Effect of mechanical mode - qubit interaction on perfect optical non-reciprocity in double cavity system

Abstract Quantum devices exhibiting optical non-reciprocity are indispensable for quantum information processing and communication technology. In this paper we propose a double cavity optomechanical system where the movable mirror of the cavity is linearly coupled with a qubit placed inside the cavity. We study the effect of this mechanical mode - qubit linear interaction on time reversal symmetry i.e, optical non-reciprocity and prove that mechanical mode - qubit interaction can be used as a new tool to control optical non-reciprocity.
