Motion-induced enhancement of Rabi coupling between atomic ensembles in cavity optomechanics

Abstract

We propose a scheme of enhancement of Rabi coupling between two identical atomic ensembles trapped inside an optical cavity in a membrane-in-the-middle set up. The cavity modes dispersively interact with the ensembles and the effective interaction between the ensembles is governed by the tunnelling rate of the cavity modes through the oscillating membrane. We have shown that this interaction can be made large enough such that the Rabi oscillation occurs in a time-scale, much smaller than the relevant decay time-scales of the cavity modes and of the membrane. We present the detailed analytical and numerical results and assess the feasibility of the scheme using currently available technology.
