Transferring Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen State Cross Frequency Bands via Cavity Electro-Opto-Mechanical Converters

Abstract

In order to transfer two-mode quantum state from optical input to microwave output, we propose a scheme based on double cavity electro-opto-mechanical converters. Principles and operation modes of cavity electro-opto-mechanical converter are introduced in detail, and theoretical model of transferring Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen state via our scheme is built. The dynamics and corresponding scattering matrixes of our scheme are analyzed carefully. Meanwhile, Ulhmann fidelity is utilized to quantify the similarity of initial state and final state, which also stands for the performance of our scheme. Influences of coupling rates and optical input bandwidth on fidelity are well discussed, and some significant factors are also taken into consideration, such as transmission spectrum, interaction rates and decoherence rates. Furthermore, Wigner distributions of initial state and final state as well as the von Neumann entropy are obtained to verify the performance of our scheme. The results show that our scheme could transfer the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen state from optical input to microwave output with high fidelity (0.74), and the entropy ratio between initial and final states is about 0.78, which is quite close with the fidelity. Besides, Wigner distributions also show that initial state and final state are slightly different in phase structures. In case of strong coupling rates, ultralow temperature and narrow input bandwidth, the performance of our scheme could be further enhanced.
