Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of controlling the center-of-mass motion of optically suspended particles, and in particular to a method and device for controlling the center-of-mass motion of optically suspended particles. Background Art

[0002] Since Arthur Ashkin first experimentally proposed optical tweezers, they have been widely used in many fields, including biology, quantum information, and cutting-edge physics research, as a powerful tool for flexibly manipulating micro- and nanoscale objects (including dielectric particles and neutral atoms). Arthur Ashkin, the inventor of optical tweezers, was also awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2018. In particular, the use of optical tweezers to suspend micro- and nanoscale dielectric objects in a vacuum environment to form a suspended optical force system has become a research hotspot in the field of physics in recent years. It is used to measure precise physical quantities, including extremely weak forces, inertial acceleration, and extremely weak rotations, as well as to study cutting-edge physics problems, including non-Newtonian gravity, gravitational wave measurements, and the detection of dark matter and dark energy.

[0003] In a suspended optical force system, the optical levitation of mechanical oscillators avoids the loss and noise caused by mechanical support. At the same time, the high vacuum environment can greatly reduce the influence of the thermal noise of the surrounding gas molecules on the motion of the mechanical oscillators, which gives the suspended optical force system an ultra-high detection sensitivity. At the same time, optical tweezers have the ability to manipulate mechanical oscillators. That is, the suspended optical force system can manipulate the motion of micro- and nano-scale particles in different degrees of freedom with ultra-high precision, making it an ideal platform for studying mesoscopic / microscopic physics problems, such as non-equilibrium thermodynamics. In recent years, based on active feedback cooling and passive cavity cooling schemes, people have cooled the center of mass motion of mechanical oscillators to near the quantum ground state or the quantum ground state, forming a quantum suspended optical force system, which provides a feasible experimental platform for studying cutting-edge quantum object problems such as quantum interference phenomena and classical quantum boundaries at the macroscopic scale.

[0004] As we enter the quantum realm, manipulating the quantum state of mechanical oscillators has become crucial. This is because preparing a quantum system to the desired quantum state or manipulating the system to perform quantum state transitions (quantum gates) are essential fundamental operations, both in quantum communication and quantum computing, as well as in quantum measurement. Currently, in the field of suspended optomechanics, active feedback cooling or passive cavity cooling can be used to prepare the ground state of the center-of-mass motion of mechanical oscillators, but methods for effectively and precisely manipulating the motion of mechanical oscillators are still lacking.

[0049] 1. Equivalent JC and anti-JC interaction Hamiltonians

[0050] like Figure 1Consider a hybrid levitation optomechanical system, where a three-level atom and a nanoparticle are simultaneously suspended in an optical cavity by two optical tweezers; an external laser LC drives the optical cavity, forming a stable standing wave field in the cavity; the three-level atom has an excited state |s> and two ground states |e> and |g>. Among them, the atomic energy level transition Driven by a beam of classical laser LA, the energy level transition is coupled to the standing wave field in the cavity; at the same time, the center-of-mass motion of the nanoparticle is also coupled to the light field in the same cavity; the Hamiltonian of the entire hybrid levitation optomechanical system is

[0051]

[0052] in, and Represent the annihilation operators of cavity mode and nanoparticle (mechanical oscillator) respectively; ω c ,ω m ,ω i = s,e,g They are the frequencies of cavity mode, mechanical oscillator, and atomic energy level respectively.

[0053] The Hamiltonian of the interaction between atoms and cavity modes after the spin wave approximation is:

[0054]

[0055] in, is the interaction strength between atoms and cavity mode; ω Ω and Ω are the driving frequency and driving intensity of the classical driving laser LA, respectively.

[0056] The Hamiltonian of the interaction between the mechanical oscillator and the cavity mode based on the dipole-dipole interaction is:

[0057]

[0058] Among them, g m is the coupling strength, and its size can be adjusted by changing the position of the mechanical oscillator in the cavity through optical tweezers.

[0059] The driving Hamiltonian of the external laser LC is

[0060]

[0061] Among them, ω L and η are the driving frequency and driving intensity of the external driving laser LC, respectively.

[0062] After rotating the Hamiltonian of the entire system to the driving frequency of the laser LC, the time-independent Hamiltonian can be obtained as follows:

[0063]

[0064] The relevant detuning amount is defined as follows: Δ c =ω c -ω L , Δ g =ω g +ω L , Δ e =ω e +ω Ω .

[0065] In the case of strong driving, the cavity mode and mechanical oscillator operators can be rewritten as the sum of classical averages and quantum fluctuation operators, i.e., and Using the standard linearization procedure, we obtain the linear atom-oscillator-cavity (AOC) interaction Hamiltonian

[0066]

[0067] Among them, Δ′ c is the equivalent detuning amount, g a and G m are the equivalent coupling strengths between atoms and cavity modes and between mechanical oscillators and cavity modes, respectively.

[0068] Under large detuning conditions, after adiabatically eliminating the atomic excited state |s>, the equivalent two-level atom-mechanical oscillator-cavity Hamiltonian can be obtained as

[0069]

[0070] Among them, the equivalent detuning Equivalent coupling strength In the above formula, the interaction term between the mechanical oscillator and the cavity mode is Contains vortex terms and anti-rotational wave term We can adjust the detuning value Δ′ appropriately c , choose to keep the gyro terms or to remove the gyro terms.

