Effects of feedback

1.1K
Feedback in control systems plays a critical role in shaping various operational parameters, extending beyond simple error reduction to influence stability, bandwidth, gain, impedance, and sensitivity. Understanding these effects requires examining a basic feedback system characterized by defined input, output, error, and feedback signals.
Feedback significantly modifies the gain of a control system. The gain of a system without feedback is altered by a factor of one plus GH, where G represents...

Area of Science:

  • Quantum Optics
  • Cavity Optomechanics

Background:

  • A key objective in quantum optics is achieving strong interactions between single photons.
  • Cavity optomechanics utilizes photon-resonator interactions, like radiation pressure, to influence motional degrees of freedom.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate that optical nonlinearity in optomechanical systems can be enhanced with feedback to enable strong single-photon interactions.
  • To propose a protocol for generating photon-photon interactions in a waveguide using an optomechanical system.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed a protocol involving photons in a waveguide interacting via multiple bounces off an optomechanical system.
  • Analyzed the protocol by evolving the full many-body quantum state of the coupled system.

Main Results:

  • Showed that feedback can sufficiently enhance optical nonlinearity in optomechanical systems.
  • Demonstrated that this enhancement can lead to large interactions between single photons.

Conclusions:

  • Large photon-photon interactions mediated by mechanical motion are potentially achievable.
  • The proposed feedback-enhanced protocol offers a viable route for strong single-photon interactions in waveguide systems.
