- Abstract
We show that optomechanical quantum systems can undergo dissipative phase transitions within the limit of small nonlinear interaction and strong external drive. In such a defined thermodynamical limit, the nonlinear interaction stabilizes optomechanical dynamics in strong and ultrastrong coupling regimes. As a consequence optomechanical systems possess a rich phase diagram consisting of periodic orbits, discontinuous, and continuous dissipative phase transitions with and without bifurcation. We also find a critical point where continuous and discontinuous dissipative phase transition lines meet. Our analysis demonstrates that optomechanical systems are valuable for understanding the rich physics of dissipative phase transitions and ultrastrong coupling regimes.
