• Abstract: We investigate theoretically the enhancement of mechanical squeezing in a multimode optomechanical system by introducing a coherent phonon-photon interaction via the backward stimulated Brillouin scattering (BSBS) process. The coherent photon-phonon interaction where two optical modes couple to a Brillouin acoustic mode with a large decay rate provides an extra channel for the cooling of a Duffing mechanical oscillator. The squeezing degree and the robustness to the thermal noises of the Duffing mechanical mode can be enhanced greatly. When the Duffing nonlinearity is weak, the squeezing degree of the mechanical mode in the presence of BSBS can be improved more than one order of magnitude compared with the absence of BSBS. Our scheme may be extended to other quantum systems to study novel quantum effects.

  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.

  We realize the mechanical dynamical Casimir effect (DCE) in a hybrid optomechanical system. The mechanical energy is found to be directly converted into the output photons through a three-wave-mixing mechanism. It is found that the mechanical frequency can be about two orders of magnitude smaller than the output photons.

  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.
