robust strategy for quantum sensing. Our results underscore the potential of anti-PT symmetric systems in enabling high-precision sensing technologies and bridging non-Hermitian physics with scalable photonic device platforms.

Phase-selective tripartite entanglement and asymmetric Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering in squeezed optomechanics

The generation and manipulation of multipartite entanglement and EPR steering in macroscopic systems not only play a fundamental role in exploring the nature of quantum mechanics, but are also at the core of current developments of various nascent quantum technologies. Here we report a theoretical method using squeezing-phase-controlled quantum noise flows to selectively generate and manipulate quantum entanglement and asymmetric EPR steering in a nonlinear $χ^{(2)}$ whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) optomechanical resonator. We show that by pumping the $χ^{(2)}$ nonlinear medium with two-photon optical fields and broadband squeezed lights, a pair of counterpropagating squeezed optical modes could be introduced to the WGM resonator, each coupled with an independent squeezed vacuum reservoir. This configuration could enable squeezing-phase-controlled light-reservoir interaction for each squeezed optical mode, providing a flexible tool for tailoring asymmetric optical noise flows in the counterpropagating modes. Based on this unique feature, it is found that with the injection of asymmetric noise flows, the generation of various types of bipartite and tripartite entanglement become phase-dependent and thus they can be produced in an asymmetric way. More excitingly, it is also found that by further properly adjusting the squeezing parameters, the overall asymmetry of EPR steering can also be stepwise driven from no-way regime, one-way regime to two-way regime. These findings, holding promise for preparing rich types of entangled quantum resources with asymmetric features, may have potential applications in the area of secure quantum information processing such as quantum secure direct communication and one-way quantum computing.

Explaining the $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ anomalies in $Z^\prime$ scenarios with top-FCNC couplings

Motivated by the recent anomalies in $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ transitions, we explore a minimal $Z^\prime$ scenario, in which the $Z^\prime$ boson has a flavour-changing coupling to charm and top quarks and a flavour-conserving coupling to muons. It is found that such a $Z^\prime$ boson can explain the current $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ anomalies, while satisfying other flavour and collider constraints simultaneously. The $Z^\prime$ boson can be as light as few hundreds GeV. In this case, the $t \to c μ^+ μ^-$ decay and the $tZ^\prime$ associated production at the LHC could provide sensitive probes of such a $Z^\prime$ boson. As a special feature, the $Z^\prime$ contributions to all rare $B$- and $K$-meson processes are controlled by one parameter. This results in interesting correlations among these processes, which could provide further insights into this scenario. In addition, an extended scenario, in which the $Z^\prime$ boson interacts with the $SU(2)_L$ fermion doublets with analogous couplings as in the minimal scenario, is also investigated.

Ground state cooling of magnomechanical resonator in PT-symmetric cavity magnomechanical system at room temperature

We propose to realize the ground state cooling of magnomechanical resonator in a parity-time (PT)-symmetric cavity magnomechanical system composed of a loss ferromagnetic sphere and a gain microwave cavity. In the scheme, the magnomechanical resonator can be cooled close to its ground state via the magnomechanical interaction, and it is found that the cooling effect in PT-symmetric system is much higher than that in non-PT-symmetric system. Resorting to the magnetic force noise spectrum, we investigate the final mean phonon number with experimentally feasible parameters and find surprisingly that the ground state cooling of magnomechanical resonator can be directly achieved at room temperature. Furthermore, we also illustrate that the ground state cooling can be flexibly controlled via the external magnetic field.

Magnon blockade in a PT-symmetric-like cavity magnomechanical system

We investigate the magnon blockade effect in a parity-time (PT) symmetric-like three-mode cavity magnomechanical system involving the magnon-photon and magnon-phonon interactions. In the broken and unbroken PT-symmetric regions, we respectively calculate the second-order correlation function analytically and numerically and further determine the optimal value of detuning. By adjusting different system parameters, we study the different blockade mechanisms and find that the perfect magnon blockade effect can be observed under the weak parameter mechanism. Our work paves a way to achieve the magnon blockade in experiment.

