Modulating nonreciprocal transmission in levitated magnomechanical systems

In this paper, we propose a model of a dual cavity magnomechanical system with two levitated yttrium iron garnet spheres to investigate nonreciprocal transmission of a microwave field. We use an external Coulomb force to bias the steady-state position of the sphere levitated in each microwave cavity, thereby establishing an independent and controllable effective couplings between the cavity modes and the magnon modes. This can break the symmetry of the system and serve as the basis for nonreciprocal transmission in this system. We demonstrated how to achieve the system nonreciprocity with an extremely high isolation ratio and flexible controllability by appropriately selecting the suspended positions of the levitated spheres, which are related to the external bias forces. We also analyze in detail the influence of the cavity detunings and the driving power on the bias-force-induced nonreciprocity. Our study provides an effective approach to manipulating flexibly nonreciprocal transmission of a microwave field and may have potential implications for the development of future nonreciprocal transmission devices.

Generating grating in cavity magnomechanics

Abstract We investigate the phenomenon of magnomechanically induced grating (MMIG) within a cavity magnomechanical system, comprising magnons (spins in a ferromagnet, such as yttrium iron garnet), cavity microwave photons, and phonons (Li et al 2018 Phys. Rev. Lett. 121 203601). By applying an external standing wave control, we observe modifications in the transmission profile of a probe light beam, signifying the presence of MMIG. Through numerical analysis, we explore the diffraction intensities of the probe field, examining the impact of interactions between cavity magnons, magnon-phonon interactions, standing wave field strength, and interaction length. MMIG systems leverage the unique properties of magnons, and collective spin excitations with attributes like long coherence times and spin-wave propagation. These distinctive features can be harnessed in MMIG systems for innovative applications in information storage, retrieval, and quantum memories, offering various orders of diffraction grating.

Entropy production rate and correlations in a cavity magnomechanical system

We present the irreversibility generated by a stationary cavity magnomechanical system composed of a yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere with a diameter of a few hundred micrometers inside a microwave cavity. In this system, the magnons, i.e., collective spin excitations in the sphere, are coupled to the cavity photon mode via magnetic dipole interaction and to the phonon mode via magnetostrictive force (optomechanical-like). We employ the quantum phase-space formulation of the entropy change to evaluate the steady-state entropy production rate and associated quantum correlation in the system. We find that the behavior of the entropy flow between the cavity photon mode and the phonon mode is determined by the magnon-photon coupling and the cavity photon dissipation rate. Interestingly, the entropy production rate can increase/decrease depending on the strength of the magnon-photon coupling and the detuning parameters. We further show that the amount of correlations between the magnon and phonon modes is linked to the irreversibility generated in the system for small magnon-photon coupling. Our results demonstrate the possibility of exploring irreversibility in driven magnon-based hybrid quantum systems and open a promising route for quantum thermal applications.

Detection of entanglement by harnessing extracted work in magnomechanics

The connections between thermodynamics and quantum information processing are of paramount importance. Here, we address a bipartite entanglement via extracted work in a cavity magnomechanical system contained inside an yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere. The photons and magnons interact through an interaction between magnetic dipoles. A magnetostrictive interaction, analogous to radiation pressure, couple’s phonons and magnons. The extracted work was obtained through a device similar to the Szilárd engine. This engine operates by manipulating the photon–magnon as a bipartite quantum state. We employ logarithmic negativity to measure the amount of entanglement between photon and magnon modes in steady and dynamical states. We explore the extracted work, separable work, and maximum work for squeezed thermal states. We investigate the amount of work extracted from a bipartite quantum state, which can potentially determine the degree of entanglement present in that state. Numerical studies show that entanglement, as detected by the extracted work and quantified by logarithmic negativity, are in good agreement. We show the reduction of extracted work by a second measurement compared to a single measurement. Also, the efficiency of the Szilárd engine in steady and dynamical states is investigated. We hope this work is of paramount importance in quantum information processing.

