Abstract: In an optomechanical system (OMS), the dynamics of quantum correlations, e.g., quantum discord, can witness synchronized squeezing between the cavity and mechanical modes. We investigate an OMS driven by two coherent fields, and demonstrate that optimal quantum correlations and squeezing synchronization can be achieved by carefully tuning key parameters: the cavity-laser detunings, loss rates, and the effective coupling ratio between the optomechanical interaction and the amplitude drive. By employing the steady-state solution of the covariance matrix within the Lyapunov framework, we identify the conditions under which squeezing becomes stabilized. Furthermore, we demonstrate that synchronized squeezing of the cavity and mechanical modes can be effectively controlled by tuning the loss ratio between the cavity and mechanical subsystems. Alternatively, in the case where the cavity is driven by a single field, we demonstrate that synchronized squeezing in the conjugate quadratures of the cavity and mechanical modes can still be achieved, provided that the cavity is coupled to a squeezed reservoir. The presence of this engineered reservoir compensates the absent driving field, by injecting directional quantum noise, thereby enabling the emergence of steady-state squeezing correlations between the two modes. A critical aspect of our study reveals how the interplay between dissipative and driven-dispersive squeezing mechanisms governs the system’s bandwidth and robustness against decoherence. Our findings provide a versatile framework for manipulating quantum correlations and squeezing in OMS, with applications in quantum metrology, sensing, and the engineering of nonclassical states. This work advances the understanding of squeezing synchronization and offers new strategies for enhancing quantum-coherent phenomena in dissipative environments.
