A duality between a dark state and a quasi-dark state

Abstract

We consider the optomechanical system consisting of an atom-cavity system coupled with a mechanical resonator, and expand the notion of quasi-dark state to the optomechanical system. We theoretically prove that even if both the one-mode light of the cavity and the one-mode Bose field of the mechanical resonator interact with the atom, each of a dark state and a quasi-dark state has an individual chance to appear when an interaction between the one-mode light and the one-mode Bose field exists. We then come up with a duality between the dark state and the quasi-dark state.
