Abstract

We propose a scheme for generating and controlling remote nonreciprocal magnon--magnon entanglement in a cavity magnonic system with coherent feedback.The two microwave cavities are driven by independent single-mode squeezed vacuum fields, with a rotating YIG sphere in the left cavity and a stationary one in the right cavity. For a fixed rotation direction, reversing the bias magnetic field applied to the rotating sphere changes the sign of the Barnett shift, leading to nonreciprocal magnon--magnon entanglement. By tuning the cavity detuning and feedback phase, entanglement can be generated for one direction of the bias magnetic field while it vanishes for the opposite direction, yielding complete nonreciprocity. Coherent feedback enhances the entanglement at an appropriate reflectivity, whereas stronger feedback can reduce it. The relative squeezing phase provides additional control, and an appropriate choice of unequal squeezing factors improves the entanglement at fixed total input photon occupation. With the squeezed inputs kept fixed, moderate feedback also increases the critical temperature for magnon entanglement.Our results provide a controllable approach to preparing remote nonreciprocal quantum correlations in cavity magnonic systems.

Nonreciprocal bipartite and tripartite entanglement in cavity-magnon optomechanics via the Barnett effect

Ping-Chi Ge, Yikyung Yu, Hao Wu +3 more

We theoretically propose a scheme for generating nonreciprocal macroscopic bipartite and tripartite entanglement using the Barnett effect in cavity-magnon optomechanics. The system consists of an optomechanical cavity and a rotatable yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere. Our results indicate that under appropriate parameter conditions, both bipartite entanglement and genuine tripartite entanglement can be generated between the cavity mode, mechanical mode, and magnon mode. Moreover, when the YIG sphere rotates, adjusting the magnetic field direction can induce a positive or negative Barnett shift, which leads to the nonreciprocity of entanglement, where entanglement exists in one chosen magnetic field direction and disappears in the other. Meanwhile, the macroscopic tripartite entanglement in the system is robust against thermal noise. Our work provides a possible avenue for quantum information processing, quantum chiral device integration, and multi-node quantum networks construction.

Nonreciprocal quantum coherence in a cavity magnomechanical system via the Barnett effect

Jinhao Jia, Yingru Li, Juan Huang +1 more

We theoretically investigate the quantum coherence ans its nonreciprocity in a cavity magnomechanical (CMM) syetem, which consists of a rotating yittrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere and a microwave cavity. By adjusting the direction of the magnetic field, the frequency shift of a magnon mode can be tuned from positive to negative due to the Barnett effect. This effect leads to a significant difference in the system stability and is responsible for the nonreciprocal quantum coherence. We examine how the input power, magnomechanical and magnon-photon coupling rates, decay rates of both the cavity photon modes and the magnon modes influence the quantum coherence. Through careful tuning of system parameters, nearly perfect nonreciprocity can be achieved. Our results provide a controllable mechanism for direction-dependent quantum coherence, with potential applications in nonreciprocal quantum devices and information processing.

Nonreciprocal optical-microwave entanglement induced by Barnett effect

MingCui Li, AiXi Chen

We propose a scheme for realizing nonreciprocal bipartite and tripartite entanglement in a hybrid cavity optomagnonic system. The system consists of a tunable Fabry-Perot (FP) cavity and a microwave cavity, an yttrium iron garnet slab (YIG1) and a rotating yttrium iron garnet sphere (YIG2). The magnon modes in both YIG1 and YIG2 are strongly coupled to the microwave cavity mode, and the magnon mode in YIG1 also has a three-mode resonant interaction with the optical modes in the FP cavity. The Barnett effect causes a frequency shift of the magnon mode in YIG2. By reversing the external bias magnetic field of YIG2 to control the sign of the Barnett frequency shift, one can not only switch the entanglement partner of the optical mode between the magnon and microwave modes, but also achieve perfect on-off control of bipartite optical-microwave entanglement and tripartite optical-magnon-microwave entanglement. The study presents a flexible control scheme to realize nonreciprocal bipartite and tripartite entanglement in quantum nodes that integrate diverse physical systems such as optics, magnons, and microwaves, and may have potential applications in entanglement-based quantum networks.

Nonreciprocal entanglement in cavity magnomechanics via the Barnett effect

Tian-Xiang Lu, Zi-Shan Li, Liu-Sha Chen +3 more

We theoretically propose a scheme for achieving nonreciprocal bipartite and tripartite entanglement among magnons, photons, and phonons utilizing the Barnett effect in a cavity magnomechanical (CMM) system where a rotating yttrium iron garnet sphere is placed in a microwave cavity. The Barnett effect induces a Barnett frequency shift that can be effectively controlled to be either positive or negative by adjusting the direction of the magnetic field. As a result, nonreciprocal bipartite and tripartite entanglement can be achieved, exhibiting robustness against the bath temperature. Our work provides a very accessible way to manipulate photon-magnon-phonon quantum resources based on CMM devices with the Barnett effect.

Barnett effect boosted nonreciprocal entanglement and EPR-steering in magnomechanics in the presence of coherent feedback loop

Noura Chabar, Mohamed Amazioug

We propose an experimental scheme for enhancing entanglement, achieving asymmetric Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering, and creating nonreciprocal quantum correlations within a hybrid system. This system integrates a yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere, which exhibits magnon-phonon coupling via magnetostriction, with a silica sphere featuring optomechanical whispering-gallery modes. By tuning the Barnett effect through the magnetic field direction, our system enables controllable asymmetric EPR steering and nonreciprocal entanglement between both directly and indirectly coupled modes. We demonstrate that adjusting the reflectivity of a beam splitter can boost stationary quantum steering and entanglement, effectively countering thermal noise. This approach allows for the generation of multipartite entanglement and both one-way and two-way steering. The proposed system is experimentally feasible and holds significant promise for various quantum information applications.

Nonreciprocal Photon–Phonon Entanglement in Cavity Magnomechanics via the Barnett Effect and the Sagnac Effect

Hao‐Wei Zhang, Jiaojiao Chen, Dong Wang +1 more

ABSTRACT We propose a scheme for realizing nonreciprocal photon–phonon entanglement in a hybrid cavity magnomechanical system, where the Barnett effect and the Sagnac effect are used. By changing the rotation direction of the cavity field and the direction of the bias magnetic field or the direction of rotation of the YIG sphere, we can induce an opposite Sagnac–Fizeau frequency shift on the cavity and a Barnett frequency shift of the magnon mode, which lead to nonreciprocity. Our results indicate that through selecting appropriate parameters, such as frequency detuning or magnomechanical coupling strength or bath temperature, the nonreciprocity of photon–phonon entanglements in this system can be correspondingly manipulated (such as switched off or on). And through combining the Barnett effect with the Sagnac effect, the entanglement nonreciprocity can be significantly enhanced. We find that nonreciprocal entanglement exhibits excellent tolerance to elevated bath temperature. Our paper provides a promising approach for engineering various nonreciprocal devices with the Barnett and the Sagnac effects.
