• Abstract: Coupled electromechanical resonators that can be independently driven/detected and easily integrated with external circuits are essential for exploring mechanical modes based signal processing. Here, we present a room temperature phonon-cavity electromechanical system, consisting of two distinct resonators: a silicon nitride electromechanical drum capacitively coupled to an aluminum one. We demonstrate electromechanically induced transparency and amplification in a two-tone driving scheme and observe the phonon-cavity force affecting the mechanical damping rates of both movable objects. We also develop an analytical model based on linearly coupled motion equations, which captures the optomechanical features in the classical limit and enables to fit quantitatively our measurements. Our results open up new possibilities in the study of phonon-cavity based signal processing in the classical and potentially in the future in the quantum regimes.

A comparison with exact data obtained for a Holstein chain shows that a semiclassical treatment of both the electrons and phonons is required in order to correctly describe the phononic dynamics.

  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.

• 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.

  We show that the simplest set-up of two qubits, harmonically trapped over an optical waveguide, enables the ultrastrong coupling regime of the quantum optomechanical interaction. The combination of the inherent open nature of the system and the strong optomechanical coupling leads to emerging parity-time (PT) symmetry. The $mathcalPT$ phase transition drives long-living subradiant states, observable in the state-of-the-art waveguide QED setups.