Magnon‐Squeezing‐Enhanced Phonon Lasering in Cavity Magnomechanics

AbstractPhonon lasers have long been a subject of interest and possess broad application prospects. Much effort is devoted to lay the foundation of realizing phonon lasers using cavity magnomechanical systems, but up to now no related work is carried out to explore the quantum‐squeezing‐engineered phonon laser action in cavity magnomechanics. Here, the phonon laser action is investigated in a three‐mode cavity magnomechanical system built based on a microwave resonator‐yttrium iron garnet sphere composite device, focusing on the effect induced by the magnon‐mode squeezing. It is found that the magnon squeezing can improve the effective magnon–photon and magnon–phonon coupling rates. It is demonstrated that the phonon laser action can be engineered and enhanced by changing the squeezing strength. This scheme provides a new mechanism to improve the effective magnon–photon and magnon–phonon couplings for various applications, and demonstrates the feasibility of realizing high‐gain and low‐threshold phonon lasers with cavity magnomechanical platforms.

Hierarchy of tripartite entanglement detection in a cavity magnomechanical system

We propose a criterion for detecting quantum states containing non-zero entanglement with respect to all possible bipartitions of a tripartite system. Our criterion, together with two other criteria, forms a hierarchy of tripartite entanglement detection, revealing three distinct types: genuine tripartite entanglement, entanglement with respect to all bipartitions, and standard tripartite entanglement. Furthermore, we present a feasible scheme for generating and detecting this hierarchy of tripartite entanglement within a cavity magnomechanical system. Our research paves the way for generating and detecting tripartite entanglement hierarchies in continuous variable systems.

Entanglement enhancement through magnon squeezing and optical parametric amplifier in cavity magnomechanics

We consider a cavity magnomechanical (CMM) system comprising magnon, cavity, and phonon modes. The coupling between the magnon and cavity, as well as between magnon and phonon, is mediated by the magnetic-dipole interaction and magnetostrictive interaction, respectively. By incorporating the optical parametric amplifier (OPA) and magnon squeezing mechanisms induced by the magnon self-Kerr nonlinearity, we observe a significant enhancement in entanglement between magnon-cavity, cavity-phonon, as well as tripartite entanglement, compared to the case where OPA and magnon squeezing are not introduced. We also explore the adverse effect of the thermal bath on the mechanical mode, specifically concerning the generation of magnon–phonon entanglement. Additionally, the presence of both magnon squeezing and OPA has been shown to play a crucial role in enhancing the robustness of entanglement against thermal effects compared to the cases when OPA is applied alone or when magnon squeezing is used alone. Here, the entanglement between the magnon and cavity persists up to a temperature of 284 mK, higher than previously observed values. The current CMM system shows promise for use in quantum tasks where it is necessary to enhance entanglement.

Quantum-state engineering in cavity magnomechanics formed by two-dimensional magnetic materials

Cavity magnomechanics has become an ideal platform to explore macroscopic quantum effects. Bringing together magnons, phonons, and photons in a system, it opens many opportunities for quantum technologies. It was conventionally realized by an yttrium iron garnet, which exhibits a parametric magnon–phonon coupling mˆ†mˆ(bˆ†+bˆ) , with mˆ and bˆ being the magnon and phonon modes. Inspired by the recent realization of two-dimensional (2D) magnets, we propose a cavity magnomechanical system using a 2D magnetic material with both optical and magnetic drivings. It features the coexisting photon–phonon radiation-pressure coupling and quadratic magnon–phonon coupling mˆ†mˆ(bˆ†+bˆ)2 induced by the magnetostrictive interaction. A stable squeezing of the phonon and bi- and tri-partite entanglements among the three modes are generated in the regimes with a suppressed phonon number. Compared with previous schemes, ours does not require any extra nonlinear interaction and reservoir engineering and is robust against the thermal fluctuation. Enriching the realization of cavity magnomechanics, our system exhibits its superiority in quantum-state engineering due to the versatile interactions enabled by its 2D feature.

