Realizing on-demand all-to-all selective interactions between distant spin ensembles

Achieving all-to-all coherent networks is critical for the advancement of large-scale coherent computing and communication protocols. By exploiting the resonant dipole-dipole interaction between distant spin ensembles coupled to a one-dimensional coplanar waveguide (CPW) terminated by a mirror, we successfully demonstrate an on-demand all-to-all selective coherent network between four spin ensembles. Furthermore, by repositioning the spin ensembles along the CPW, we achieve collective coupling, and demonstrate coherent energy exchange between multiple spin ensembles in the time domain. These results strongly indicate the potential of this device as a medium-scale all-to-all network structure, which is poised to advance the exploration of many-body physics and enhance coherent information processing capabilities.

Microwave interference from a spin ensemble and its mirror image in waveguide magnonics

We investigate microwave interference from a spin ensemble and its mirror image in a one-dimensional waveguide. Away from the mirror, the resonance frequencies of the Kittel mode (KM) inside a ferrimagnetic spin ensemble have sinusoidal shifts as the normalized distance between the spin ensemble and the mirror increases compared to the setup without the mirror. These shifts are a consequence of the KM's interaction with its own image. Furthermore, the variation of the magnon radiative decay into the waveguide shows a cosine squared oscillation and is enhanced twofold when the KM sits at the magnetic antinode of the corresponding eigenmode. We can finely tune the KM to achieve the maximum adsorption of the input photons at the critical coupling point. Moreover, by placing the KM in proximity to the node of the resonance field, its lifetime is extended to more than eight times compared to its positioning near the antinode.

Group delay controlled by the decoherence of a single artificial atom

The ability to slow down light at the single-photon level has applications in quantum information processing and other quantum technologies. We demonstrate two methods, both using just a single artificial atom, enabling dynamic control over microwave light velocities in waveguide quantum electrodynamics (waveguide QED). Our methods are based on two distinct mechanisms harnessing the balance between radiative and non-radiative decay rates of a superconducting artificial atom in front of a mirror. In the first method, we tune the radiative decay of the atom using interference effects due to the mirror; in the second method, we pump the atom to control its non-radiative decay through the Autler--Townes effect. When the half the radiative decay rate exceeds the non-radiative decay rate, we observe positive group delay; conversely, dominance of the non-radiative decay rate results in negative group delay. Our results advance signal-processing capabilities in waveguide QED.
