Driving optomechanics with quantum microwaves from inelastic Cooper pair tunneling — •Surangana Sengupta, Björn Kubala, Ciprian Padurariu, and Joachim Ankerhold — Institute for Complex Quantum Systems and IQST, Ulm University, 89069 Ulm, Germany

In cavity optomechanics the radiation-pressure forces of optical-light or microwave excitations of a resonator have been harnessed for a wide variety of purposes [1]: from cooling and the observation of quintessential quantum-mechanical effects, to archetypal nonlinear-dynamics phenomena, and the quantum-classical crossover between these regimes. On the other hand, inelastic Cooper-pair tunneling across a dc-biased junction can create diverse quantum states of microwave light in a cavity connected in series with the junction; owing to the inherent nonlinearity of the Josephson coupling [2].

Here, we theoretically investigate, how such states may be exploited to drive a mechanical degree of freedom to supplement or substitute classical or squeezed drives explored previously. Various possible coupling scenarios and first results of a semiclassical analysis will be discussed.
