Continuous variable entanglement between propagating optical modes using optomechanics

Abstract

This article proposes a new method to entangle two spatially separated output laser fields from an optomechanical cavity with a membrane in the middle. The radiation pressure force coupling is used to modify the correlations between the input and the output field quadratures. Then the laser fields at the optomechanical cavity output are entangled using the quantum back-action nullifying meter technique. The effect of thermal noise on the entanglement is studied. For experimentally feasible parameters, the entanglement between the laser fields survives upto room temperature.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figures, 68 reference
