• Authors: Yan Cao, Cheng Yang, Jiteng Sheng, Haibin Wu,
• Abstract summary: We show the first experimental demonstration of simultaneous cooling of two near-degenerate mechanical modes. The dark mode is generated as the system passes the exceptional point of the antiparity-time symmetric scheme. By introducing a second cavity mode for the additional dissipative channel, the dark mode is broken and the total phonon number is reduced by more than an order of magnitude below the dark mode cooling limit.

• Abstract: Optomechanical cooling of multiple degenerate mechanical modes is prevented by the mechanical dark mode due to destructive interference. Here we report the first experimental demonstration of simultaneous cooling of two near-degenerate mechanical modes by breaking the mechanical dark mode in a two-membrane cavity optomechanical system. The dark mode is generated as the system passes the exceptional point of the antiparity-time symmetric scheme. By introducing a second cavity mode for the additional dissipative channel, the dark mode is broken and the total phonon number is reduced by more than an order of magnitude below the dark mode cooling limit. Owing to the flexible tunability of the optomechanical coupling rates of such a four-mode coupled system, the optimized cooling efficiency can be achieved by investigating different parameter ranges. Our results provide an important step towards the ground state cooling and entanglement among multiple degenerate mechanical resonators.

  We study subradiance in a Bose-Einstein condensate positioned at the mode crossing of two optical cavities. metastable density structures that suppress emission into one cavity mode prevent relaxation to the stationary, superradiant grating. We reproduce these dynamics by a quantum mean field model, suggesting that subradiance shares characteristics with quasi-stationary states predicted in other long-range interacting systems.

  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 propose a general and experimentally feasible approach to realize simultaneous ground-state cooling of arbitrary number of near-degenerate mechanical modes. Multiple optical modes are employed to provide different dissipation channels that prevent complete destructive interference of the cooling pathway. In a realistic multi-mode optomechanical system, ground-state cooling of all mechanical modes is demonstrated by sequentially introducing optical drives.
