Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The past decade has witnessed rapid and significant development in the field of cavity magnonics and hybrid systems based on magnons. This Special Issue is devoted to covering a variety of currently hot topics in hybrid systems based on magnons. These include the coupling between magnons and microwave cavity photons (electromagnonics), optical photons (optomagnonics), phonons (magnomechanics), superconducting qubits, etc. Topics include but are not limited to the following:

  • Non-classical states of microwave and optical fields;
  • Macroscopic quantum states of magnons and phonons;
  • Microwave-to-optics conversion;
  • Nonreciprocal microwave and optical transmission;
  • Kerr nonlinearity, including magnon self-Kerr and magnon–phonon cross-Kerr;
  • Magnomechanically induced transparency and absorption;
  • Magnon/photon blockade, antibunching, and frequency combs;
  • Magnon/phonon laser and chaos;
  • Magnetometry and thermometry;
  • Magnon-based weak field sensing;
  • Non-Hermitian and parity-time related physics;
  • Connection between magnomechanics, optomagnonics and optomechanics.

In this paper, we propose a scheme for measurement-based control of hybrid Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) entanglement and steering between distant macroscopic mechanical oscillator and yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere in a system of an electromechanical cavity unidirectionally coupled to an electromagnonical cavity.

In this paper, we propose a scheme for measurement-based control of hybrid Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) entanglement and steering between distant macroscopic mechanical oscillator and yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere in a system of an electromechanical cavity unidirectionally coupled to an electromagnonical cavity. We reveal that when the output of the electromagnonical cavity is continuously monitored by homodyne detection, not only the phonon–magnon entanglement and steering but also the purities of the phononic, magnonic and phonon–magnon states are considerably enhanced. We also find that the measurement can effectively retrieve the magnon-to-phonon steering, which is not yet obtained in the absence of the measurement. We show that unconditional phonon–magnon entanglement and steering can be achieved by introducing indirect feedback to drive the magnon and mechanical subsystems. The long-distance macroscopic hybrid entanglement and steering can be useful for, e.g., fundamental tests for quantum mechanics and quantum networks. Full article

Nonlinear interaction between the magnon mode and the mechanical mode in a magnomechanical system is treated analytically where the magnon mode is coherently driven by a bichromatic microwave drive field consisting of a strong pumping field and a weak probe field and that works within a perturbative regime. Using experimentally achievable parameters, we show that the magnonic second-order sideband is generated and can be considerably enhanced by increasing the power of the pumping field. The suppression of the magnonic second-order sideband generation at the resonance point is discussed. Furthermore, the efficiency of magnonic second-order sideband generation can be well controlled by adjusting the applied bias magnetic field strength, which is a particular feature compared to the optical second-order sideband. In addition to offering insights into the magnomechanical nonlinearity, the present results have the potential to pave the way for exploring practical applications for achieving high-precision measurement in magnonics.

Abstract
A protocol for realizing discrete-variable quantum teleportation in an optomagnonic system is provided. Using optical pulses, an arbitrary photonic qubit state encoded in orthogonal polarizations is transferred onto the joint state of a pair of magnonic oscillators in two macroscopic yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) spheres [...] Read more.
A protocol for realizing discrete-variable quantum teleportation in an optomagnonic system is provided. Using optical pulses, an arbitrary photonic qubit state encoded in orthogonal polarizations is transferred onto the joint state of a pair of magnonic oscillators in two macroscopic yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) spheres that are placed in an optical interferometer. We further show that optomagnonic entanglement swapping can be realized in an extended dual-interferometer configuration with a joint Bell-state detection. Consequently, magnon Bell states are prepared. We analyze the effect of the residual thermal occupation of the magnon modes on the fidelity in both the teleportation and entanglement swapping protocols. The work may find applications in the study of macroscopic quantum states, quantum information processing, and hybrid quantum networks based on magnonics. Full article
