Abstract

We investigate the enhancement of entanglement and EPR steering in a parity-time(PT-) symmetric-like cavity-opto-magnomechanical system. The system consists of an optical cavity, a magnon mode in a ferromagnetic crystal, a phonon mode, and a microwave cavity. Our findings demonstrate that microwave-cavity gain significantly boosts distant quantum entanglement and greatly improves the robustness of bipartite entanglement against environment temperature. Additionally, we observe an enhancement of tripartite entanglement within the system and uncover the phenomenon of entanglement transfer. Notably, we also achieve one-way steering and two-way asymmetric steering in the system. This study offers insights into the integration of traditional optomechanics and cavity magnomechanics, presenting a novel approach to manipulate asymmetric quantum steering between two distant macroscopic objects. The implications of our research extend to the fields of quantum state preparation and quantum information.

Perfect transfer of enhanced entanglement and asymmetric steering in a cavity-magnomechanical system

We propose a hybrid cavity magnomechanical system to realize and transfer the bipartite entanglements and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steerings between magnons, photons, and phonons in the regime of stability of the system. As a parity-time-symmetric-like structure exhibiting the natural magnetostrictive magnon-phonon interaction, our passive-active cavity system can be explored to enhance the robust distant quantum entanglement and generate the relatively obvious asymmetric (even directional) EPR steering that is useful for the task with the highly asymmetric trusts of the bidirectional local measurements between two entangled states. It is of great interest that, based on such a tunable magnomechanical system, the perfect transfer between near and distant entanglements and steerings of different mode pairs is realized by adjusting the coupling parameters; in particular, we propose a perfect transfer scheme of steerings. These transferring processes suggest indeed an alternative method for quantum information storage and manipulation. In addition, the entanglements and steerings can also be exchanged between different mode pairs by adjusting the detunings between different modes. This work may provide a potential platform for distant and asymmetric quantum modulation.

Enhanced entanglement and quantum steering of directly and indirectly coupled modes in a magnomechanical system

Amjad Sohail, Rizwan Ahmed, Rida Zainab +1 more

Abstract This study is based on a theoretical proposal for quantum steering, non-locality, and entanglement in a two microwave cavities based magnomechanical system. The system is composed of two microwave (MW) cavity mode photons, phonons associated with mechanical mode and a magnon mode. We have employed a standard damping approach and found that steerability and entanglements among different bipartite subsystems strongly depend upon the detuning of indirectly coupled cavity mode and effective magnon detuning. One/two-way quantum Steering and non-local correlation have been found in the system for different choices of bipartitions. In addition, entanglement generated in the system enhances and has shown to be more robust against the thermal effects, as compared with the earlier studies. Interestingly, we have shown that the magnomechanical entanglements among different bipartitions have a complementary relation due to the transfer entanglement. This shows an additional insight into the system dynamics which shows that there exists a ‘tie-up’ relationship among these bipartitions. The present magnomechanical system will open new perspectives in quantum tasks that demand the entanglement of microwave cavity fields.

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.

Preparation of Distant Quantum Entanglement and One‐way Quantum Steering in Hybrid Cavity‐Magnonics‐and‐Cavity‐Optomechanical Systems

Qin‐Min Wan, Yue‐Han Lin, Ya‐Qin Lin +3 more

Abstract A hybrid system that combines cavity magnonics and cavity optomechanics is proposed to facilitate the generation of long‐distance entanglement and enable one‐way steering between magnons and phonons. This configuration involves two directly coupled cavities, with one interacting with magnons and the other coupling with a mechanical oscillator (i.e., phonons). By driving the microwave cavity with a weak squeezed vacuum field generated by a flux‐driven Josephson parametric amplifier, entanglement and one‐way steering can be further enhanced. Moreover, the results demonstrate that magnon–phonon entanglement and one‐way quantum steering exhibit robustness against temperature variations, which has significant implications for quantum information processing and storage.

Dynamical quantum steering in a pulsed hybrid opto-electro-mechanical system

We have investigated the dynamical entanglement and quantum steering in a pulsed hybrid opto-electro-mechanical system. Using the symmetric and asymmetric criteria, the possibilities of bipartite entanglement, one-way steering, two-way steering, and collective tripartite steering have been studied between different output modes. In addition, the influence of the squeezing parameter on the amount of tripartite steering measurement is also examined. The results show that a higher electro-mechanical coupling rate leads to stronger tripartite steering. The microwave cavity mode can enhance the output quantum steering and remotely steers the optical cavity. Thus, the slower mode can steer the faster mode. Such hybrid systems can serve as frequency converters between microwave and optical domains and can have a profound impact on building quantum networks of microwave-operated superconducting quantum computers.

Distant bipartite entanglement generation in a hybrid opto-magnomechanical system

Mulugeta Tadesse, Tesfay Gebremariam Tesfahannes, Tewodros Yirgashewa Darge +2 more

In this work, we present a hybrid cavity opto-magnomechanical system to generate distant bipartite entanglement between different quantum carriers. Accordingly, the system consists of two cavity photons, a phonon of yttrium iron garnet (YIG), a magnon, and a phonon of membrane. Specifically, the two cavities are coupled through an optical fiber, and one of the optical cavities consists of a membrane coupled with the cavity photon through radiation pressure force. While the other cavity contains a YIG, the magnon mode connects to the cavity photon via magnetic dipole interaction and, simultaneously, couples to the mechanical resonator of the YIG through magnetostrictive interaction. We show that entanglement generation can be realized under indirectly coupled bipartitions for parameters and detunings within appropriate regimes. Furthermore, for various bipartitions, we also obtain appropriate cavity and magnon detuning values for a considerable remote entanglement. Moreover, the generation of distant bipartite entanglements and entanglement transfer between subsystems is predominantly influenced by the coupling strength. Remarkably, the distant bipartite entanglement is strongly contrary to the environmental temperature. Thus, optimizing the system’s parameters allows for the maximum possible entanglement between various quantum carriers. We believe our results could provide more stable bipartite entanglements and serve as a potential quantum interface to realize particularly long-range entanglement transfers.
