• Abstract: In cavity optomechanics, single photon detection of Raman scattered photons can be a useful tool for observing nonclassical features of both radiation and motion. While this tool has been employed in experiments with pulsed laser driving of a cavity mode, it has not been readily accessible to experiments with continuous and constant laser driving. To address this, we present a study of a standard optomechanical system where the cavity mode is continuously driven at two different frequencies, and where sideband photons are detected by single photon detectors after frequency filtering the output from the cavity mode around its resonance frequency. We first derive the normalized second order coherence associated with the detected photons, and show that it contains signatures of the quantum nature of the mechanical mode which would be absent with only single-tone driving. To identify model-independent nonclassical features, we derive two inequalities for the sideband photon statistics that should be valid in any classical model of the system. We show that these inequalities are violated in the proposed setup. This is provided that the average phonon occupation number of the mechanical mode is sufficiently small, which in principle can be achieved through sideband cooling intrinsic to the setup. Violation of the first inequality means that there is no well-defined probability distribution of the Glauber-Sudarshan type for the cavity mode. In contrast, a violation of the second inequality means that there is no joint probability distribution for the cavity mode at two times separated by a finite interval, which originates from the noncommutativity of the motional quadratures of the mechanical mode. The proposed setup thus employs a mechanical oscillator in order to generate a steady-state source of nonclassical radiation.

  Photon-phonon antibunching can lead to violations of classical inequalities in optomechanical cavity systems. We analyze the quantum correlations of single photon-phonon excitations when the system is driven by two weak probe fields. The findings are significant for producing sub-Poissonian signals under optimal conditions and have potential applications in hybrid systems.

  nonlinear radiation-pressure interaction in Cavity-electromechanical systems could result in an unstable response of the mechanical resonator. By using polariton modes formed by a strongly coupled flux-tunable transmon and a microwave cavity, here we demonstrate an electromechanical device and achieve a single-photon coupling rate. Such an improvement in the single-photon coupling rate and the observations of microwave frequency combs at single-photon levels may have applications in the quantum control of the motional states and critical parametric sensing.

  Two non-identical quantum emitters, when placed within a cavity and coherently excited at the two-photon resonance, can reach stationary states of nearly maximal entanglement. We show that this mechanism is merely one among a complex family of phenomena that can generate both stationary and metastable entanglement when driving the emitters at the two-photon resonance.

  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.
