Abstract

Three-body interactions are fundamental for realizing novel quantum phenomena beyond pairwise physics, yet their implementation -- particularly among distinct quantum systems -- remains challenging. Here, we propose a hybrid quantum architecture comprising a magnonic mode (in a YIG sphere), an Andreev spin qubit (ASQ), and a superconducting qubit (SCQ), to realize a strong three-body interaction at the single-quantum level. Leveraging the spin-dependent supercurrent and circuit-integration flexibility of the ASQ, it is possible to engineer a strong tripartite coupling that jointly excites both qubits upon magnon annihilation (or excites magnons and SCQs upon ASQ deexcitation). Through analytical and numerical studies, we demonstrate that this interaction induces synchronized collapse and revival in qubit populations when the magnon is initially prepared in a coherent state. Notably, during the collapse region -- where populations remain static -- the entanglement structure undergoes a dramatic and continuous reorganization. We show that the genuine tripartite entanglement is redistributed into bipartite entanglement between the two qubits, and vice versa, with the total entanglement conserved. These phenomena, unattainable via two-body couplings, underscore the potential of three-body interactions for exploring intrinsically new quantum effects and advancing hybrid quantum information platforms.

Enhanced tripartite interaction in a magnon-Andreev-superconducting qubit hybrid system: Collapse-revival phenomena and entanglement redistribution

Sheng Zhao, Fuli Li

Tripartite interactions are fundamental for realizing quantum phenomena beyond pairwise physics, yet their native implementation—particularly among distinct quantum systems—remains challenging. Here, we propose a hybrid quantum architecture comprising a magnonic mode [in a yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere], an Andreev spin qubit, and a superconducting qubit, to realize a native and strong interaction rather than relying on synthesis from two-body processes, leveraging the coupling between the spin-dependent supercurrent and the magnetic field of YIG sphere. Through analytical and numerical studies, we demonstrate that this interaction induces synchronized collapse and revival in qubit populations when the magnon is initially prepared in a coherent state. Notably, during the collapse region—where populations remain static—the entanglement structure undergoes a dramatic and continuous reorganization. We show that the genuine tripartite entanglement is redistributed into bipartite entanglement between the two qubits, and vice versa, with the total entanglement conserved. These phenomena, unattainable via bipartite couplings, underscore the potential of tripartite interactions for exploring intrinsically new quantum effects and advancing hybrid quantum information platforms.

Nonlinear tripartite coupling of trapped electrons with magnons in a hybrid quantum system

Xue‐Feng Pan, P. Li

Coherent nonlinear tripartite interactions are critical for quantum simulation and information processing in hybrid quantum systems, yet remain experimentally challenging and still evade comprehensive exploration. Here, we predict a nonlinear tripartite coupling mechanism in a hybrid setup comprising a single trapped electron and a nearby micromagnet. The tripartite coupling here leverages the electron’s motional and spin degrees of freedom interacting with the magnon modes of the micromagnet. Thanks to the large spatial extent of the electron zero-point motion, a tunable and strong spin-magnon-motion coupling can be obtained, with two phonons simultaneously interacting with a single spin and magnon excitation. This enables magnons to mediate coupling among distinct degrees of freedom of two electrons, allowing rapid preparation of few-body entangled states. This protocol is compatible with well-developed techniques in electron traps and quantum magnonics, and may open avenues for quantum simulations and hybrid quantum information processing by introducing a versatile platform for exploring multipartite interactions and nonclassical state generation. Coherent many-body interactions bring the quantum nature that is key to exploring quantum applications with multipartite entanglement. This work studies a nonlinear tripartite coupling mechanism in a hybrid quantum system, which provides an experimentally promising and reliable platform for manipulating few-body entangled quantum states.

