$\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetry-breaking enhanced cavity optomechanical magnetometry

Abstract

$\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetry-breaking enhanced cavity optomechanical magnetometer is proposed, which is achieved by monitoring the change of intensity of a nonlinear four-wave mixing (FWM) process in a gain-cavity-assisted cavity optomechanical system (COMS). Compared with the traditional single loss COMS, the FWM intensity can be enhanced by two orders of magnitude when the gain-cavity-assisted COMS operates at the $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetry-breaking phase. Meanwhile, the sensitivity of magnetic field sensing can be increased from $10^{-9}$T to $10^{-11}$T. This originally comes from the fact that the effective detuning and decay of loss-cavity can be effectively modified in the $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetry-breaking phase. Our work shows that an ultrahigh-sensitivity magnetometer can be achieved in the $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetry-breaking COMS, which will have wide applications in the field of quantum sensing.
