Abstract:
A strategy for generating entanglement between two separated optomechanical oscillators is analyzed, using entangled radiation produced from down-conversion and stored in an initiating cavity. We show that the use of pulsed entanglement with optimally shaped temporal modes can efficiently transfer quantum entanglement into a mechanical mode, then remove it after a fixed waiting time for measurement. This protocol could provide new avenues for testing for bounds on decoherence in massive systems that are spatially separated, as originally suggested by Furry not long after the discussion by Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen and Schrödinger of entanglement.