Photon blockade in a double-cavity optomechanical system with nonreciprocal coupling

Photon blockade is an effective way to generate single photon, which is of great significance in quantum state preparation and quantum information processing. Here we investigate the statistical properties of photons in a double-cavity optomechanical system with nonreciprocal coupling, and explore the photon blockade in the weak and strong coupling regions respectively. To achieve the strong photon blockade, we give the optimal parameter relations under different blockade mechanisms. Moreover, we find that the photon blockades under their respective mechanisms exhibit completely different behaviors with the change of nonreciprocal coupling, and the perfect photon blockade can be achieved without an excessively large optomechanical coupling, i.e., the optomechanical coupling is much smaller than the mechanical frequency, which breaks the traditional cognition. Our proposal provides a feasible and flexible platform for the realization of single-photon source.

Optical nonreciprocal response and conversion in a Tavis-Cummings coupling optomechanical system

We propose a scheme to realize optical nonreciprocal response and conversion in a Tavis-Cummings coupling optomechanical system, where a single cavity mode interacts with the vibrational mode of a flexible membrane with an embedded ensemble of two-level quantum emitters. Due to the introduction of the Tavis-Cummings interaction, we find that the phases between the mechanical mode and the optical mode, as well as between the mechanical mode and the dopant mode, are correlated with each other, and further give the analytical relationship between them. By optimizing the system parameters, especially the relative phase between two paths, the optimal nonreciprocal response can be achieved. Under the frequency domain, we derive the transmission matrix of the system analytically based on the input-output relation and study the influence of the system parameters on the nonreciprocal response of the quantum input signal. Moreover, compared with the conventional optomechanical systems, the Tavis-Cummings coupling optomechanical system exhibits richer nonreciprocal conversion phenomena among the optical mode, mechanical mode, and dopant mode, which provide a new applicable way of achieving the phonon-photon transducer and the optomechanical circulator in future practice.

Strong mechanical squeezing in a standard optomechanical system by pump modulation

Being beneficial for the amplitude modulation of the pump laser, we propose a simple yet surprisingly effective mechanical squeezing scheme in a standard optomechanical system. By merely introducing a specific kind of periodic modulation into the single-tone driving field to cool down the mechanical Bogoliubov mode, the far beyond 3-dB strong mechanical squeezing can be engineered without requiring any additional techniques. Specifically, we find that the amount of squeezing is not simply dependent on the order of magnitude of the effective optomechanical coupling but strongly on the ratio of sideband strengths for it. To maximize the mechanical squeezing, we numerically and analytically optimize this ratio in the steady-state regime, respectively. The mechanical squeezing engineered in our scheme also has strong robustness and can survive at a high bath temperature. Compared with previous schemes based on the two-tone pump technique, our scheme involves fewer external control laser source and can be extended to other quantum systems to achieve strong squeezing effect.

Enhanced photon blockade in an optomechanical system with parametric amplification

We propose a scheme to enhance the single- and two-photon blockade effect significantly in a standard optomechanical system (OMS) via optical parametric amplification (OPA). The scheme does not rely on the strong single-photon optomechanical coupling and can eliminate the disadvantages of suppressing multi-photon excitation incompletely. Through analyzing the single-photon blockade (1PB) mechanism and optimizing the system parameters, we obtain a perfect 1PB with a high occupancy probability of single-photon excitation, which means that a high quality and efficient single-photon source can be generated. Moreover, we find that not only the two-photon blockade (2PB) effect is significantly enhanced but also the region of 2PB occurring is widened when the OPA exists, where we also derive the optimal parameter condition to maximize the two-photon emission and the higher photon excitations are intensely suppressed at the same time.

