Exceptional point induced quantum phase synchronization and entanglement dynamics in mechanically coupled gain-loss oscillators

Abstract

The optomechanical cavity (OMC) system has been a paradigm in the manifestation of continuous variable quantum information over the past decade. This paper investigates how quantum phase synchronization relates to bipartite Gaussian entanglement in coupled gain-loss mechanical oscillators, where the gain and loss rates are engineered by driving the cavity with blue and red detuned lasers, respectively. We examine the role of exceptional point in a deterministic way of producing self-sustained oscillations that induce robust quantum correlations among quadrature fluctuations of the oscillators. Particularly, steady phase synchronization dynamics along with the entanglement phenomena are observed in the effective weak coupling regime above a critical driving power. These phenomena are further verified by observing the mechanical squeezing and phase space rotations of the Wigner distributions. Additionally, we discuss how the oscillators frequency mismatches and decoherence due to thermal phonons impact the system dynamics. These findings hold promise for applications in phonon-based quantum communication and information processing.
