Generating two-mechanical mode entangled cat states, and steady-state entanglement, in cavity optomechanics in the presence of dissipation

Abstract:We investigate a dissipation-engineering approach to produce a phase-dependent collective-mode Schrödinger cat state involving two modes. Our model features a single cavity mode that interacts with two spectrally identical mechanical oscillators. Both oscillators are coupled through a phase-dependent hopping interaction. We demonstrate that by adjusting the phase of the phonon-hopping interaction, one can control the bipartite entanglement of the phase-dependent two-mode cat state during its generation. Additionally, our study reveals that phonon interactions act as a tunable parameter, enabling the manipulation of steady-state entanglement between the bare mechanical modes, even in the presence of environmental effects and thermal excitations. Our scheme provides a feasible approach for the phase-dependent multi mode non-Gaussian states preparation.
