Abstract

We present a proposal to produce bipartite and tripartite entanglement in a hybrid magnon cavity QED system. Two macroscopic yttrium iron garnet (YIG) spheres are coupled to a single-mode microwave cavity, where the cavity photons are generated via a two-photon process induced by a strong pump field. Using mean-field theory, we show that nonlinear pumping can result in strong bipartite entanglement between the cavity photon and magnon under two conditions, i.e., ${\ensuremath{\delta}}_{c}{\ensuremath{\delta}}_{m}=2{g}^{2}$ and ${\ensuremath{\delta}}_{c}=\ensuremath{-}{\ensuremath{\delta}}_{m}$. For the latter one, we also show the possibility for producing bipartite entanglement between two magnon modes as well as tripartite entanglement among three modes. Combining these two conditions, we further derive a third condition, i.e., ${\ensuremath{\delta}}_{m}^{2}\ensuremath{-}{\ensuremath{\phi}}^{2}+2{g}^{2}=0$, where tripartite entanglement can be achieved when two magnon modes have different resonant frequencies.

Squeezed driving induced entanglement and squeezing among cavity modes and magnon mode in a magnon-cavity QED system

Ying Zhou, Jingping Xu, Shuangyuan Xie +1 more

We propose a scheme to generate entanglement between two cavity modes and squeeze magnon mode in a magnon-cavity QED system, where the two microwave cavity modes are coupled with a massive yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere through magnetic dipole interaction. The nonlinearity used in our system originates from a squeezed driving via parametric down-conversion process, which is the reason to cause entanglement and squeezing. By using the mean field approximation and employing experimentally feasible parameters, we demonstrate that the system shows zero entanglement and squeezing without squeezed driving. Meanwhile, our QED system denotes that the entanglement between squeezed cavity mode and magnon mode can be transferred to the other cavity mode and magnon mode via magnon-cavity coupling interaction, and then the two cavity modes get entangled. A genuinely tripartite entangled state is formed. We also show that magnon mode can be prepared in a squeezed state via magnon-cavity beam-splitter interaction, which is as a result of the squeezed field. Moreover, we show that it is a good way to enhance entanglement and squeezing by increasing the nonlinear gain coefficient of squeezed driving. Our results denote that magnon-cavity QED system is a powerful platform for studying macroscopic quantum phenomena, which illustrates a new method to photon-photon entanglement and magnon squeezing.

Bipartite and tripartite entanglement caused by squeezed drive in magnetic-cavity quantum electrodynamics system

Ying Zhou, Shuangyuan Xie, Jingping Xu

Utilizing optical nonlinearity for generating the entanglement is still a most widely used approach due to its quality and simplicity. Here in this paper, we propose a theoretical scheme to generate bipartite and tripartite entanglement in a cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) system with one Yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere by using a squeezed drive. In such a system, the parametric down-conversion process is used to generate the nonlinearity and further increase the coupling between cavity and YIG. Thus, the enhanced coupling between the microwave cavity photons and the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) mode/magnetostatic (MS) mode results in bipartite entanglements. By using the mean field theory, we show that the bipartite entanglements strongly depend on the detuning of the cavity and magnon mode. When the driving field is tuned to be resonant with the FMR mode, but the MS mode is far off-resonant, the entanglement between photons and the FMR mode reaches its maximum. However, when the driving field is tuned to be resonant with the MS mode, but the FMR mode is detuned very well, the entanglement between photons and the MS mode reaches its maximum. We show that the dissipation of the FMR/MS mode affects the entanglement greatly, and the bipartite entanglement decreases as the dissipation rate of the FMR/MS mode increases. Under the steady-state approximation, we also show that the tripartite entanglement can be generated, and the minimum residual contangle increases with the enhancement of the nonlinear gain coefficient. With the nonlinearity induced by the parametric down conversion process, the interaction between the driving field and the magnetic-cavity QED system leads to the tripartite entanglement involving the cavity photons, FMR mode and the MS mode. Likewise, we show that the tripartite entanglement also strongly depends on the dissipation rate of MS mode, and the minimum residual contangle increases as the dissipation rate of the MS mode decreases. We also show that the squeezed field induced tripartite entanglement is insensitive to the temperature and has good robustness. Our results suggest that the magnetic-cavity QED system could provide a promising platform for studying the macroscopic quantum phenomena, and the squeezing field opens a new method of generating the entanglement.

