Cavity magnonics with easy-axis ferromagnet: Critically enhanced magnon squeezing and light-matter interaction
arXiv:2305.08119 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.108.L241404
Abstract
Generating and probing the magnon squeezing is an important challenge in the field of quantum magnonics. In this work, we propose a cavity magnonics setup with an easy-axis ferromagnet to address this challenge. To this end, we first establish a mechanism for the generation of magnon squeezing in the easy-axis ferromagnet and show that the magnon squeezing can be critically enhanced by tuning an external magnetic field near the Ising phase transition point. When the magnet is coupled to the cavity field, the effective cavity-magnon interaction becomes proportional to the magnon squeezing, allowing one to enhance the cavity-magnon coupling strength using a static field. We demonstrate that the magnon squeezing can be probed by measuring the frequency shift of the cavity field. Moreover, a magnonic superradiant phase transition can be observed in our setup by tuning the static magnetic field, overcoming the challenge that the magnetic interaction between the cavity and the magnet is typically too weak to drive the superradiant transition. Our work paves the way to develop unique capabilities of cavity magnonics that goes beyond the conventional cavity QED physics by harnessing the intrinsic property of a magnet.
