Enhancing nanomechanical squeezing by atomic interactions in a hybrid atom-optomechanical system
Niklas Mann, Michael Thorwart
In a hybrid atom-optomechanical system, the optical coupling of a mechanical mode of a nanomembrane in an optical cavity with a distant interacting atom gas permits highly non-clas…

Tuning the Order of the Nonequilibrium Quantum Phase Transition in a Hybrid Atom-Optomechanical System
Niklas Mann, Axel Pelster, Michael Thorwart
We show that a hybrid atom-optomechanical quantum many-body system with two internal atom states undergoes both first- and second-order nonequilibrium quantum phase transitions. A…
