• Abstract: We investigate gravity-induced entanglement between the output optical fields of two red-detuned pulsed optomechanical systems with their masses coupled by mutual gravitational interaction. For each individual system, the optomechanical interaction realizes a beam-splitter state swap between an incident optical pulse and its mechanical mode. Using two rectangular pulses for each system -- the first to imprint a nonclassical state on the mechanical modes and the second to read the gravitationally generated entanglement back onto the outgoing light -- we show that the amount of entanglement can be amplified by preparing the input in a squeezed or Fock state. However, the threshold for entanglement generation is set by the competition between the gravitational coupling and thermal decoherence, $g_G>2γ_m N_{\rm th}$, and cannot be lowered by any choice of input state. We prove this bound for two-mode Gaussian inputs and show that it continues to hold for Fock-state inputs. We further analyze how imperfect detection modifies the threshold and identify the entanglement-annihilating and entanglement-breaking regimes, which are set by the thermal decoherence accumulated over the interaction time, independent of the gravitational coupling.

  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 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.

• 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.
