Entanglement as a sufficient condition for quantum synchronization between two mechanical oscillators
Abstract
We present an optomechanical model to show that entanglement can be a sufficient condition for quantum synchronization of two mechanical oscillators. As both these entities can be characterized in terms of variances of a set of EPR-like conjugate quadratures, we investigate whether this leads to a specific condition for simultaneous existence of the both. In our model, one of the oscillators makes the cavity, while the other is kept suspended inside the cavity, and the always-on coupling between the two is mediated via the same cavity mode. We show that in presence of amplitude modulation with the same frequency as that of the oscillators, these oscillators get nearly complete quantum synchronized and entangled simultaneously in the steady state. We also show that entanglement always becomes accompanied by quantum synchronization, though the reverse is not necessarily true. Thus, entanglement becomes a sufficient condition for the quantum synchronization. This behaviour can be observed for a large range of system parameters.
