• Abstract: We study a mechanical oscillator coupled to a two-level system driven by a blue-detuned coherent source in the resolved sideband regime. For weak mechanical damping, we find dynamical instabilities leading to limit cycles. They are signaled by strong fluctuations in the number of emitted photons, with a large Fano factor. The phonon-number fluctuations exhibit a strikingly similar behavior. When the coupling strength becomes comparable to the mechanical frequency, non-classical mechanical states appear. We demonstrate that these properties can be detected by measuring the photon-emission spectrum, which enables the reconstruction of the Wigner function. We then discuss the relation with cavity optomechanical systems. Candidates for observing these effects include superconducting qubits, NV centers, and single molecules coupled to oscillators.

  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.

• Realizing mechanical dynamical Casimir effect with low-frequency oscillator [0.0]
  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.

• Single-photon induced instabilities in a cavity electromechanical device [0.0]
  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.

• Dissipative stabilization of maximal entanglement between non-identical emitters via two-photon excitation [49.1574468325115]
  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 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.

• Waveguide quantum optomechanics: parity-time phase transitions in ultrastrong coupling regime [125.99533416395765]
  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.
