Quantum correlation of light mediated by gravity

Abstract

We propose to explore the quantum nature of gravity using the correlation of light between two optomechanical cavities, and the quantumness of the correlation is witnessed by squeezing. As long as the gravity between the end mirrors of two cavities is quantum in the Newtonian limit, we show that the squeezing is always nonzero and monotonically increases as the mechanical property of the mirrors is improved. The proposed scheme provides a new pathway for testing the quantum nature of gravity systematically with tabletop experiments.