Dissipative coupling induced UWB magnonic frequency comb generation

Magnonic frequency combs have recently attracted particular attention due to their potential impact on spin-wave science. Here, we demonstrate theoretically the generation of ultra-wideband magnonic frequency combs induced by dissipative coupling in an open cavity magnomechanical system. A broadband comb with gigahertz repetition rates is obtained in the magnonic spectrum, and a typical non-perturbation frequency-comb structure is also observed. The total width of the magnonic comb in the robust plateau region can be up to ∼400 comb lines, which is much broader and flatter than that reported in the previous works. Furthermore, when the dissipative coupling strength is further increased, the chaotic motion is predicted in the magnonic spectrum. Our results provide an in-depth understanding of nonlinear magnomechanic dynamics in open quantum systems and fundamentally broaden the research range of magnon in wider spectral regimes.

Achieving Strong Magnon Blockade through Magnon Squeezing in a Cavity Magnetomechanical System

AbstractA scheme that harnesses magnon squeezing under weak pump driving within a cavity magnomechanical system to achieve a robust magnon (photon) blockade is proposed. Through meticulous analytical calculations of optimal parametric gain and detuning values, the objective is to enhance the second‐order correlation function. The findings demonstrate a substantial magnon blockade effect under ideal conditions, accompanied by a simultaneous photon blockade effect. Impressively, both numerical and analytical results are found to be in complete accord, providing robust validation for the consistency of the findings. It is anticipated that the proposed scheme will serve as a pioneering approach toward the practical realization of magnon (photon) blockade in experimental cavity magnomechanical systems.

Distant entanglement via photon hopping in a coupled cavity magnomechanical system

We theoretically propose a scheme to generate distant bipartite entanglement between various subsystems in coupled magnomechanical systems where both the microwave cavities are coupled through single photon hopping coupling strength Γ. Each cavity contains a magnon mode and phonon mode and this gives six excitation modes in our model Hamiltonian which are cavity-1 photons, cavity-2 photons, magnon and phonon in cavity-1, and magnon and phonon in cavity-2. We found that significant bipartite entanglement exists between indirectly coupled subsystems in coupled microwave cavities for an appropriate set of parameters regime. Moreover, we also obtain suitable cavity and magnon detuning parameters for a significant distant bipartite entanglement in different bipartitions. In addition, it can be seen that a single photon hopping parameter significantly affects both the degree as well as the transfer of quantum entanglement between various bipartitions. Hence, our present study related to coupled microwave cavity magnomechanical configuration will open new perspectives in coherent control of various quantum correlations including quantum state transfer among macroscopic quantum systems.

Feedback Control of Quantum Correlations in a Cavity Magnomechanical System with Magnon Squeezing.

We suggest a method to improve quantum correlations in cavity magnomechanics, through the use of a coherent feedback loop and magnon squeezing. The entanglement of three bipartition subsystems: photon-phonon, photon-magnon, and phonon-magnon, is significantly improved by the coherent feedback-control method that has been proposed. In addition, we investigate Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering under thermal effects in each of the subsystems. We also evaluate the scheme's performance and sensitivity to magnon squeezing. Furthermore, we study the comparison between entanglement and Gaussian quantum discord in both steady and dynamical states.

Enhanced Entanglement and Quantum Steering Induced by a Common Reservoir in Cavity Magnomechanics

AbstractThis study proposes to enhance entanglement and control quantum steering via dissipative coupling in an open cavity magnomechanical system connected to a common reservoir shared by photon and magnon modes. In such a system, dissipative coupling induced by the common reservoir plays a crucial role in producing entanglements and quantum steering. The photon‐magnon‐phonon tripartite entanglement is significantly enhanced, exhibiting periodic sudden death and resurgence with the relative phase between coherent and dissipative couplings. It is revealed that the collaboration between dissipative and coherent couplings can produce entanglement and steering even in the absence of nonlinearity within the system. Moreover, the steering directivity can be controlled by adjusting the dissipative coupling strength and the relative phase. These findings are counterintuitive in terms of dissipation, which provides a novel approach for preparing quantum entanglement and manipulating quantum steering in an open system.
