Surviving Entanglement in Optic-Microwave Conversion by Electro-Optomechanical System

Abstract

In recent development of quantum technologies, a frequency conversion of quantum signals has been studied widely. We investigate the optic-microwave entanglement that is generated by applying an electro-optomechanical frequency conversion scheme to one mode in an optical two-mode squeezed vacuum state. We quantify entanglement of the converted two-mode Gaussian state, where surviving entanglement of the state is analyzed with respect to the parameters of the electro-optomechanical system. Furthermore, we show that there exists an upper bound for the entanglement that survives after the conversion of highly entangled optical states. Our study provides a theoretical platform for a practical quantum illumination system.
