We realize a simple and robust optomechanical system with a multitude of long-lived (Q > 107) mechanical modes in a phononic-bandgap shielded membrane resonator. An optical mode of a compact Fabry–Perot resonator detects these modes’ motion with a measurement rate (96 kHz) that exceeds the mechanical decoherence rates already at moderate cryogenic temperatures (10 K). Reaching this quantum regime entails, inter alia, quantum measurement backaction exceeding thermal forces and thus strong optomechanical quantum correlations. In particular, we observe ponderomotive squeezing of the output light mediated by a multitude of mechanical resonator modes, with quantum noise suppression up to −2.4 dB (−3.6 dB if corrected for detection losses) and bandwidths ≲90 kHz. The multimode nature of the membrane and Fabry–Perot resonators will allow multimode entanglement involving electromagnetic, mechanical, and spin degrees of freedom.

In an optomechanical system consisting of two Fabry–Pérot cavities fed by squeezed light and coupled via Coulomb interaction, we respectively use the logarithmic negativity, Gaussian discord and Gaussian coherence to analyze the behavior of three different indicators of nonclassicality, namely the entanglement, quantum discord and quantum coherence. We perform the rotating wave approximation and work in the resolved sideband regime. In two bi-mode states (optical and mechanical), the coherence is generally found to be greater than entanglement and discord. More interestingly, we show that the Coulomb interaction can be used either to degrade or enhance the nonclassical properties of the optical subsystem. In addition, compared with the discord and coherence, the mechanical entanglement is found strongly sensitive to both thermal and Coulomb effects, and it requires a minimum value of cooperativity to be generated. Remarkably, this minimum increases when increasing the Coulomb coupling strength. Finally, we notice that an optimal transfer of quantum correlations between the optical and mechanical subsystems is achieved in the absence of the Coulomb interaction.

Controlling the motion of macroscopic oscillators in the quantum regime has been the subject of intense research in recent decades. In this direction, opto-mechanical systems, where the motion of micro-objects is strongly coupled with laser light radiation pressure, have had tremendous success. In particular, the motion of levitating objects can be manipulated at the quantum level thanks to their very high isolation from the environment under ultra-low vacuum conditions. To enter the quantum regime, schemes using single long-lived atomic spins, such as the electronic spin of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond, coupled with levitating mechanical oscillators have been proposed. At the single spin level, they offer the formidable prospect of transferring the spins’ inherent quantum nature to the oscillators, with foreseeable far-reaching implications in quantum sensing and tests of quantum mechanics. Adding the spin degrees of freedom to the experimentalists’ toolbox would enable access to a very rich playground at the crossroads between condensed matter and atomic physics. We review recent experimental work in the field of spin-mechanics that employ the interaction between trapped particles and electronic spins in the solid state and discuss the challenges ahead. Our focus is on the theoretical background close to the current experiments, as well as on the experimental limits, that, once overcome, will enable these systems to unleash their full potential.

We study theoretically and experimentally the behavior of an optomechanical system where two vibrating dielectric membranes are placed inside a driven Fabry-Pérot cavity. We prove that multi–element systems of mechanical resonators are suitable for enhancing optomechanical performances, and we report a ∼2.47 gain in the optomechanical coupling strength of the membrane relative motion with respect to the single membrane case. With this configuration it is possible to enable cavity optomechanics in the strong single-photon coupling regime.

We discuss some features of the dissipative quantum model of brain in the frame of the formalism of quantum dissipation. Such a formalism is based on the doubling of the system degrees of freedom. We show that the doubled modes account for the quantum noise in the fluctuating random force in the system-environment coupling. Remarkably, such a noise manifests itself through the coherent structure of the system ground state. The entanglement of the system modes with the doubled modes is shown to be permanent in the infinite volume limit. In such a limit the trajectories in the memory space are classical chaotic trajectories.
