Abstract: We theoretically investigate an annularly confined Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) coupled to a four-mirror ring cavity supporting traveling-wave optical modes. Under symmetric driving by counter-propagating Laguerre-Gaussian beams carrying equal and opposite orbital angular momenta, the system realizes supersolid phases coexisting with persistent superfluid circulation. Specifically, we obtain a supersolid state if we start with a BEC of winding number $L_p$ as well as supersolid packets with coherent superpositions of two different BEC $L_p$ values. Under asymmetric pumping, realized with Laguerre-Gaussian beams of different orbital angular momenta, chiral symmetry is broken in the system, resulting in asymmetric cavity field amplitudes, directional density modulations, and tunable rotational dynamics of the resulting supersolid lattice. This leads to rotating supersolid density structures for a single winding-number state, and rotating wave packets for an initial superposition of rotational eigenstates. Finally, we probe the presence of Goldstone and Higgs modes which can be observed using minimally destructive measurements of the cavity output spectrum. Our mean-field theory reveals interference-driven rotation without physical stirring, and distinguishes our work from prior static cavity supersolids. Our results establish the ring cavity annular BEC as a versatile platform for generating chiral quantum matter, implementing rotation-sensing devices and generating atomtronic circuits with supersolids.

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.

Unconditional Wigner-negative mechanical entanglement with linear-and-quadratic optomechanical interactions [62.997667081978825]
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 investigate the stability and dynamics of the orbital angular momentum modes of a repulsive Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in two tunnel-coupled rings in a stack configuration. By populating a single orbital angular momentum mode with an arbitrary population imbalance between the rings, we derive analytically the boundary between the regimes of Josephson oscillations and macroscopic quantum self-trapping.