$b \to cτ\barν$ decays in supersymmetry with $R$-parity violation

In the past few years, several hints of lepton flavour universality (LFU) violation have emerged in the $b \to c τ\barν$ and $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ data. Quite recently, the Belle Collaboration has reported the first measurement of the $D^*$ longitudinal polarization fraction in the $B \to D^* τ\barν$ decay. Motivated by this intriguing result, together with the recent measurements of $R_{J/ψ}$ and $τ$ polarization, we study $b \to c τ\barν$ decays in the Supersymmetry (SUSY) with $R$-parity violation (RPV). We consider $B \to D^{(*)} τ\barν$, $B_c \to η_c τ\barν$, $B_c \to J/ψτ\barν$ and $Λ_b \to Λ_c τ\barν$ modes and focus on the branching ratios, the LFU ratios, the forward-backward asymmetries, polarizations of daughter hadrons and $τ$ lepton. It is found that the RPV SUSY can explain the $R_{D^{(*)}}$ anomalies at $2σ$ level, after taking into account various flavour constraints. In the allowed parameter space, the differential branching fractions and LFU ratios are largely enhanced by the SUSY effects, especially in the large dilepton invariant mass region. In addition, a lower bound $\mathcal B(B^+ \to K^+ ν\barν) > 7.37 \times 10^{-6}$ is obtained. These observables could provide testable signatures at the High-Luminosity LHC and SuperKEKB, and correlate with direct searches for SUSY.

Distinguishing photon blockade in a PT-symmetric optomechanical system

We study the effects of parity-time(PT)-symmetry on the photon blockade and distinguish the different blockade mechanisms in a double-cavity optomechanical system. By studying the light statistics of the system, we find the completely different photon blockade behaviors when the PT-symmetry is broken or unbroken, which is related to the PT phase transition. Furthermore, an interesting phenomenon that the two cavities are blocked at the same time is found with the appropriate system parameters. Those statistical phenomenons are all analyzed in detail and demonstrated by analytically solving the Schrodinger equation and numerically simulating the master equation, respectively. Finally, we also consider the non-PT symmetric situations which further reveal the physical essence of the photon blockade by comparing those results. Different from the usual photon blockade, our proposal is feasible even with weak parameter mechanism, i.e., the proposal neither requires the strong optomechanical coupling nor the large tunneling coupling between cavities.

Amplitude-modulation-based atom-mirror entanglement and mechanical squeezing in a hybrid optomechanical system

We consider a hybrid optomechanical system which is composed of the atomic ensemble and a standard optomechanical cavity driven by the periodically modulated external laser field. We investigate the asymptotic behaviors of Heisenberg operator first moments and clearly show the approaching process between the exact numerical results and analytical solutions. Based on the specific modulation forms of external driving and effective optomechanical coupling, we discuss in detail the atom-mirror entanglement enhancement, respectively. Compared with the constant driving regime, the entanglement can be greatly enhanced with more loose cavity decay rate and is more resistant to the thermal fluctuations of the mechanical bath. The desired form of periodically modulated effective optomechanical coupling can be precisely engineered by the external driving modulation components which can be derived analytically via Laplace transform. Meanwhile, resorting to the quantum interference mechanism caused by atomic ensemble and modulating the external driving appropriately, the mechanical squeezing induced by the periodic modulation can be generated successfully in the unresolved regime.

Manipulation of nanomechanical resonator via shaking optical frequency

In the usual optomechanical systems, the stability of the systems severely limits those researches of the macroscopic quantum effects. We study an usual cavity optomechanical system where the frequency of the optical mode is shaken periodically. We find that, when the optical shaking frequency is large enough, the shake of the optical mode can stabilize the system. That means we can study the macroscopic quantum effects of the mechanical resonator even in the strong coupling region where the standard optomechanical systems are always unstable. As examples, we study the ground-state cooling of the mechanical resonator and the entanglement between the optical and mechanical modes in the conventional unstable region, and the results indicate that the final mean phonon number and entanglement not only can be achieved but also can be modulated by the optical shaking parameters. Our proposal provides a method to study the macroscopic quantum effects even in conventional unstable region.

