- Authors: Ephraim Shahmoon, Dominik S. Wild, Mikhail D. Lukin, Susanne F. Yelin
- Abstract summary: We consider a quantum optomechanical scheme where an ordered two-dimensional array of laser-trapped atoms is used as a movable membrane.
The extremely light mass of the atoms yields very strong optomechanical coupling, while their spatial order largely eliminates scattering losses.
We show that this combination opens the way for quantum optomechanical nonlinearities, well within the ultimate single-photon strong-coupling regime.

- Abstract: We consider a quantum optomechanical scheme wherein an ordered
two-dimensional array of laser-trapped atoms is used as a movable membrane. The
extremely light mass of the atoms yields very strong optomechanical coupling,
while their spatial order largely eliminates scattering losses. We show that
this combination opens the way for quantum optomechanical nonlinearities, well
within the ultimate single-photon strong-coupling regime. As an example, we
analyze the possibility to observe optomechanically induced quantum effects
such as photon blockade and time-delayed non-classical correlations. We discuss
novel opportunities opened by the optomechanical backaction on the internal
states of the array atoms.

Single atoms coupled to a cavity offer unique opportunities as quantum optomechanical devices because of their small mass and strong interaction with light.
We propose an alternative route in such systems, which relies on the coupling of atomic motion to the much narrower cavity-dressed atomic resonance frequency.
We analyze the prominent observable features of this optomechanical strong coupling, which include a per-photon motional heating that is significantly larger than the single-photon recoil energy.

We generate highly entangled photon pairs at telecom wavelength that we characterise via two-photon interference and quantum state tomography, achieving near-unity visibilities and fidelities.
