Nonreciprocal entanglement in a molecular optomechanical system

We propose a theoretical scheme to generate nonreciprocal bipartite entanglement between a cavity mode and vibrational modes in a molecular cavity optomechanical system. Our system consists of N molecules placed inside a spinning whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) resonator. The vibrational modes of these molecules are coupled to the WGM resonator mode (which is analogous to a plasmonic cavity) and the resonator is also coupled to an auxiliary optical cavity. We demonstrate that nonreciprocal photon-vibration entanglement and nonreciprocal vibration–vibration entanglement can be generated in this system, even at high temperatures. These nonreciprocal entanglements arise due to the Sagnac–Fizeau effect induced by the spinning WGM resonator. We find that spinning the WGM resonator in the counter-clockwise (CCW) direction enhances both types of nonreciprocal entanglement, especially under blue-detuned driving of the optical cavity mode. Furthermore, we show that vibration–vibration entanglement can be significantly enhanced by increasing the number of molecules. Our findings have potential applications in quantum information transmission and in the development of nonreciprocal quantum devices.
