• Abstract summary: We show a novel mechanism of phonon lasing from the dissipative coupling in a multimode optomechanical system. The level attraction and damping repulsion are clearly exhibited as the signature of dissipative coupling. Our study provides a new method to study phonon lasers in a non-Hermitian open system and could be applied to a wide range of disciplines.

• Abstract: Phonon lasers, as the counterpart of photonic lasers, have been intensively studied in a large variety of systems, however, (all) most of them are based on the directly coherent pumping. Intuitively, dissipation is an unfavorable factor for gain in a laser. Here we demonstrate a novel mechanism of phonon lasing from the dissipative coupling in a multimode optomechanical system. By precisely engineering the dissipations of two membranes and tuning the intensity modulation of the cavity light, the two-membrane-in-the-middle system shows anti-parity-time (anti-PT) symmetry and the cavity mediated interaction between two nanomechanical resonators becomes purely dissipative. The level attraction and damping repulsion are clearly exhibited as the signature of dissipative coupling. After the exceptional point, a non-Hermitian phase transition, where eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenmodes coalesce, two phonon modes are simultaneously excited into the self-sustained oscillation regime by increasing the interaction strength over a critical value (threshold). In distinct contrast to conventional phonon lasers, the measurement of the second-order phonon correlation reveals the oscillatory and biexponential phases in the nonlasing regime as well as the coherence phase in the lasing regime. Our study provides a new method to study phonon lasers in a non-Hermitian open system and could be applied to a wide range of disciplines, including optics, acoustics, and quantum many-body physics.

  We study theoretically an array of two-level qubits moving relative to a one-dimensional waveguide. When the frequency of this motion approaches twice the qubit resonance frequency, it induces parametric generation of photons and excitation of the qubits. We develop a comprehensive general theoretical framework that incorporates both perturbative diagrammatic techniques and a rigorous master-equation approach.

  Entanglement in hybrid quantum systems comprised of fundamentally different degrees of freedom is of interest. We propose to engineer bipartite entanglement between traveling acoustic phonons in a Brillouin active solid state system. The proposed mechanism presents an important feature in that it does not require initial preparation of the quantum ground state of the phonon mode.

  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.

• Optomechanical parametric oscillation of a quantum light-fluid lattice [0.0]
  We describe a fully-resonant optomechanical parametric amplifier involving a polariton condensate in a trap lattice quadratically coupled to mechanical modes. We show that the coherent mechanical oscillations correspond to parametric resonances with threshold condition different to that of standard linear optomechanical self-oscillation. The observed new phenomena can have applications for the generation of entangled phonon pairs, squeezed mechanical states relevant in sensing and quantum computation, and for the bidirectional frequency conversion of signals in a technologically relevant range.

  In spite of particle losses the quantum entanglement propagation exhibits a ballistic character with propagation speeds related to the differerent quasiparticles that are involved in the dynamics. Our analysis reveals that photon dissipation has a strikingly asymmetric behavior in the two configurations with a much more dramatic role on the holon entanglement propagation than for the doublon case.
