Quantum phase synchronisation enhanced via Coulomb interaction in an optomechanical system

In this work, we investigate the dynamics of quantum synchronization in a four-mode optomechanical system, focusing on the influence of the Coulomb interaction between two mechanical resonators. We analyze the effect of the Coulomb coupling on three distinct synchronization regimes, i.e., complete quantum synchronization, $ϕ$-synchronization, and quantum phase synchronization. Our results show that while the Coulomb interaction plays a pivotal role in significantly enhancing quantum phase synchronization by facilitating energy exchange and phase coherence, it has little impact on complete and $ϕ$-synchronization. This indicates that amplitude and frequency locking are primarily determined by the optical driving, whereas phase alignment depends critically on inter-resonator coupling. We also demonstrate that the oscillations of the two optical cavities, which are indirectly coupled via the mechanical resonators, can become aligned over time, resulting in classical synchronization. These findings provide a robust mechanism for controlling collective quantum dynamics and offer a foundation for applications in quantum communication, precision sensing, and the development of synchronized quantum networks.

Noise-tolerant tripartite entanglement and quantum coherence via saturation effects

Engineering quantum resources that survive against environmental temperature is of great interest for modern quantum technologies. However, it is a tricky task to synthetize such quantum states. Here, we propose a scheme to generate highly resilient tripartite entanglement and quantum coherence against thermal fluctuations. Our benchmark model consists of a mechanical resonator driven by two electromagnetic fields, which are optically coupled. A modulated photon hopping $J$ captures the optical coupling, and each optical cavity hosts saturable gain or loss. When the saturable gain/loss are off, we observe a slightly enhancement of both tripartite entanglement and quantum coherence for an appropriate tuning of the phase modulation. When the saturation effects are turned on, we observe a significant enhancement of the tripartite entanglement, up to one order of magnitude, together with a moderate improvement of the quantum coherence. More interestingly, our results show that the threshold thermal phonon mumber for preserving tripartite entanglement in our proposal has been postponed up to two order of magnitude stronger than when the saturation effects are not accounted. The inclusion of saturable gain/loss in our proposal induces noise-tolerant quantum resources, and may lead to room temperature quantum applications such as quantum information processing, and quantum computional tasks. Our findings are quite general, and suggest saturation nonlinear effects as a tool for engineering thermal-immune quantum correlations.

Quantum correlations enhanced in hybrid optomechanical system via phase tuning

This work presents a theoretical framework for enhancing quantum correlations in a hybrid double-cavity optomechanical system that hosts an atomic ensemble. We investigate the role of the coupling phase $ϕ$ between cavity 1 and the atomic ensemble in optimizing quantum correlations, i.e., bipartite/tripartite quantum entanglement and quantum discord. By employing metrics such as logarithmic negativity for bipartite entanglement and minimum residual contangle for genuine tripartite entanglement, we demonstrate that tuning the phase $ϕ$ is essential for maximizing photon-phonon entanglement. Specifically, we find that optimal entanglement occurs at $ϕ=nπ$, with distinct conditions for odd and even integers $n$. Our results also indicate that the quantum entanglement achieved in this system is robust against thermal fluctuations, making it a promising candidate for applications in quantum information processing and quantum computing. Furthermore, this research highlights the significance of phase tuning in controlling quantum correlations, paving the way for advancements in quantum technologies.
