Our paper titled “Time-evolution of nonlinear optomechanical systems: Interplay of mechanical squeezing and non-Gaussianity” has just been accepted for publication in Journal of Physics A: Theoretical and Mathematical. Here’s a short (technical) summary of the main results. The main result in this paper is the solution of a nonlinear optomechanical system with time-dependent interaction terms and time-dependent mechanical displacement and squeezing terms. With this solution, it is possible to model all kinds of different effects,…
