Theory of magnon-polaritons in quantum Ising materials
arXiv:2209.08674 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.106.043716
Abstract
We present a theory of magnon-polaritons in quantum Ising materials, and develop a formalism describing the coupling between light and matter as an Ising system is tuned through its quantum critical point. The theory is applied to Ising materials having multilevel single-site Hamiltonians, in which multiple magnon modes are present, such as the insulating Ising magnet LiHoF . We find that the magnon-photon coupling strengths may be tuned by the applied transverse field, with the coupling between the soft mode present in the quantum Ising material and a photonic resonator mode diverging at the quantum critical point of the material. A fixed system of spins will not exhibit the diamagnetic response expected when light is coupled to mobile spins or atoms. Without the diamagnetic response, one expects a divergent magnon-photon coupling strength to lead to a superradiant quantum phase transition. However, this neglects the effects of damping and decoherence present in any real system. We show that damping and decoherence may block the superradiant quantum phase transition, and lead to weak coupling between the soft magnon mode and the resonator mode. The results of the theory are applied to experimental data on the model system LiHoF in a microwave resonator.
