Abstract

Abstract We show how robust magnon-magnon (or photon-magnon) entanglement and asymmetric quantum steering can be achieved in a nonlinear cavity-magnon system composed of a microwave cavity and two yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) spheres, which are each driven by external microwave driving fields. The self-Kerr nonlinearity (SKN) of two magnons drives this behaviour and we study how two-fold periodically-modulated driving fields influence the system dynamics. We find that beating occurs both in the classical average of the cavity mode and in the entanglement between modes. Moreover, the use of modulated driving fields can enhance the degree of entanglement generated as well as giving rise to asymmetric quantum steering effects that would not otherwise be present. Finally, we show that the entanglement generated this way has improved robustness to thermal noise opening the way to potential applications of magnon-based hybrid systems in quantum information processing and studies of fundamental physics.

Kerr nonlinearity-induced nonreciprocal Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen steering in a cavity magnonic system

Shuqi Hu, Jiajun Liu, Guangling Cheng +3 more

Abstract We propose to utilize magnon Kerr nonlinearity to generate and control microwave–microwave Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) steering in a cavity magnonic system consisting of two microwave cavities and an yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere, where the magnon mode in the YIG sphere is driven by an electromagnetic field. The results show that Kerr nonlinearity of the magnon could not only sensibly induce enhanced entanglement of two microwave fields but also produce asymmetric EPR steering with different ratios of two damping rates and coupling constants. Moreover, it is found that the nonreciprocity of the steady-state EPR steering is obtainable by controlling the sign of the magnon Kerr parameter, which could be tuned from positive to negative by changing the direction of the static magnetic field. The demonstrated nonreciprocal EPR steering is of fundamental interest for the manipulation of quantum states, and may provide potential applications in quantum information tasks.

Controllable Quantum Entanglement and One‐Way Steering in a Dual‐Cavity‐Magnon System

Chun‐Yu Zuo, Rui‐Hao Qian, Wenbin Wu +2 more

Abstract The quantum entanglement and the one‐way quantum steering in cavity magnonic system composed of a yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere and two microwave cavities, one of which is driven by a two‐photon drive field, are studied. Bipartite entanglement, tripartite entanglement, and steering can be achieved under the four‐wave mixing process. It is shown that the degree of entanglement and the direction of one‐way steering can be manipulated not only by designing the dissipation ratio between the two cavity modes but also by regulating the coherent coupling strength ratio between the two cavity modes and the magnon mode. It is found that the direction of steering is associated with the populations of the two cavity modes, meaning that the mode with a greater population always dominates the steering direction. Especially, the transfer between cavity–magnon entanglement and cavity–cavity entanglement can be realized by adjusting the coupling strengths. The findings provide a practical method for coherently manipulating entanglement and one‐way steering in cavity–magnon system.

Perfect Transfer of Entanglement and One-Way Quantum Steering via Parametric Frequency Converter in a Two-mode Cavity Magnomechanical System

Amjad Sohail, Nawaz, Allah, Hazrat Ali +2 more

We study the effects of a parametric frequency converter in a two-mode cavity system where one of the cavity mode is coupled with yttrium iron garnet (YIG) via magnetic dipole interaction. Parametric frequency converter acts as a nonlinear source for enhanced entanglement among all bipartitions and asymmetrical quantum steering. The behavior of the two types of quantum correlations are shown to be dependent on parametric coupling and the associated phase factor. We show that cavity-cavity entanglement and cavity-phonon entanglement (cavity-magnon entanglement) decreases (increases) with the increase of the parametric phase factor ϕ. In addition, generated entanglements in the present system have shown to be more robust against the thermal effects, with the inclusion of the parametric converter as compared with the bare cavity case. Another intriguing finding is the asymmetric one-way steering, where we notice that magnon and phonon modes can steer the indirectly coupled cavity modes, yet the steering in swapped direction is not observed. It is of great interest that the perfect transfer of entanglement and quantum steering is achieved among different modes by adjusting the system's parameters. In fact, our protocol for these transferring processes suggests a different approach to the processing and storage of quantum information.

Quantum feedback induced genuine magnon–photon–magnon entanglement and steering in a cavity magnonical system

Qianjun Zheng, Wenxue Zhong, Guangling Cheng +1 more

We present an alternative scheme to generate genuine tripartite entanglement and steering among one photon and two magnons in a cavity magnonical system, where two yttrium iron garnet spheres are respectively placed inside two microwave cavities driven by a two-mode squeezed field and subjected to homodyne-measurement feedback. It is found that quantum feedback on two cavities plays a crucial role in enhancing quantum correlations of photons and magnons. In the absence of measurement feedback, only bipartite entanglement between two magnons is existent. In contrast, when the continuous measurement feedback is present, two magnons are strongly entangled and magnon–photon entanglement also appears. More importantly, the stable genuine magnon–photon–magnon tripartite entanglement and steering could be obtained based on the homodyne-measurement feedback on two microwave cavities, which are robust against the thermal fluctuations. The work we present provides a feasible way to manipulate the multipartite quantum correlations including entanglement and steering in hybrid quantum systems.

Enhancement of Steady Quantum Entanglement and Directional Controllability of Quantum Steering in Cavity Magnetic Hybrid Systems

Xin‐Yi Yin, Zhi‐Bo Yang, Yumei Huang +3 more

Abstract Quantum entanglement (QE) and quantum steering (QS) are of importance for quantum information processing and computation. Though there are several schemes proposed for their realization, how to increase their degrees encounters a great challenge. In the present manuscript, it is proposed to enhance steady QE and control Gaussian QS for two magnons using a two‐photon field acting on either magnon. The cavity‐magnetic hybrid system consists of a microwave cavity in which two identical Yttrium‐iron‐garnet spheres are placed and the cavity is driven by a Josephson parametric amplifier (JPA) so as to generate steady QE and control Gaussian QS for the two Kittel modes. Besides, a two‐photon driving field acting on either magnon in order to enhance the degree of QE and the ability of QS. The best condition to maximum entanglement and steering degrees for the two magnon modes at MHz and is found via the competitive relationship between the two‐photon driving and JPA. Furthermore, it is revealed that steering direction for the two magnons can be controlled not only by the ratio between the two photon‐magnon coupling parameters but also by the two‐photon driving field, making controllable steering direction become easier.

Quantum Correlation Enhanced with Quantum Coherent Feedback Control in a Cavity‐magnon Hybrid System

Yue‐Han Lin, Ya‐Qin Lin, Zhi‐Ying Lin +2 more

Abstract A scheme is proposed to enhance quantum correlation, including entanglement and steering, for two magnon modes in a cavity‐magnon hybrid system through coherent quantum feedback. The hybrid system consists of a microwave cavity and two YIG spheres, which incorporates a nonlinear flux‐driven Josephson parametric amplifier in order for the generation of two photons within the cavity simultaneously. A quantum coherent feedback loop is used for the reduction of effective dissipation. By modulating feedback parameters, optimal bipartite and tripartite entanglement, as well as quantum steering are derived. Importantly, compared with the same setup without coherent feedback, the proposed scheme significantly improves quantum correlation. Furthermore, by optimizing the feedback reflectivity and the ratio of cavity‐magnon coupling strength, the enhancement of asymmetric steering can be controlled. Notably, incorporating the feedback loop effectively increase its robustness against thermal noise, thus the scheme offer better prospect for experimental development. This study paves the way for advancements in quantum information processing and quantum entanglement within cavity‐magnonics.
