Abstract

We theoretically propose a scheme for generating nonreciprocal macroscopic bipartite and tripartite entanglement using the Barnett effect in cavity-magnon optomechanics. The system consists of an optomechanical cavity and a rotatable yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere. Our results indicate that under appropriate parameter conditions, both bipartite entanglement and genuine tripartite entanglement can be generated between the cavity mode, mechanical mode, and magnon mode. Moreover, when the YIG sphere rotates, adjusting the magnetic field direction can induce a positive or negative Barnett shift, which leads to the nonreciprocity of entanglement, where entanglement exists in one chosen magnetic field direction and disappears in the other. Meanwhile, the macroscopic tripartite entanglement in the system is robust against thermal noise. Our work provides a possible avenue for quantum information processing, quantum chiral device integration, and multi-node quantum networks construction.

Introduction

In recent years, ferromagnetic materials exemplified by yttrium iron garnet (YIG) have been extensively studied due to their high spin density and low damping rate. This has established cavity magnomechanical systems as excellent platforms for exploring various quantum phenomena, quantum information processing, and quantum network construction13. With further research, many interesting quantum phenomena have been demonstrated in cavity magnomechanical systems, such as ground state cooling4, magnon blockade57, quadrature squeezing8,9, macroscopic entanglement10, and Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) steering11,12.

Quantum entanglement is one of the cornerstones of quantum mechanics, which describing the inseparability between particles. This nonclassical correlation is one of the essential differences between quantum mechanics and classical mechanics. This special property makes entanglement widely used in quantum communication13, quantum computation14, quantum teleportation15, and many other fields. Recently, many schemes have been proposed to generate steady-state entanglement in various quantum systems, such as reservoir engineering1619, coherent feedback2022, dark mode engineering23,24, and optical parametric amplifiers25,26. Moreover, magnon-based microwave-optical entanglement27,28 and tripartite entanglement between phonon-magnon-photon29 have also been implemented in cavity magnomechanical systems.

On the other hand, nonreciprocity describes the unidirectional invisibility of light in its propagation, that is, light can pass in one direction while being blocked in the other direction. This makes nonreciprocal physics have important significance in quantum communication, complex quantum network construction, and so on30,31. In recent years, the Sagnac effect induced by spin resonators has been extensively employed to study various nonreciprocal physical phenomena, including nonreciprocal entanglement and steering3237, nonreciprocal squeezing3840, and nonreciprocal photon blockade41,42. At the same time, experimental research on the Sagnac effect has also achieved significant success43. In addition, the Kerr effect of the magnon has also been shown to be able to generate nonreciprocity by changing the direction of the bias magnetic field4446, and nonreciprocal tripartite entanglement has been successfully achieved47. Interestingly, recent studies have proposed a scheme for generating magnon blockade through the Barnett effect48. This represents a significant advance in the study of nonreciprocal physics and could be used to further explore nonreciprocal entanglement between macroscopic objects.

Inspired by previous studies, here we present a theoretical scheme for generating nonreciprocal macroscopic tripartite entanglement in a cavity magnomechanical system via the Barnett effect. The system consists of an optomechanical cavity and a YIG sphere placed in the cavity, where the photon-magnon and optomechanical couplings are induced by magnetic dipole interactions and radiation pressure interactions, respectively. It has been shown that by choosing the appropriate system parameters, photon, magnon, and phonon can become entangled with each other and generate genuine tripartite entanglement. Moreover, when the YIG sphere rotates, we can generate a positive or negative Barnett shift by changing the direction of the magnetic field. This leads directly to the nonreciprocal entanglement in the system, where entanglement exists in one magnetic field direction but disappears in the other. Finally, we present a more nuanced discussion of the nonreciprocity of tripartite entanglement through the chiral factor, and investigate the robustness of bipartite and tripartite entanglement against thermal noise, as well as the effect of mechanical damping rates on entanglement.

The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. Firstly, we introduce the model of this paper and its corresponding Hamiltonian. Secondly, we study the quantum Langevin equations and linearized dynamics of the system. Furthermore, we study bipartite and tripartite entanglement in the system and explore the nonreciprocity of entanglement. Finally, we present a brief conclusion.

Methods

Model and Hamiltonian

In this paper, we present a hybrid quantum system consisting of a YIG sphere and an optomechanical cavity. As shown in Fig. 1, a rotatable YIG sphere is placed in the optomechanical cavity and is fully magnetizable by a static magnetic field Inline graphic along the z direction. This allows the frequency of the magnon to be regulated by the static magnetic field Inline graphic, which can be expressed as Inline graphic with the gyromagnetic ratio Inline graphic. When a ferromagnetic object rotates around a fixed axis, the spin and orbital magnetic moments of the electrons inside it show a significant orientation preference along the direction of the rotation axis, thus inducing magnetization of the ferromagnetic object. This physical phenomenon is known as the Barnett effect. Based on this mechanism, when YIG sphere rotates around the z-axis with an angular velocity Inline graphic, it generates an emergent magnetic field in the direction of the z-axis, which can be expressed as: Inline graphic. This magnetic field is known as the Barnett field and causes a shift in the magnon frequency4953. In this case, the magnon frequency can be expressed as Inline graphic. Experimentally, we can fix the rotation direction of the YIG sphere and adjust the frequency shift either positively or negatively by changing the direction of the static magnetic field Inline graphic, which corresponds to Inline graphic (Inline graphic) when the static magnetic field is positive (negative) along the z-axis. Different magnon frequency shifts will affect the generation of entanglement in the system, which is the core mechanism of nonreciprocal entanglement. In the rotating frame defined by expInline graphic, the Hamiltonian of the cavity magnomechanical system can be written as

