Quantum correlations under the effect of a thermal environment in a triangular optomechanical cavity (2004.02263v1)

Abstract: We quantify the stationary correlations between the optical mode and the relative mechanical mode of a ring cavity composed of a fixed mirror and two movable ones in a triangular design. The bipartite covariance matrix, is used to evaluate the logarithmic negativity as a measure of entanglement, the Gaussian quantum discord as a measure of total quantum correlations and the mutual information as a measure of the overall correlations. The behaviour of these quantities with respect to the environment's temperature as well as other parameters such as the laser pumping power and mass of the movable mirrors is discussed.
