Quantum Noise Suppression Beyond the Standard Quantum Limit in a Hybrid Magnonic Optomechanical System
Alolika Roy, Amarendra K. Sarma
We theoretically study how quantum measurement noise can be engineered in a hybrid cavitymagnomechanical platform for precision force sensing. The proposed configuration consists of a driven optomechanical cavity, with a movable mirror on one side plus a fixed semi-transparent mirror on the other side, coupled to a magnon mode, with an OPA placed inside the cavity. We show that the magnon mediated dynamics reshapes the added-noise spectrum leading to improved sensitivity compared to a conventional optomechanical sensor. In particular, by satisfying the coherent quantum noise cancellation (CQNC) criterion, radiation-pressure back-action can be fully suppressed. In addition, a larger OPA pump gain permits operation beyond the standard quantum limit at substantially reduced laser power, thereby mitigating power-related constraints without sacrificing performance. These combined advantages provide a practical pathway to below-SQL weak force detection and can outperform existing approaches based on squeezing in magnomechanics.
