• Abstract: This study presents a detailed proposal for an optomechanical system consisting of two mechanical oscillators coupled to a common cavity, aimed at generating pure and entangled two-mode squeezed mechanical steady states. We found that the violation of Bell's measurement may not occur where the entanglement is maximum; rather, nonlocality can be observed for lower entangled states. A central result is that optomechanical coupling imperfections can enhance mechanical entanglement while simultaneously suppressing Bell nonlocality by reducing the purity of the mechanical state. To mitigate this trade-off, we introduce phase-dependent phonon hopping between the mechanical oscillators and show that Bell nonlocality can be selectively enhanced in specific dark-mode configurations, even when the overall entanglement is reduced. We trace this contrasting behaviorto changes in state purity associated with the imbalance of the Bogoliubov-mode occupations. Compatible with existing microwave cavity optomechanical platforms, the proposed architecture provides an experimentally accessible route for controlling nonlocal quantum correlations in multimode mechanical systems. Our proposed scheme serves as an attractive platform for the deployment of continuous-variable teleportation and high-fidelity quantum communication.

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 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.

• Quantum-feedback-controlled macroscopic quantum nonlocality in cavity optomechanics [0.0]
  We propose a continuous measurement and feedback scheme to achieve strong Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering and Bell nonlocality. We analytically reveal that this is because the feedback drives the mechanical oscillators into a steady approximate two-mode squeezed vacuum state. It is found that Bell nonlocality is much more vulnerable to thermal noise than EPR steerable nonlocality.
