Result description
This work solves the nonlinear open-system dynamics of an optomechanical system coupled to structured environments, capturing both Ohmic and non-Ohmic (non-Markovian) noise. It shows that environmental structure critically impacts the effective nonlinearity—potentially enabling stronger quantum effects through engineered baths. These insights support new strategies for reaching nonlinear quantum regimes in cavity optomechanics.
We present exact analytic solutions for the nonlinear dynamics of a cavity optomechanical system coupled to both Markovian and non-Markovian baths, modeling full quantum Brownian motion. Our results reveal that while Markovian environments suppress optomechanical nonlinearity, certain non-Markovian baths can enhance it, offering a new route to accessing strong-coupling regimes. This work informs theoretical and experimental efforts in quantum optomechanics, particularly those targeting nonlinear effects in open systems.
