• Abstract: This thesis focuses on the mathematical description and application of nonlinear cavity optomechanical systems. The first part is concerned with solving the dynamics of the standard nonlinear optomechanical Hamiltonian with an additional time-dependent mechanical displacement and single-mode squeezing term. The solution is based on identifying a Lie algebra that generates the time-evolution of the system, which reduces the problem to considering a finite set of coupled ordinary differential equations of real functions. The second part applies the solutions of the extended optomechanical Hamiltonian to the study of non-Gaussianity. We compute the non-Gaussian character of an optomechanical state as a function of the parameters in the Hamiltonian, and investigate the interplay between the non-Gaussianity, the strength of the nonlinear coupling and the strength of the single-mode mechanical squeezing term. We find that the strength and form of the nonlinear coupling strongly impacts the non-Gaussianity, and that its relationship with the squeezing term is highly complex. The third part concerns the use of nonlinear optomechanical systems as quantum sensors. We derive a general expression of the quantum Fisher information given the extended optomechanical Hamiltonian and demonstrate its applicability through three concrete examples: estimating the strength of a nonlinear light--matter coupling, the strength of a time-modulated mechanical displacement, and the strength of a single-mode mechanical squeezing parameter, all of which are modulated at resonance. In the last Chapter of the thesis, we consider the estimation of a constant gravitational acceleration with an optomechanical system. Our results suggest that optomechanical systems could, in principle, be used as powerful quantum sensors.

  We show that WSINDy can successfully identify a reduced Hamiltonian system in the presence of large intrinsics. WSINDy naturally preserves the Hamiltonian structure by restricting to a trial basis of Hamiltonian vector fields. We also provide a contribution to averaging theory by proving that first-order averaging at the level of vector fields preserves Hamiltonian structure in nearly-periodic Hamiltonian systems.

  We show that while the strength of the nonlinearity is generally reduced by a Markovian bath spectrum, it can be enhanced by constructing a bath with a highly non-Markovian structure. The results have potential implications for future optomechanical experiments which seek to achieve a strong optomechanical nonlinearity.

  We propose two schemes for generating Wigner-negative entangled states unconditionally in mechanical resonators. We show analytically that both schemes stabilize a Wigner-negative entangled state that combines the entanglement of a two-mode squeezed vacuum with a cubic nonlinearity. We then perform extensive numerical simulations to test the robustness of Wigner-negative entanglement attained by approximate CPE states stabilized in the presence of thermal decoherence.

We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function. We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.
