Chiral magnons for spin-qubit state transfer

We propose a protocol where chiral magnons mediate a state transfer between two distant spin qubits. The protocol is implemented by varying the coupling between the spin qubits and the magnons in time, such that an arbitrary state is transferred from one qubit to the other. The modulation of the coupling is performed such that the two-spin-qubit state is kept as a dark state of the magnon bath, bypassing the associated losses. We show that the protocol can be realized on a hybrid system composed of two nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers coupled to the nonreciprocal and chiral magnon modes of an yttrium iron garnet (YIG) stripe. We propose two methods to achieve the time modulation of the NV-magnon coupling: i) the NV-magnet distance of both NV centers is varied; ii) the external magnetic field and the NV-magnet distance of one NV center are varied. We evaluate the implementability of both methods numerically, including the constraints on the temperature, and the dephasing time and minimal lifetime of the spin qubits required for high-fidelity state transfer. We find that using realistic experimental parameters, a state transfer between NV centers at a distance of several microns can be achieved with a fidelity $\gtrsim 0.95$. Our findings expand the toolbox of magnonics for quantum information purposes.

Steady-state entanglement of spin qubits mediated by nonreciprocal and chiral magnons

We propose a hybrid quantum system in which a magnet supporting non-reciprocal magnons, chiral magnons, or both mediates the dissipative and unidirectional coupling of spin qubits. By driving the qubits, the steady state of this qubit-qubit coupling scheme becomes the maximally entangled Bell state. We devise a protocol where the system converges to this entangled state and benchmark it including qubit decay and dephasing. The protocol is numerically tested on a hybrid system consisting of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers coupled to magnon surface modes of an yttrium iron garnet (YIG) film. We show that the dephasing time of the NV centers forms the bottleneck for achieving the entanglement of NV centers separated by a distance within the magnon coherence length. Our findings identify the key technological requirements and demonstrate a viable route toward steady-state entanglement of solid-state spins over distances of several microns using magnonic quantum networks, expanding the toolbox of magnonics for quantum information purposes.

Magnon-mediated quantum gates for superconducting qubits

We propose a hybrid quantum system consisting of a magnetic particle inductively coupled to two superconducting transmon qubits, where qubit-qubit interactions are mediated via magnons. We show that the system can be tuned into three different regimes of effective qubit-qubit interactions, namely a transverse ($XX + YY$), a longitudinal ($ZZ$) and a non-trivial $ZX$ interaction. In addition, we show that an enhanced coupling can be achieved by employing an ellipsoidal magnet, carrying anisotropic magnetic fluctuations. We propose a scheme for realizing two-qubit gates, and simulate their performance under realistic experimental conditions. We find that iSWAP and CZ gates can be performed in this setup with an average fidelity $\gtrsim 99 \% $ , while an iCNOT gate can be applied with an average fidelity $\gtrsim 88 \%$. Our proposed hybrid circuit architecture offers an alternative platform for realizing two-qubit gates between superconducting qubits and could be employed for constructing qubit networks using magnons as mediators.
