Quantum signature of gravity in optomechanical systems with conditional measurement

Abstract

We investigate the quantum signature of gravity in optomechanical systems under quantum control. We analyze the gravity-induced entanglement and squeezing in mechanical mirrors in a steady state. The behaviors and the conditions for generating the gravity-induced entanglement and squeezing are identified in the Fourier modes of the mechanical mirrors. The condition of generating the entanglement between the mirrors found in the present paper is more severe than that of the gravity-induced entanglement between output lights. The gravity-induced entanglement in optomechanical systems is an important milestone towards verifying the quantum nature of gravity, which should be verified in the future.
