摘要
We consider a system of two driven optomechanical cavities coupled reversibly to each other and explore entanglement between the different optical and mechanical modes in the collective system. We find that while the optical and mechanical modes within each cavity are entangled as expected [1], interestingly, phonons of one cavity can also be entangled quite robustly with those of the other cavity well into the steady state.
