Tunable Entangling and Steering of Ferrimagnetic Magnons via an OptoMagnoMechanical Ring

Abstract

Recently, magnomechanical systems have emerged as promising platforms for quantum technologies, exploiting magnon-photon-phonon interactions to store high-fidelity quantum information. In this paper, we propose a scheme to entangle two spatially separated ferrimagnetic YIG crystals by injecting a microwave field into an optomagnonic ring cavity. The proposed optomagnomechanical configuration utilizes the coupling between magnetostriction-induced mechanical displacements and the optical cavity via radiation pressure. Magnons - collective spin excitations in macroscopic ferromagnets - are directly driven by an electromagnetic field. We demonstrate the generation of macroscopic magnon entanglement by exciting the optical cavity with a red detuned microwave field and the YIG crystals with a blue detuned field. Our analysis reveals that magnon entanglement vanishes for identical magnomechanical couplings but remains robust against thermal fluctuations. The magnon modes entangled in two ferrimagnetic crystals represent genuine macroscopic quantum states with potential applications in the study of macroscopic quantum mechanics and quantum information processing based on magnonics. The configuration is based on experimentally accessible parameters, providing a feasible route of quantum technologies.
