Generation of a Schrödinger cat state in a hybrid ferromagnet-superconductor system

Abstract

The hybrid system between the transmon and the magnon plays an important role in quantum information science. Additionally, the cat states of the magnon are a valuable quantum resource and represent macroscopic quantum superpositions of large numbers of spins. In this paper, we propose an approach to generate magnonic Schr\"odinger cat states (SCSs) in a hybrid ferromagnet-superconductor system. Moreover, high-fidelity magnonic SCSs can be generated when the dissipation of the system is considered. The coherent amplitude and the fidelities of the cat states can be adjusted by controlling the parameters of the system.
