Electrically coupled optomechanical cavities as a tool for quantum nondemolition measurement

Abstract

We present a new model of two electrically coupled optomechanical cavities. This model is based on the recently presented [Physical Review A \textbf{103} (2021) 043509]. We found that coupling two optomechanical cavities via Coulomb force leads to cross-Kerr interactions between those cavities. We show that such systems may be ideal for a protocol of quantum non-demolition measurement because it is easy to eliminate the self-phase modulation effect. Moreover, nonlinearities in our model are based on easily adjustable parameters, and therefore, given recent experimental studies, we believe that experimental realization of a cross-Kerr interaction via Coulomb force coupling is feasible.
