Entangling macroscopic oscillators exploiting radiation pressure
arXiv:quant-ph/0108044 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.88.120401
Abstract
It is shown that radiation pressure can be profitably used to entangle {\it macroscopic} oscillators like movable mirrors, using present technology. We prove a new sufficient criterion for entanglement and show that the achievable entanglement is robust against thermal noise. Its signature can be revealed using common optomechanical readout apparatus.
