Quantum Interfaces between Nanomechanical Systems and Cold Atoms — •Peter Zoller — Institut für Theoretische Physik, A-6020 Innsbruck, Austria

We propose and analyze quantum interfaces between nanomechanical systems and single atoms, or to ensembles of atoms, where the exchange of optical photons plays the role of the quantum data bus. Specific examples to be discussed include the generation of a continuous variable EPR-state and teleportation protocol between a nanomechanical oscillator and a distant atomic ensemble [1], the strong coupling of single atoms in cavities in an optomechanical setup [2], and couplings of cold atoms in an optical lattice to a moving mirror or membrane [3].
