- Abstract: A challenging task of cavity optomechanics is to observe single-photon
optomechanical effects. To explore an intrinsic nonlinear effect of
single-photon cavity optomechanics, we need to strengthen the
radiation-pressure (RP) interaction between a single photon and a finite number
of phonons. In this work, introducing the two-laser driving and considering the
second-order correction to the cavity resonance frequency beyond the RP
interaction, we realize controllable enhancement of the single-photon
optomechanical coupling in a prototypical Fabry-Perot cavity. By adjusting the
parameters of the two driving lasers and the cross-Kerr (CK) interaction so
that the effective optomechanical coupling may become a real number, we
theoretically propose effective symmetric optomechanical dynamics at the
single-photon level, in which the forms of the quantum fluctuation dynamics
satisfied by the photon and phonon are identical to each other. We study
optimal reciprocal transport in symmetric optomechanics. By observing the
critical behavior of the optimal transmission of the laser field, we identify
the boundary point of the optomechanical strong coupling. We compare the
scattering behavior of the laser field in the dissipative equilibrium and
non-equilibrium symmetric optomechanics before and after the rotating-wave
approximation (RWA). We also present a reliable experimental implementation of
the present scheme. This work may pave the way to studying the single-photon
optomechanical effects with current experimental platforms.

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.

single atom [0.0]
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.
