Enhancement of spin-wave nonreciprocity and group velocity in a low-wavenumber regime

Nonreciprocity of spin waves is essential for components such as magnetic isolators and circulators used in spin-wave-based computing. A ferromagnetic (FM) bilayer exhibits significant frequency nonreciprocity and has attracted attention in recent years. Prior research on bilayers has predominantly focused on the high-wavenumber regime, where spin waves display significant nonreciprocity and are accessible through Brillouin light scattering (BLS). However, the dynamics at low wavenumbers (k < 5 rad/um), which enable rapid magnon propagation, have yet to be thoroughly investigated. We investigate spin-wave propagation in the bilayer using coplanar waveguides (CPWs) and demonstrate that increasing the bilayer thickness enhances nonreciprocity even at low wavenumbers, which leads to the high group velocity originating from the Damon-Eshbach (DE) mode. These findings establish design principles for high-speed, low-loss spin-wave-based information processing.

On-chip Dicke-type magnon polaritons in the ultrastrong coupling regime via spatially separated nanomagnets

Quantum electrodynamics lies at the heart of hybrid quantum systems essential for future technologies. The thermodynamic limit of the Dicke model, a fundamental model describing these systems, predicts exotic quantum phenomena, such as equilibrium superradiant phase transitions and ground-state two-mode squeezing. However, the experimental realization of genuine Dicke systems has remained elusive due to the inevitable existence of gauge-invariant self-interaction terms that hinder such phenomena. Here, we report on the on-chip realization of a Dicke-type system utilizing ultrastrong magnetic-dipole interactions between collective excitations in a spatially separated ferromagnetic array and a superconducting resonator, resulting in creation of magnon polaritons. Crucially, this spatially separated architecture allows the cooperative enhancement of the coupling strength without increasing the self-interaction energy. We experimentally confirm the Bloch-Siegert shift, originating from the counter-rotating terms, alongside the suppression of self-excitation terms required to observe critical Dicke physics. Our results establish a versatile platform, which provides the playground to explore quantum collective coupling physics and open pathways towards integrated quantum devices harnessing Dicke physics.

Tunable Magnon Polaritons via Eddy-Current-Induced Dissipation in Metallic-Banded YIG Spheres

We demonstrate a robust method to dynamically tune magnon dissipation in yttrium iron garnet spheres by equipping a metallic band around the sphere's equator, enabling precise control over magnon-photon coupling states. The collective magnetization dynamics in the YIG sphere induce circular eddy currents in the metallic band, whose magnitude can be systematically varied by adjusting the angle between the metallic band plane and an external static magnetic field. This angular dependence yields a pronounced modulation of the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) linewidth, facilitating seamless transitions between the Purcell and strong coupling regimes without altering photon cavity parameters. Systematic FMR and cavity spectroscopy measurements confirm that eddy-current-induced losses govern the primary mechanism behind the observed tunable damping. By achieving extensive periodic-angular dependence of magnon relaxation rate, we precisely control the magnon-photon coupling state, approaching the critical coupling condition. These results establish the YIG-metallic-band platform as a versatile and practical approach for engineering tunable magnon-polariton systems and advancing magnonic applications, including those exploring non-Hermitian magnonics.
