Quantum Magnonics: Quantum States Generation and Applications
Abstract
Hybrid systems based on magnons in ferromagnetic materials, such as yttrium iron garnet, have achieved remarkable development in the last decade. These include the coupling of magnons to microwave and optical photons, superconducting qubits, phonons, spins, the center-of-mass motion of a ferromagnet, etc. Here, we review both the experimental and theoretical progress in this field, focusing on the generation of magnonic quantum states and their applications in a broad range of fields. Since the strong coupling is a prerequisite for achieving coherent quantum control of magnons and preparing magnonic quantum states, we start by introducing representative strong-coupling experiments in cavity magnonics, then review a series of protocols for creating various magnonic quantum states, such as Fock, cat, squeezed, and entangled states, and discuss their potential applications in macroscopic quantum studies, quantum information science, quantum sensing, magnonic quantum devices, dark matter detection, and so on. Finally, we summarize the review and give an outlook for the future study of quantum magnonics.
