Dark-Mode Control of Contrasting Entanglement and Bell Nonlocality between Mechanical Oscillators
Abstract
This study presents a detailed proposal for an optomechanical system consisting of two mechanical oscillators coupled to a common cavity, aimed at generating pure and entangled two-mode squeezed mechanical steady states. We found that the violation of Bell's measurement may not occur where the entanglement is maximum; rather, nonlocality can be observed for lower entangled states. A central result is that optomechanical coupling imperfections can enhance mechanical entanglement while simultaneously suppressing Bell nonlocality by reducing the purity of the mechanical state. To mitigate this trade-off, we introduce phase-dependent phonon hopping between the mechanical oscillators and show that Bell nonlocality can be selectively enhanced in specific dark-mode configurations, even when the overall entanglement is reduced. We trace this contrasting behaviorto changes in state purity associated with the imbalance of the Bogoliubov-mode occupations. Compatible with existing microwave cavity optomechanical platforms, the proposed architecture provides an experimentally accessible route for controlling nonlocal quantum correlations in multimode mechanical systems. Our proposed scheme serves as an attractive platform for the deployment of continuous-variable teleportation and high-fidelity quantum communication.
