Robust Nonclassical magnon pair generation and Cauchy-Schwarz inequality violation in a hybrid electromagnonic system

Magnonic systems are a promising resource for quantum technologies because of their ability to couple significantly disparate quantum platforms and the generation of nonclassical magnon states through magnon blockade has attracted growing attention. In practice, however magnon blockade relies on a destructive interference that is easily spoiled by fabrication-induced coupling asymmetries. Here we show that the relative phase between two magnon drives acts as an active compensation knob that restores this interference even when the couplings are mismatched. We study two Kittel magnon modes in a hybrid system in which a superconducting qubit coupled to a common cavity mode mediates the inter-mode interaction and we find that tuning the drive phase produces both magnon blockade and a strong violation of the classical Cauchy--Schwarz inequality. We derive the analytic condition for the phase that compensates a given coupling asymmetry and confirm it against exact numerical simulations. The drive phase thereby serves as a control knob that switches the system between classical and quantum regimes. Our results enable phase-controlled magnonic quantum information processing.

Atom assisted cavity cooling of a micromechanical oscillator in the unresolved sideband regime

The ground state cooling of a mechanical oscillator in an optomechanical cavity containing an ensemble of identical two-level ground-state atoms is studied in the highly unresolved-sideband regime. The system exhibits electromagnetically-induced transparency-like quantum interference effect. The mutual interaction with the cavity optical field gives rise to an indirect coupling between the atomic and mechanical modes. In presence of this interaction, the noise spectrum gets modified and leads to asymmetric cooling and heating rates. Using the quantum master equation, time evolution of the average phonon number is studied and it is observed that the average phonon occupancy in the mechanical resonator exhibits ground-state cooling.
