Abstract
We investigate in detail the properties of the stationary quantum steering of two mechanical modes, where the two mechanical modes interact with two coupling cavity modes, and two four-tone driving lasers are used to pump the two cavity modes. By controlling the pumping lasers, the two cavity modes can act as two engineered reservoirs to cool the two mechanical modes to a squeezed state. When the damping rates of the two mechanical modes are different, numerical simulation results show that there are parameter regions where the state of the two mechanical modes only has one-way quantum steering, which is the most prominent feature of quantum steering from quantum entanglement.
