We consider how a single photon can probe the quantum nature of a moving mirror in the context of quantum optomechanics. In particular, we demonstrate how the single-photon spectrum reveals resonances that depend on how many phonons are created as well as on the strength of the mirrorphoton interaction. A dressed-state picture is used to explain positions and relative strengths of those resonances. The time-dependent spectrum shows how the resonances are built up over time by the photon interacting with the moving mirror.

“…Recently, quantum entanglement between radiation and mechanical systems and also quantum squeezing of mechanical uncertainty have been demonstrated [14,16,17]. These experiments can be extended to prepare various quantum states of mechanical system [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45]. To reach a high quality of transfer for any state of light to mechanical systems, universal interfaces have been proposed as well [46][47][48][49].…”

Extracting work from quantum states of radiation

Quantum optomechanics opens a possibility to mediate a physical connection of quantum optics and classical thermodynamics. We propose and theoretically analyze a one-way chain starting from various quantum states of radiation. In the chain, the radiation state is first ideally swapped to sufficiently large mechanical oscillator (membrane). Then the membrane mechanically pushes a classical almost mass-less piston, which is pressing a gas in a small container. As a result we observe strongly nonlinear and nonmonotonic transfer of the energy stored in classical and quantum uncertainty of radiation to mechanical work. The amount of work and even its sign depends strongly on the uncertainty of the radiation state. Our theoretical prediction would stimulate an experimental proposals for such optomechanical connection to thermodynamics.

“…In this regime the system dynamics is linear and one is typically restricted to the manipulation and detection of Gaussian states of optical and mechanical modes [4]. If the single-photon optomechanical coupling is large enough, the nonlinear dispersive nature of the radiation-pressure interaction would allow the observation of a number of phenomena which has been recently predicted, such as photon blockade [5], generation of mechanical non-Gaussian steady states [6,7], nontrivial photon statistics in the presence of coherent driving [8][9][10], quantum non-demolition measurement [11] and quantum gates [12] at the single photon/phonon level.…”
