Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the stationary entanglement and quantum discord between the cavity and mechanical oscillator mode of an optomechanical system whose cavity contains three-level atoms. We examine how sharing entanglement and correlations would be affected by increasing the level of atoms injected into the cavity. In particular, using the appropriate preference of injected atoms to the cavity and optical cavity detuning, we found the impact of atoms and couplings on the degree of steady-state entanglement and quantum discord. Consequently, the stationary entanglement and quantum discord together rise to a certain range of normalized detuning and atom injection levels. Furthermore, both entanglement and Gaussian quantum discord are enhanced when three-level atoms are present, and the maximum entanglement manifests closest to the ringing case. Moreover, we are aware that the system’s physical parameters affect the generation of stationary entanglement and quantum correlation. Therefore, these results may provide a platform for a valuable asset in the practical realization of continuous variable entanglement and quantum information processing.
