Optics-microwave entanglement and state teleportation mediated by a cavity magnomechanical system

Generating usable output-entanglement in continuous variable systems can serve as a viable resource for improving applications in quantum information science. In this work, we show how to generate steady-state output-entanglement in a two-stage conversion setup between optical and microwave photon which employs resonantly coupled magnetic and mechanical excitations, as proposed in Phys. Rev. Applied 18, 044059 (2022). We show that the entanglement can be maximized for the same set of parameters which optimize the frequency-conversion efficiency, and that it can be leveraged for a teleportation-based state-transfer protocol for coherent input-states with fidelity close to unity. We propose an implementation based on an Yittrium Iron Garnet disk of micrometer scale, and use both simulation results and reasonable estimates to assess the performance under optimized conditions. We find a maximum teleportation fidelity of $0.75$ for the proposed setup.

Optimal broad-band frequency conversion via a magnomechanical transducer

Developing schemes for efficient and broad-band frequency conversion of quantum signals is an ongoing challenge in the field of modern quantum information. Especially the coherent conversion between microwave and optical signals is an important milestone towards long-distance quantum communication. In this work, we propose a two-stage conversion protocol, employing a resonant interaction between magnetic and mechanical excitations as a mediator between microwave and optical photons. Based on estimates for the coupling strengths under optimized conditions for yttrium iron garnet, we predict close to unity conversion efficiency without the requirement of matching cooperativities. We predict a conversion bandwidth in the regions of largest efficiency on the order of magnitude of the coupling strengths which can be further increased at the expense of reduced conversion efficiency.
