Squeezer-based pulsed optomechanical interface (1511.08611v3)

Abstract: We prove feasibility of high-fidelity pulsed optomechanical interface based on all-optical presqueezing of non-Gaussian quantum states of light before they enter the optomechanical system. We demonstrate that feasible presqueezing of optical states effectively increases the low noise transfer of them to mechanical oscillator. It allows one to surpass the limit necessary to transfer highly nonclassical states with negative Wigner function. In particular, we verify that with this help single photon states of light can be efficiently turned to single phonon states of mechanical oscillator, keeping the negativity of the Wigner function. It opens the possibility to merge quantum optomechanics with the recent methods of quantum optics.
