Generation of generalized hybrid entanglement in cavity electro–optic systems

Abstract

Abstract Schrödinger’s cat paradox has revealed the entanglement between microscopic and macroscopic objects. Recently, several approaches have been proposed to generate such hybrid entangled state. In this paper, we demonstrate the generation of generalized hybrid entangled state in a cavity electro–optic system. The hybrid entangled state between the optical cavity and the microwave field is generated by a one-step evolution. Numerical simulations show that the high-fidelity entangled state is obtained even if the decay of the system is considered. Also, this proposal can be applied to generate macroscopic quantum superposition states of the microwave field.
