Coupled nanomechanical resonators are prime examples for studying synchronization effects and nonlinear dynamics. Additionally, high-quality resonators are considered as building blocks for all-mechanical information processing platforms [1,2].This, however, requires the possibility to tune the relevant mode frequencies independently and to operate the resonators in the strong coupling regime. Here, we present a possible realization consisting of two high-quality (Q≈ 105) SiN nanostring resonators in the MHz regime, coupled mechanically by a shared support. We demonstrate that the fundamental mode frequencies of both nanostrings can be tuned independently by a strong drive tone resonant with one of the higher harmonic modes. We investigate the coherent dynamics of the two strongly-coupled nanostring resonators acting as an effective classical two-level system. We discuss the observation of classical Rabi oscillations and classical Landau-Zener dynamics indicating coherent and selective phonon transfer between two spatially separated mechanical resonators.
