- Abstract summary: We consider a system of two cavities separated by a reflecting boundary of finite mass that is free to move, and bounded to its equilibrium position by a harmonic potential.
This yields an effective mirror-field interaction, as well as an effective interaction between the field modes mediated by the movable boundary.
We consider the second-order interacting ground state of the system, that contains virtual excitations of both mirror's degrees of freedom and of the scalar fields.

- Abstract: We consider a system of two cavities separated by a reflecting boundary of
finite mass that is free to move, and bounded to its equilibrium position by a
harmonic potential. This yields an effective mirror-field interaction, as well
as an effective interaction between the field modes mediated by the movable
boundary. Two massless scalar fields are defined in each cavity. We consider
the second-order interacting ground state of the system, that contains virtual
excitations of both mirror's degrees of freedom and of the scalar fields. We
investigate the correlation functions between field observables in the two
cavities, and find that the squared scalar fields in the two cavities, in the
interacting ground state, are anticorrelated. We discuss the dependence of the
correlation on the distance of the two points considered from the mirror's
average position and on its mass and oscillation angular frequency. These
results show a sort of communication between the two half-spaces separated by
the movable mirror, mediated by its position fluctuations. Observability of
this new phenomenon exploiting two- or many-body dispersion interactions
between polarizable bodies is discussed. The dependence on a cutoff frequency
introduced to regularize the frequency integrations, as well as the case of a
real conductor, are also discussed.

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 investigate the case of two one-dimensional cavities separated by a movable wall of finite mass, with two massless scalar fields defined in the two cavities.
We show that correlations between the squared fields in the two cavities exist, mediated by the movable wall, at variance with the fixed-wall case.

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 study the effective dynamics of two mirrors, forming an optical cavity, and interacting with the cavity field via radiation pressure.
We find that the quantum and thermal fluctuations of the cavity field result in coloured, Gaussian noises acting on the mirrors.
To each of these noises is associated a dissipative effect, and the corresponding power spectra and susceptibilities are related via generalized-dissipation relations.

We show that it is modulated in time, and that the presence of the oscillating mirror can enhance or inhibit the decay rate.
