Macroscopic thermal entanglement due to radiation pressure

  • 25 April 2005
Abstract
We show the generation of entanglement, at any finite temperature, between a high Q cavity mode field with a movable mirror in a thermal state, via radiation pressure coupling. By applying markers and measures of entanglement for qubits to two level subsystems of the field, the dependence of entanglement in the relevant physical parameters is studied. Two different dynamical regimes of generation of entanglement, separated by a critical coupling strength, are identified.
