Engineering Entangled Coherent States of Magnons and Phonons via a Transmon Qubit

Marios Kounalakis, Silvia Viola Kusminskiy, Yaroslav M. Blanter

We propose a scheme for generating and controlling entangled coherent states (ECS) of magnons, i.e. the quanta of the collective spin excitations in magnetic systems, or phonons in…

Analog quantum control of magnonic cat states on-a-chip by a superconducting qubit

Marios Kounalakis, Gerrit E. W. Bauer, Yaroslav M. Blanter

We propose to directly and quantum-coherently couple a superconducting transmon qubit to magnons - the quanta of the collective spin excitations, in a nearby magnetic particle. The…
