Monogamy of quantum correlations shared in a cavity-freeoptomechanical system

Abstract

Abstract In this work, we discuss the monogamy property of quantum correlations (entanglement and steering) distributed in a cavity-free optomechanical system. In a tripartite pure Gaussian state, we verify the hierarchy of the studied quantum correlations. We investigate in detail the CKW-type monogamy inequalities, based on Gaussian Rényi-2 entropy entanglement, as well as, Gaussian steering. We quantify genuine tripartite entanglement by using the minimum residual Gaussian entanglement. In addition, we consider the minimum residual Gaussian steering as a quantifier of genuine tripartite steering. Our results indicate that, in the one-mode versus two-mode Gaussian state, the correlations hierarchy was respected; in the considered pure state, the monogamy of entanglement and steering distribution was proven and the studied genuine tripartite correlations have similar time evolution under the same conditions.
