• Abstract: We propose a method to enhance Coulomb interaction between charged macroscopic mechanical oscillators by placing a conducting structure in their vicinity. We derive the effective motional dynamics of the two oscillators using macroscopic quantum electrodynamics and show that image charges induced in the conductor fundamentally modify the range of the electrostatic interaction. For the specific case of a cylindrical wire, we predict that the coherent motional coupling changes from the free-space scaling $1/D^3$ to an asymptotic $1/(D\ln^2 D)$ dependence on the separation $D$ between the oscillators, at the cost of only negligible additional decoherence for low-frequency oscillators. We further show that, when combined with continuous position measurements, the enhanced interaction enables the generation of steady-state motional entanglement between the oscillators over significantly larger distances than achievable in free space. For experimentally realistic milligram-scale oscillators, we predict observable entanglement at separations of several hundred microns -- more than an order of magnitude beyond free-space capabilities -- with improvements approaching two orders of magnitude in future systems. These results identify conductor-assisted Coulomb interactions as a resource for quantum control of massive objects and for the exploration of entanglement generated by fundamental central forces.

  We propose two geometries to realize a significant beam splitter interaction (XZ coupling) between magnons and a 2D microwave cavity mode. We show that we can not only make the backaction damping (anti-damping) rate larger than the bare microwave resonator damping rate, but that we can also achieve quantum squeezing of the resonator.

  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.