graphic file with name M16.gif 1

where a (Inline graphic), m (Inline graphic), and b (Inline graphic) are the annihilation (creation) operators of the cavity mode, magnon mode, and mechanical mode, respectively. Inline graphic and Inline graphic are the drive detuning of the cavity mode and magnon mode, respectively. The cavity and magnon modes are coupled via the magnetic dipole force with coupling strength Inline graphic. And Inline graphic denotes the single optomechanical coupling strength. The Rabi frequency Inline graphic represents the coupling strength of the magnon mode with the driving field.

The cavity mode, with frequency Inline graphic, is coupled to the magnon mode (frequency Inline graphic ) through magnetic dipole interaction, and to the mechanical mode (frequency Inline graphic ) via radiation pressure interaction.

Quantum Langevin equations and linearized dynamics

In this section, we study the quantum Langevin equations and linearized dynamics of the system. Based on the Eq. (1), the quantum Langevin equations of the system can be read as

graphic file with name M25.gif 2

where Inline graphic and Inline graphic are the decay rates of the cavity mode and magnon mode respectively, and Inline graphic is the damping rate of the mechanical mode. The operators Inline graphic, Inline graphic, and Inline graphic are input noise operators characterized by the following correlation functions:

graphic file with name M32.gif 3

where Inline graphic represents the average thermal phonons number associated with mechanical mode. Next, we will linearize the Langevin equation by rewriting the operator. We set all operators as Inline graphic, Inline graphic is the steady-state average value, and Inline graphic is the fluctuation operator. In this case, we can rewrite Eq. (2) as

graphic file with name M37.gif 4

where Inline graphic is the normalized driving detuning of the cavity mode, and Inline graphic is the effective optomechanical coupling strength between the cavity mode and mechanical mode. In order to further study the bipartite and tripartite entanglement in the system, we introduce the orthogonal operator: Inline graphic and Inline graphic, and the corresponding quadrature operators of input quantum noise Inline graphic and Inline graphic. Then we can rewrite Eq. (4) as

where

graphic file with name M45.gif 6

and

graphic file with name M46.gif 7

The coefficient matrix A can be written as

graphic file with name M47.gif 8

It is important to note that the stability of the linearized optomechanical system can be measured by the Routh-Hurwitz criterion. To ensure that the system can evolve to a steady state, the chosen parameters are in the stability region. Due to the linearized dynamics and Gaussian nature of the input quantum noise, the steady state of the system is zero-mean Gaussian state. It can be represented by the 6 Inline graphic 6 covariance matrix Inline graphic, defined as

graphic file with name M50.gif 9

And the covariance matrix Inline graphic satisfies the Lyapunov equation54

graphic file with name M52.gif 10

where Inline graphic is the diffusion matrix, it can be written as Inline graphic.

An arbitrary target two-mode Gaussian state in the system can be described by a covariance matrix in the form of a 4 × 4 block matrix, it could be written as

graphic file with name M55.gif 11

On this basis, we can quantify bipartite entanglement by introducing logarithmic negativity Inline graphic55. It can be expressed as follows

graphic file with name M57.gif 12

where

with

graphic file with name M65.gif 14

Moreover, we quantify the tripartite entanglement among cavity mode, magnon mode, and mechanical mode in the system via minimal residual contangle Inline graphic56. It can be represented as

graphic file with name M67.gif 15

When the nonzero minimum residual contangle Inline graphic, it means that genuine tripartite entanglement is generated in the system.

Results

Nonreciprocal macroscopic entanglement

In this section, we will examine in detail nonreciprocal bipartite and tripartite entanglement in the system. In Fig. 2, we discuss the effects of coupling strength Inline graphic and magnon detuning Inline graphic on the bipartite and tripartite entanglement assuming that the YIG sphere is not rotating (Inline graphic). Since in this scheme, we assume that the system is working in the resolved sideband condition and the strong coupling condition is satisfied between the cavity mode and the mechanical mode. Therefore, we can select the following experimentally feasible parameters while satisfying the stability conditions 57: Inline graphic, Inline graphic, Inline graphic, Inline graphic, Inline graphic, and Inline graphic. Meanwhile, for better generation and distribution of entanglement, we choose: Inline graphic. From Fig. 2, we can found that Inline graphic changes with Inline graphic in a completely opposite trend to Inline graphic and Inline graphic. This phenomenon indicates that optomechanical entanglement, as a quantum resource, is partially distributed to other subsystems, enabling genuine tripartite entanglement among cavity mode, magnon mode, and mechanical mode, as demonstrated in Fig. 2d. This phenomenon can be explained by the effective Hamiltonian, under strong coupling conditions, it can be written as:

