• Abstract: We propose a feasible experimental scheme to improve the few-photon optomechanical effects, including photon blockade and mechanical-Schrodinger cat-state generation, as well as photon-phonon entanglement in a tripartite microwave optomechanical circuit. The system under consideration is formed by a single-Cooper-pair transistor, a microwave LC resonator, and a micromechanical resonator. Our scheme is based on an additional higher-order (generalized) nonlinear cross-Kerr type of coupling, linearly dependent on photon number while quadratically dependent on mechanical phonon one, which can be realized via adjusting the gate charge of the Cooper-pair transistor. We show, both analytically and numerically, that the presence of both cross-Kerr and generalized cross-Kerr nonlinearities not only may give rise to the enhancement of one- and two-photon blockades as well as photon induced tunneling but can also provide more controllability over them. Furthermore, it is shown that in the regime of zero optomechanical coupling, with the aid of generalized cross-Kerr nonlinearity, one can generate multi-components mechanical superposition states which exhibit robustness against system dissipations. We also study the steady-state entanglement between the microwave and mechanical modes, the results of which signify the role of generalized cross-Kerr nonlinearity in enhancing the entanglement in the regime of large-red detuning. The proposed generalized cross-Kerr optomechanical system can be found potential applications in microwave quantum sensing, quantum telecommunication, and quantum information protocols.

  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.

  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.

  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.