[0071] When the detuning amount Δ′ c ~ω m When , only the gyro-wave term is retained in the Hamiltonian. After adiabatically eliminating the cavity mode, the equivalent Hamiltonian of the atom-mechanical oscillator is obtained as

[0072]

[0073] Among them, the equivalent detuning Equivalent coupling strength The above formula is the interaction Hamiltonian in standard JC form.

[0074] Similarly, when the detuning amount Δ′ c ~-ω m , only the anti-rotational wave term is retained in the Hamiltonian, and the anti-JC Hamiltonian is obtained as follows:

[0075]

[0076] in,

[0077] 2. Principle of Mechanical Oscillator Center-of-Mass Motion Control Based on JC and Anti-JC Hamiltonians

[0078] In the Hilbert subspace {|e, n〉, |g, n+1〉}, consider the resonance condition ω′ m -(Δ″ e -Δ g )=0, the JC interaction Hamiltonian in the interaction picture is

[0079]

[0080] Assume that the initial state of the atomic-mechanical oscillator is |ψ i >=|e,n>, by solving the Schrödinger equation The wave function of the system at any time is

[0081]

[0082] in, is the Rabi frequency, and the population evolution of quantum states |e, n〉 and |g, n+1〉 with time is

[0083]

[0084]

[0085] It can be seen from the above formula that under the action of the JC form of the interaction Hamiltonian, |e, n> and |g, n+1> undergo Rabi oscillations, that is, the center of mass motion of the mechanical oscillator is in the Fock state. Time period τ n =τ / Ω n Similarly, under the action of the anti-JC interaction Hamiltonian, |g, n> and |e, n+1> also undergo periodic Rabi oscillations. Therefore, by alternately using the JC and anti-JC forms of the interaction Hamiltonian, the center-of-mass motion of the mechanical oscillator can be converted between arbitrary Fock states |m> and |n>.

[0086] Currently, mechanical oscillators can be cooled to the quantum ground state through active feedback cooling or passive cavity cooling. Therefore, the center-of-mass motion manipulation method proposed in this invention can achieve precise control of the center-of-mass motion of mechanical oscillators.

[0087] 3. Numerical simulation results of manipulating the center of mass motion of optically levitated particles

[0088] This embodiment numerically simulates the process of manipulating the center-of-mass motion of optically levitated particles. Figure 4 The time evolution of the populations of the quantum states |e,0>, |g,1>, and |e,2> is given in the original Hamiltonian, (a) the equivalent JC Hamiltonian, and (b) the equivalent anti-JC Hamiltonian. The relevant parameters are set as follows:

[0089] For the JC interaction Hamiltonian, ω b =1,Δ′ c =1.1,ω s =0,Δ e =-11.4688, Δ g =-12.5,Ω=0.598111,g a =0.2, G m =0.01;

[0090] For the anti-JC interaction Hamiltonian, ω b =1,Δ′ c =-0.9,ω s =0,Δ e =-10.2748, Δ g =-9.3,Ω=0.488156,g a =0.2, G m =0.01.

[0091] As can be seen from the figure, by changing the cavity detuning amount, Rabi oscillations between quantum states |e,0> and |g,1> and quantum states |g,1> and |e,2> can be realized, and after a fixed time interval τ n =τ / Ω n The evolution of mechanical oscillators can be completed Bidirectional conversion. At the same time, Figure 4 The results show that the evolution of the population of each quantum state under the equivalent Hamiltonian is consistent with their evolution under the original Hamiltonian. Figure 4From the numerical results, it can be seen that by adjusting the detuning of the cavity light field, the JC and anti-JC forms of interaction Hamiltonians can be formed between the atoms and the mechanical oscillator. Then, alternating between the JC and anti-JC forms of Hamiltonians can drive the center-of-mass motion of the mechanical oscillator from the ground state |0> to an arbitrary Fock state |n>.

[0092] Figure 5 Numerical results are given for driving a mechanical oscillator from the ground state to the |2> state by alternating between the JC and anti-JC Hamiltonians. Specifically, the time evolution of the average phonon number of the mechanical oscillator is given. The relevant parameters are set as follows:

[0093] For the JC interaction Hamiltonian, ω b =1,Δ′ c =1.1,ω s =0,Δ e =-11.4688, Δ g =-12.5,Ω=0.59811,g a =0.2, G m =0.01,τ0=3141;

[0094] For the anti-JC interaction Hamiltonian, ω b =1,Δ′ c =-0.9,ω s =0,Δ e =-10.2848, Δ g =-9.3,Ω=0.488156,g a =0.2, G m =0.01,τ1=2198.

[0095] from Figure 5 It can be seen that the average phonon number of the mechanical oscillator gradually increases from 0 to 2, indicating that the mechanical oscillator is driven from the ground state to the Fock state |2>. This numerical result shows that by continuously alternating the JC and anti-JC Hamiltonians (changing the detuning amount), the mechanical oscillator can be driven from the ground state to the |2> state; further, a similar method can be used to drive the center of mass motion of the mechanical oscillator from the ground state to any Fock state |n>.