Genuine Tripartite Strong Coupling in a Superconducting-Spin Hybrid Quantum System

Yingqiu Mao, Han-Yu Ren, Zi-Yi Liu +12 more

We demonstrate genuine tripartite strong coupling in a solid-state hybrid quantum system comprising a superconducting transmon qubit, a fixed-frequency coplanar-waveguide resonator, and an ensemble of NV$^-$ centers in diamond. Frequency-domain spectroscopy reveals a characteristic three-mode avoided crossing, indicating that single excitations are coherently shared across all three subsystems. At higher probe powers, we observe nonlinear features including multiphoton transitions and signatures of transmon-${}^{14}\mathrm{N}$ nuclear-spin interactions, highlighting the accessibility of higher-excitation manifolds in this architecture. These results establish a new regime of hybrid cavity QED that integrates superconducting and spin degrees of freedom, providing a platform for exploring complex multicomponent dynamics and developing hybrid quantum interfaces.

Blueprint for All-to-All-Connected Superconducting Spin Qubits

Marta Pita‐Vidal, Jaap J. Wesdorp, Christian Kraglund Andersen

Andreev (or superconducting) spin qubits (ASQs) have recently emerged as a promising qubit platform that combines superconducting circuits with semiconductor spin degrees of freedom. While recent experiments have successfully coupled two ASQs, how to realize a scalable architecture for extending this coupling to multiple distant qubits remains an open question. In this work, we resolve this challenge by introducing an architecture that achieves all-to-all connectivity between multiple remote ASQs. Our approach enables selective connectivity between any qubit pair while keeping all other qubit pairs uncoupled. Furthermore, we demonstrate the feasibility of efficient readout using circuit quantum electrodynamics techniques and compare different readout configurations. Our architecture shows promise both for gate-based quantum computing and for analog quantum simulation applications by offering higher qubit connectivity than alternative solid-state platforms.

Distant Entanglement Generation between Magnon and Superconducting Qubits in Magnon-Mediated Hybrid Systems

Guosen Liu, Pei Pei

We propose an efficient two-stage protocol for generating distant entanglement in a magnon-mediated hybrid quantum system, where magnons serve dual roles as both interaction mediators and qubits. This integrated design reduces the physical component count while leveraging the inherent advantages of magnons, such as their strong coupling via magnetic dipole interactions, low dissipation, and high integrability. In our setup, a superconducting resonator interfaces between a local superconducting qubit (SQ) and a local magnonic system (QM1), which is waveguide-coupled to a remote magnonic system (QM2). The protocol comprises two stages: (i) deterministic Bell-state generation between the SQ and QM1 using shortcuts to adiabaticity, and (ii) coherent state transfer to QM2 via engineered Hamiltonian dynamics. This adiabatic characteristic enhances robustness against environmental dissipation. Numerical simulations under realistic noise conditions confirm strong resilience to decoherence, achieving fidelity $F > 0.90$ and negativity $\mathcal{N}_2 > 0.40$. These results establish the protocol as a scalable and practical building block for distributed quantum networks.

Exponentially Enhanced Tripartite Coupling in Quantum Nonlinear Magnonics

Chen, Xue-Chun, Zijie Wang, Zheng, Sheng-Bo +2 more

Strong and controllable tripartite interactions play a pivotal role in quantum information and nonlinear quantum optics, yet challenging to realize. In this work, we propose a hybrid system consisting of a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center coupled to Kerr magnons (magnons with Kerr nonlinearity) in two yttrium-iron-garnet spheres. By adiabatically eliminating the ground state of the NV qutrit in the dispersive regime, an effective tripartite interaction among magnons and an NV qubit encoded in its excited states is obtained. In the strong driving limit, Kerr magnons can be linearized and give rise to degenerate parametric amplification for squeezing magnons. As a result, both the tripartite interaction and cooperativity are exponentially enhanced twice, which is about $\exp(ξ)$ times than schemes only involving single-squeezing. Hence, our proposal is more experimentally feasible because modest squeezing parameter is sufficient. With this amplified tripartite coupling strength, the system dynamics are greatly accelerated, leading to fast generation of tripartite entanglement. In addition, noise-resilient perfect magnon blockade can be achieved, well predicted by both the analytical approach and numerical simulation with quantum master equation. Our results suggest that the NV center represents a promising interface for engineering many-body interactions in quantum magnonics, offering a versatile platform for exploring fundamental quantum phenomena such as entanglement and correlations.
