  • 本文从理论上提出了一种基于巴尼特效应(Barnett effect)的方案,用于研究腔磁系统中磁子模及腔模的非互易量子压缩特性.该方案考虑了一个由钇铁石榴石(YIG)球与一个微波腔构成的系统,磁子模与腔模通过磁偶极相互作用实现有效耦合.在这一方案中,对微波腔施加压缩光场并在合适参数条件下,腔模和磁子模可产生超过3 dB的量子压缩.进一步研究表明,当YIG球发生旋转时,巴尼特效应会在磁子模中引入一个与旋转方向相关的有效频移项,通过调节外加偏置磁场方向,可实现正或负的巴尼特频移.该频移导致系统中的压缩呈现出明显的非互易性,即压缩仅在某一特定磁场方向上存在,而在相反方向上被显著抑制甚至完全消失.此外,腔模与磁子模的压缩对温度具有较强的鲁棒性,在约1K的环境下仍能保持非互易压缩特性,降低了对实验条件的苛刻要求.本工作为在腔磁系统中实现非互易量子态调控提供了新的物理机制,并在量子信息处理与量子手性器件集成等方面具有潜在的应用前景.

    We theoretically propose a scheme based on the Barnett effect to investigate the nonreciprocal quantum squeezing of the magnon and cavity modes in a cavity magnonic system. The proposed setup considers a typical cavity magnonic system in which a yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere is placed inside a highquality microwave cavity. Under an external static magnetic field, the YIG sphere supports collective spin excitations, namely the magnon mode, which can strongly couple to the cavity mode via magnetic dipole interaction. The system can be described by the standard cavity–magnon Hamiltonian, which includes the free-energy terms of the cavity and magnon modes as well as their interaction term. In this model, a squeezed driving field is further injected into the microwave cavity. By employing the Heisenberg–Langevin equations, the dynamical equations of the system operators can be derived. The system operators are then decomposed into their steady-state mean values and quantum fluctuation parts. By performing linearization around the steady state, one obtains the linearized quantum Langevin equations that describe the dynamics of quantum fluctuations. By rewriting these equations in a matrix form and solving the corresponding covariance matrix, the squeezing properties of the cavity and magnon modes and their dependence on system parameters can be quantitatively analyzed. To introduce nonreciprocal effects, we further consider the rotation of the YIG sphere. According to the Barnett effect, the spin system experiences an effective magnetic field when the magnetic medium rotates, which leads to an additional frequency shift in the magnon mode that depends on the rotational angular velocity, known as the Barnett frequency shift. The sign of this shift depends on both the rotation direction and the orientation of the external bias magnetic field. Therefore, by reversing the direction of the bias magnetic field, either a positive or negative Barnett frequency shift can be realized. This mechanism breaks the symmetry of the system under different magnetic field directions, resulting in pronounced nonreciprocal squeezing behavior. Specifically, squeezing only appears for one particular magnetic field orientation, while it is significantly suppressed or even completely absent for the opposite orientation. Moreover, the squeezing of both the cavity and magnon modes exhibits strong robustness against thermal effects. The nonreciprocal squeezing can still be maintained at temperatures of about 1 K, which relaxes the stringent requirements on experimental conditions. Our work provides a new physical mechanism for realizing nonreciprocal quantum state control in cavity magnonic systems and may have potential applications in quantum information processing and the integration of chiral quantum devices.
