Abstract

We present a convenient and efficient scheme to generate arbitrarily multipartite continuous-variable entanglement via mechanical oscillator displacement induced by two strong input pump fields in the conventional single-cavity optomechanical system. It is shown that multipartite entanglement among the outputs of the two pump fields and any number of relatively weak probe fields can be realized and optimized when the two pump fields with suitable amplitude ratio and relative initial phase are, respectively, tuned to the red and blue mechanical sidebands of a single cavity mode and each probe field is red-detuned by the mechanical frequency with respect to a different neighboring cavity mode. This method can, in principle, be extended to flexibly and conveniently generate arbitrarily multiple nondegenerate bright entangled fields by using only coherent laser fields, and may find promising applications in realistic quantum communication and networks.