Qubit-assisted squeezing of the mirror motion in a dissipative optomechanical cavity system

We investigate a hybrid system consisting of an atomic ensemble trapped inside a dissipative optomechanical cavity assisted with the perturbative oscillator-qubit coupling. It is shown that such a hybrid system is very suitable for generating stationary squeezing of the mirror motion in the long-time limit under the unresolved sideband regime. Based on the approaches of master equation and covariance matrix, we discuss the respective squeezing effects in detail and find that in both approaches, simplifying the system dynamics with adiabatic elimination of the highly dissipative cavity mode is very effective. In the approach of master equation, we find that the squeezing is a resulting effect of cooling process and is robust against the thermal fluctuations of the mechanical mode. While in the covariance matrix approach, we can obtain the analytical result of the steady-state mechanical position variance from the reduced dynamical equation approximately. Finally, we compare the two different approaches and find that they are completely equivalent for the stationary dynamics. The scheme may be meaningful for the possible ultraprecise quantum measurement involved mechanical squeezing.

Spontaneous PT symmetry breaking in non-Hermitian coupled cavities array

We study the effects of the position of the passive and active cavities on the spontaneous parity-time (PT) symmetry breaking behavior in non-Hermitian coupled cavities array model. We analyze and discuss the energy eigenvalue spectrums and PT symmetry in the topologically trivial and nontrivial regimes under three different cases in detail, i.e., the passive and active cavities are located at, respectively, the two end positions, the second and penultimate positions, and each position in coupled cavities array. The odevity of the number of cavities is further considered to check the effects of the non-Hermitian terms applied on the PT symmetric and asymmetric systems. We find that the position of the passive and active cavities has remarkable impacts on the spontaneous PT symmetry breaking behavior, and in each case the system exhibits distinguishable and novel spontaneous PT symmetry breaking characteristic, respectively. The effects of the non-Hermitian terms on the $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetric and asymmetric systems due to the odevity are comparatively different in the first case while qualitatively same in the second case.

Optomechanical cooling beyond the quantum backaction limit with frequency modulation

In the usual optomechanical cooling, even if the system has no thermal component, it still has a quantum limit-known as the quantum backaction limit (QBL)-on the minimum phonon number related to shot noise. By studying the side-band cooling regime in optomechanical system (OMS), we find that the cooling can be improved significantly when the frequency modulation (FM) that can suppress the Stokes heating processes is introduced into the system. We analyze and demonstrate the reasons of the phonon number below the QBL redefined in the whole stable region of the standard OMSs. The above analyses are further checked by numerically solving the differential equations of second order moments derived from the quantum master equation with broad system parameters, ranging from weak coupling (WC) to ultra-strong coupling (USC) and resolved side-band (RSB) to unresolved side-band (USB) regimes. Comparing with the cases of those without FM, the stable ground-state cooling can also be achieved even in the conventional unstable region.

Modulation of entanglement between two oscillators separated in space with an optical parametric amplifier

We propose a scheme to modulate the entanglement between two oscillators separated in space via the squeezing cavity field generated by the optical parametric amplifier instead of injecting the squeezing field directly with the assistance of Coulomb interaction. We show that the Coulomb interaction between the oscillators is the essential reason for the existence of entanglement. Due to the gain of the optical parametric amplifier and the phase of the pump driving the optical parametric amplifier can simultaneously modulate the squeezing cavity field, the radiation pressure interaction between the cavity field and the oscillator is modulated accordingly. We find that there is competing effect between the radiation pressure interaction and the Coulomb interaction for the oscillator which these two interactions act on simultaneously. Therefore, the modulation of entanglement can be achieved with the assistance of Coulomb interaction. The results of numerical simulation show that the present scheme has stronger robustness against the temperature of environment compared with previous schemes in experimentally feasible regimes.

Steady-state mechanical squeezing in a double-cavity optomechanical system

We study the physical properties of double-cavity optomechanical system in which the mechanical resonator interacts with one of the coupled cavities and another cavity is used as an auxiliary cavity. The model can be expected to achieve the strong optomechanical coupling strength and overcome the optomechanical cavity decay, simultaneously. Through the coherent auxiliary cavity interferences, the steady-state squeezing of mechanical resonator can be generated in highly unresolved sideband regime. The validity of the scheme is assessed by numerical simulation and theoretical analysis of the steady-state variance of the mechanical displacement quadrature. The scheme provides a platform for the mechanical squeezing beyond the resolved sideband limit and addresses the restricted experimental bounds at present.
