Phase-controlled bipartite and tripartite entanglement and Bell nonlocality in a closed-loop optomechanical system

We propose a novel scheme to generate and manipulate bipartite and tripartite entanglement and Bell nonlocality in a closed-loop three-mode optomechanical system, where two optical modes are simultaneously coupled to a mechanical mode via typical optomechanical interactions and also coupled to each other through field transmission. This configuration gives rise to a phase-sensitive coupling, in which the relative phase directly controls the population distribution between two optical modes, enabling coherent redistribution of quantum correlations. By tuning this relative phase, we achieve deterministic switching of bipartite entanglement between two optical-mechanical pairs, as well as tunable genuine tripartite entanglement among three modes. Employing the displaced-parity measurement, we construct both the bipartite and tripartite Bell inequalities in phase space and observe maximal violations of approximately $2.32$ and $3$, respectively, which coincide exactly with the values achievable for ideal bipartite and tripartite Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen states. Counterintuitively, we find that the tripartite Bell nonlocality can persist even when the genuine tripartite entanglement is absent, providing deeper insight into the relationship between these two types of quantum correlations. Furthermore, we systematically analyze the effects of mechanical dissipation and thermal noise, identifying the parameter regions where Bell violation survives under realistic experimental conditions. Our results establish a comprehensive framework for generating, controlling, and verifying multipartite quantum correlations, paving the way towards phase-tunable quantum networks and noise-resilient tests of quantum foundations.

Remote generation of magnon Schrödinger cat state via magnon-photon entanglement

Magnon cat state represents a macroscopic quantum superposition of collective magnetic excitations of large number spins that not only provides fundamental tests of macroscopic quantum effects but also finds applications in quantum metrology and quantum computation. In particular, remote generation and manipulation of Schrödinger cat states are particularly interesting for the development of long-distance and large-scale quantum information processing. Here, we propose an approach to remotely prepare magnon even/odd cat states by performing local non-Gaussian operations on the optical mode that is entangled with magnon mode through pulsed optomagnonic interaction. By evaluating key properties of the resulting cat states, we show that for experimentally feasible parameters they are generated with both high fidelity and nonclassicality, and with a size large enough to be useful for quantum technologies. Furthermore, the effects of experimental imperfections such as the error of projective measurements and dark count when performing single-photon operations have been discussed, where the lifetime of the created magnon cat states is expected to be $t\sim1\,μ$s.

Enhanced entanglement and asymmetric EPR steering between magnons

The generation and manipulation of strong entanglement and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering in macroscopic systems are outstanding challenges in modern physics. Especially, the observation of asymmetric EPR steering is important for both its fundamental role in interpreting the nature of quantum mechanics and its application as resource for the tasks where the levels of trust at different parties are highly asymmetric. Here, we study the entanglement and EPR steering between two macroscopic magnons in a hybrid ferrimagnet-light system. In the absence of light, the two types of magnons on the two sublattices can be entangled, but no quantum steering occurs when they are damped with the same rates. In the presence of the cavity field, the entanglement can be significantly enhanced, and strong two-way asymmetric quantum steering appears between two magnons with equal dispassion. This is very different from the conventional protocols to produce asymmetric steering by imposing additional unbalanced losses or noises on the two parties at the cost of reducing steerability. The essential physics is well understood by the unbalanced population of acoustic and optical magnons under the cooling effect of cavity photons. Our finding may provide a novel platform to manipulate the quantum steering and the detection of bi-party steering provides a knob to probe the magnetic damping on each sublattice of a magnet.
