Rotational mirror–mirror entanglement via dissipative atomic reservoir in a double-Laguerre–Gaussian-cavity system

Abstract

Abstract We propose a new scheme to prepare macroscopic entanglement between two rotating mirrors using dissipative atomic reservoir in a double-Laguerre–Gaussian-cavity system. The two-level atomic system driven by a strong field, acts as a single pathway of Bogoliubov dissipation to push the two original cavity modes into the desirable entangled state under the near-resonant conditions. Successively, the photon–photon entanglement can be transferred to mirror–mirror entanglement through the exchange of orbital angular momentum. In essence, the macroscopic entanglement is originated from the dissipative atomic reservoir rather than the radiation torque, thereby it is usually robust against environmental noises. The present scheme provides a feasible way to realize stable entanglement between spatially separated mirrors with high capacity, which may find potential applications in remote quantum communications.
