Controllable double quantum state transfers by one topological channel in a frequency-modulated optomechanical array

Abstract

We propose a scheme to achieve the quantum state transfer via the topological protected edge channel based on a one dimensional frequency-modulated optomechanical array. We find that the optomechanical array can be mapped into a Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model after eliminating the counter rotating wave terms via frequency modulations. By dint of the edge channel of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, we show that the quantum state transfer between the photonic left edge state and the photonic right edge state can be achieved with a high fidelity. Specially, our scheme can also achieve another phononic quantum state transfer based on the same channel via controlling the next-nearest-neighboring interactions between the cavity fields, which is different from the previous investigations only achieving one kind of quantum state transfer. Our scheme provides a novel path to switch two different kinds of quantum state transfers in a controllable way.
