• Abstract: We theoretically investigate quantum measurement noise in a hybrid optomechanical system, focusing on radiation pressure back action and its impact on force sensing. The setup consists of an optomechanical cavity with a movable mirror, a fixed semi transparent mirror, an ensemble of quantum dots (QD) coupled to the cavity mode, and an intracavity optical parametric amplifier (OPA). We show how the QD induced response, together with the system nonlinearity, modifies the noise spectral density and thereby improves the force measurement sensitivity. In this setup, coherent quantum noise cancellation (CQNC) can completely remove the back action noise. In addition, increasing the OPA pump gain enables sensitivity beyond the standard quantum limit (SQL) at reduced laser power. These combined effects allow weak force sensing beyond the SQL.

  We propose how to achieve coherent manipulation and enhancement of quantum entanglement in a hybrid optomechanical system. The advantages of this system are twofold: (i) one can effectively regulate the light-mirror interactions by introducing a squeezed intracavity mode via the OPA; (ii) when properly matching the squeezing parameters between the squeezed cavity mode and the injected squeezed vacuum reservoir, the optical input noises can be suppressed completely.

  Cat states with their unique phase-space interference properties are ideal candidates for understanding quantum mechanics. They are highly susceptible to photon loss, which inevitably diminishes their quantum non-Gaussian features. Here, we protect these non-Gaussian features by compressing the phase-space distribution of a cat state.

• Homodyne coherent quantum noise cancellation in a hybrid optomechanical force sensor [0.0]
  We propose an experimentally viable scheme to enhance the sensitivity of force detection in a hybrid optomechanical setup assisted by squeezed vacuum injection. We show here that the adoption of variational homodyne readout enables us to enhance this noise cancellation up to $40 mathrmdB$ compared to the standard case. We show that at nonzero cavity detuning, the signal response can be amplified at a level three to five times larger than that in the standard case.
