Microwave-to-optical transduction using magnon-exciton coupling in a layered antiferromagnet

Pratap Chandra Adak, Iris McDaniel, Suvodeep Paul +12 more

Coherent interfaces between microwave-frequency quantum systems and low-loss optical links are essential for quantum networks. However, existing microwave-optical transducers often trade conversion efficiency against added noise, bandwidth, and device integrability. Here, we demonstrate coherent microwave-to-optical transduction based on magnon-exciton coupling in the layered antiferromagnet CrSBr. Driving the antiferromagnetic resonance with microwave signals imprints coherent modulation on a reflected optical probe, generating optical sidebands that are resonantly enhanced near excitonic transitions. While prior magnon-based approaches to microwave-to-optical transduction have typically relied on intrinsically weak off-resonant magneto-optical effects (e.g., Faraday rotation), our scheme exploits strong light-matter interactions at exciton resonances. Even in a bulk crystal without cavity enhancement, we observe coherent conversion over an intrinsically broadband window of ~ 300 MHz. We further show that multiple exciton-polariton resonances inherit the magnon-coupled response, suggesting a route to broaden the usable optical detuning range and to mitigate optical dissipation. Our results establish magnon-coupled excitons in layered magnets as a scalable platform for broadband microwave-optical interfaces, with pathways to higher cooperativity via reduced magnetic volume and cavity integration.

Fiber-integrated microwave-to-optical quantum transducer

Wenfang Li, Jinjin Du, Christopher M. Wilson +1 more

We propose an on-chip fiber-based quantum transducer to convert microwave photons into optical-telecommunication-band photons. The device consists of a coplanar-waveguide microwave resonator and a pair of coupled optical cavities integrated into a rare-earth-doped fiber. The microwave resonator is formed by two aluminum strips deposited onto the cladding of the fiber, whose diameter has been etched down to approximately $8\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}\text{\ensuremath{\mu}}\mathrm{m}$. We study the conversion process using the cavity electro-optic formalism for a system operating at liquid-helium temperature (around 4 K), as well as using a three-wave mixing approach for operation at millikelvin temperatures achievable in a dilution refrigerator. Both methods predict that unity conversion efficiency could be achievable with realistically achievable experimental parameters. The proposed device acts as a quantum transducer for coherent microwave-to-optical conversion, which has great promise for application in all-fiber integrated quantum devices for quantum information processing.

Coherent coupling between ferromagnetic magnon and superconducting qubit

Yutaka Tabuchi, Seiichiro Ishino, Atsushi Noguchi +4 more

Rigidity of an ordered phase in condensed matter results in collective excitation modes spatially extending in macroscopic dimensions. Magnon is a quantum of an elementary excitation in the ordered spin system, such as ferromagnet. Being low dissipative, dynamics of magnons in ferromagnetic insulators has been extensively studied and widely applied for decades in the contexts of ferromagnetic resonance, and more recently of Bose-Einstein condensation as well as spintronics. Moreover, towards hybrid systems for quantum memories and transducers, coupling of magnons and microwave photons in a resonator have been investigated. However, quantum-state manipulation at the single-magnon level has remained elusive because of the lack of anharmonic element in the system. Here we demonstrate coherent coupling between a magnon excitation in a millimetre-sized ferromagnetic sphere and a superconducting qubit, where the interaction is mediated by the virtual photon excitation in a microwave cavity. We obtain the coupling strength far exceeding the damping rates, thus bringing the hybrid system into the strong coupling regime. Furthermore, we find a tunable magnon-qubit coupling scheme utilising a parametric drive with a microwave. Our approach provides a versatile tool for quantum control and measurement of the magnon excitations and thus opens a new discipline of quantum magnonics.
