Entangling movable mirrors in a double cavity system

Quantum Physics 2015-06-26 v2

Abstract

We propose a double-cavity set-up capable of generating a stationary entangled state of two movable mirrors at cryogenic temperatures. The scheme is based on the optimal transfer of squeezing of input optical fields to mechanical vibrational modes of the mirrors, realized by the radiation pressure of the intracavity light. We show that the presence of macroscopic entanglement can be demonstrated by an appropriate read out of the output light of the two cavities.