Entangled atomic ensemble and an yttrium-iron-garnet sphere in coupled microwave cavities

Dilawaiz, Shahid Qamar, Muhammad Irfan

We present a scheme to generate distant bipartite and tripartite entanglement between an atomic ensemble and an yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere in coupled microwave cavities. We consider an atomic ensemble in a single-mode microwave cavity which is coupled with a second single-mode cavity having a YIG sphere. Our system, therefore, has five excitation modes, namely, cavity-1 photons, an atomic ensemble, cavity-2 photons, a magnon and a phonon mode in the YIG sphere. We show that significant bipartite entanglement exists between indirectly coupled subsystems in the cavities which is robust against temperature. Moreover, we present suitable parameters for a significant tripartite entanglement of the ensemble, magnon, and phonon modes. We also demonstrate the existence of tripartite entanglement between the magnon and phonon modes of the YIG sphere with indirectly coupled cavity photons. Interestingly, this distant tripartite entanglement is of the same order as that previously found for a single-cavity system. We show that cavity-cavity coupling strength affects both the degree and transfer of quantum entanglement between various subsystems. Therefore, an appropriate cavity-cavity coupling optimizes the distant entanglement by increasing the entanglement strength and its robustness against temperature.

Macroscopic distant magnon-mode entanglement via a squeezed drive

Kamran Ullah, M. Tahir Naseem, Özgür Esat Müstecaplıoğlu

The generation of robust entanglement in quantum system arrays is a crucial aspect of the realization of efficient quantum information processing. Recently, the field of quantum magnonics has garnered significant attention as a promising platform for advancing in this direction. In our proposed scheme, we utilize a one-dimensional array of coupled cavities, with each cavity housing a single yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere coupled to the cavity mode through magnetic dipole interaction. To induce entanglement between YIGs, we employ a local squeezed drive, which provides the necessary nonlinearity for entanglement generation. Our results demonstrate the successful generation of bipartite and tripartite entanglement between distant magnon modes, all achieved through a single quantum drive. Furthermore, the steady-state entanglement between magnon modes is robust against magnon dissipation rates and environment temperature. Our results may lead to applications of cavity-magnon arrays in quantum information processing and quantum communication systems.

Nonreciprocal Genuine Microwave Entanglement via Magnon Kerr Nonlinearity

Zongchi Lv, Guangling Cheng, Jiansong Zhang +1 more

We present a utilization of the magnon Kerr effect to generate nonreciprocal genuine microwave entanglement in a hybrid system consisting of a yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere and three microwave cavities. Based on the quantum Langevin theory and linearization method under the condition of strong magnon driving, the system dynamics and covariance evolution are deduced and then applied to determinate the quantum correlations. It is found that three microwave cavities entangle with each other at the steady state. The basic root is that the Kerr nonlinearity can not only induce the enhanced parametric amplification of magnon but also cause the magnon frequency shift. Naturally, when the direction of the externally applied bias magnetic field is changed, switching of the magnon Kerr coefficient from positive to negative occurs and nonreciprocal tripartite entanglement among three microwave photons can be achieved. This may provide a fundamental resource for practical applications in quantum information processing and quantum networks.

Tripartite entanglement and entanglement transfer in a hybrid cavity magnomechanical system

Ming-Cui Li, Aixi Chen, Wei Zeng

Abstract We propose to realize bipartite and tripartite entanglements transfer in a cavity magnomechanical system consisting of a microwave cavity with an yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere and a silicon-nitride membrane in it. The initial magnon–YIG phonon entanglement and photon-membrane phonon entanglement caused by the magnetostrictive interaction and the optomechanical interaction can be effectively transferred to magnon–membrane phonon entanglement and photon–YIG phonon entanglement. Photon–magnon–YIG phonon and photon–magnon–membrane phonon entanglements can also be realized in the system. These two types of tripartite entanglements can be easily transferred from one type to the other by adjusting the detuning or dissipation ratio. Moreover, the bipartite and tripartite entanglements and their transfer are all robust against temperature. Furthermore, by introducing supermodes formed by the photon and magnon modes, we find that the entanglement between the two mechanical modes can be obtained under the condition of an extremely low temperature. And the effective detuning region of the YIG phonon-membrane phonon entanglement is complementary to the detuning regions of other bipartite entanglements. Our results indicate that the combination of cavity magnomechanical and optomechanical systems could provide more flexible controllability of bipartite and tripartite entanglements and their transfer and could serve as a potential quantum interface among microwave, magnon, and mechanical systems.
