ABSTRACT: We propose a scheme for transferring quantum states from the propagating light fields to macroscopic, collective vibrational degree of freedom of a massive mirror by exploiting radiation pressure effects. This scheme may prepare an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen state in position and momentum of a pair of distantly separated movable mirrors by utilizing the entangled light fields produced from a nondegenerate optical parametric amplifier.
