We study cavity optomechanics of ultracold dual-species atomic mixtures with nonlinear collisions.Interspecies interactions provide a direct parametric coupling of fictitious mechanical elements which,through interfering with the intracavity optical field,leads to a switchable optically-dark state for either species.This demonstrates a matterwave analog of recently observed mechanical wave mixing and quantum motional-state swapping,with applications in the construction of integrated phononic devices,and the cavity-enhanced detection of quantum degenerate atomic mixtures.