graphic file with name M89.gif 16

In Eq. (16), the first term is the parametric downconversion type Hamiltonian, which generates entanglement between the cavity and mechanical modes. The latter two terms are the beam-splitter type Hamiltonian, and the optomechanical entanglement generated via the parametric downconversion interaction can be partially distributed to the other two subsystems through this state-exchange interaction. This transfer of entanglement enables genuine tripartite entanglement to occur in the system. Additionally, the beam-splitter type interaction between cavity mode and mechanical mode can also significantly cool the mechanical mode, which helps to improve the robustness of the system. Interestingly, we note that all entanglements can be maximized near Inline graphic. The optomechanical entanglement Inline graphic, photon-magnon entanglement Inline graphic, magnon-phonon entanglement Inline graphic, and tripartite entanglement Inline graphic. This phenomenon can be attributed to the decisive role played by the magnon in the process of entanglement assignment in the system when it is in resonance with the Stokes sideband. Similar mechanisms have been demonstrated and used in previous studies to realize atom-photon-phonon entanglement58.

In a previous study, we discussed bipartite and tripartite entanglement in the system when the YIG sphere is not rotating. In this case, the system is reciprocal. However, when the YIG sphere rotates, the resulting Barnett field causes the magnon frequency to shift. By changing the direction of the static magnetic field Inline graphic, we are able to determine whether the frequency shift is positive or negative. This effect is the source of the nonreciprocity of entanglement in the system. Next, we will investigate the nonreciprocal entanglement in the system through numerical simulations. In Fig. 3, we study the influence of magnon detuning on bipartite and tripartite entanglement in the system under three different cases of Inline graphic, Inline graphic, and Inline graphic, respectively. These three cases correspond to the blue, black, and red dotted lines in Fig. 3. As shown in Fig. 3a–c, when the static magnetic field is reversed along the z-axis direction (i.e., Inline graphic), the optomechanical entanglement Inline graphic, photon-magnon entanglement Inline graphic, and magnon-phonon entanglement Inline graphic all peak near Inline graphic, with maxima of 0.17, 0.18, and 0.16, respectively. It is worth noting that the entanglement in the other magnetic field direction disappears completely under this condition. In addition, the tripartite entanglement in Fig. 3d shows similar properties: when Inline graphic, the tripartite entanglement peaks at Inline graphic with a maximum value of Inline graphic, and it disappears completely in the opposite magnetic field direction. Thus, we demonstrate that ideal nonreciprocal entanglement can be generated through this system.

Here we choose Inline graphic, and the other parameters remain the same as those given in Fig. 2.

In Fig. 4, we further study the effect of the Barnett shift Inline graphic on the nonreciprocity of tripartite entanglement. Moreover, we also discuss the robustness of the system and the influence of mechanical damping rate on entanglement. In Fig. 4a, we see that as Inline graphic increases, if Inline graphic, the entanglement will then increase monotonically, while for Inline graphic, the entanglement will decay rapidly to 0. To quantify the nonreciprocity of tripartite entanglement in a system, we introduce chiral factor here, which can be written as:

graphic file with name M115.gif 17

The chiral factor is a number greater than 0 and less than or equal to 1. In this interval, a larger value of Inline graphic represents a stronger nonreciprocity. When Inline graphic, the system can achieve complete nonreciprocity. In Fig. 4b, we study the effect of magnon detuning Inline graphic and Barnett shift Inline graphic on the nonreciprocity of tripartite entanglement using the chiral factor Inline graphic. We can find that the chiral factor Inline graphic increases gradually as the Barnett shift Inline graphic increases. When Inline graphic takes the proper value and Inline graphic, the chiral factor Inline graphic can reach the maximum value (Inline graphic). This proves that nonreciprocal macroscopic tripartite entanglement can be realized in this system. We next investigate the robustness of entanglement to thermal noise in the system and the effect of the mechanical damping rate Inline graphic on entanglement. The blue, black, red, and green dotted lines in Fig. 4c, d represent Inline graphic, Inline graphic, Inline graphic, and Inline graphic, respectively. In Fig. 4c we can find that all entanglement will weaken as the average number of thermal phonons Inline graphic increases. We see that optomechanical entanglement Inline graphic, which is most sensitive to thermal noise, can still exist in a place for Inline graphic. Moreover, Inline graphic and Inline graphic with better robustness can still exist when Inline graphic and Inline graphic, respectively. At the same time, the macroscopic tripartite entanglement between the three modes can also be maintained at Inline graphic. This means that both bipartite and tripartite entanglement in the system have excellent robustness to thermal noise, which is due to the cooling effect of cavity mode on mechanical mode. We also plot entanglement as a function of the mechanical damping rate Inline graphic in Fig. 4d. We can obviously observe that when Inline graphic, the entanglement will not change obviously, but when the damping rate Inline graphic continues to increase, the entanglement will experience significant decay. However, the macroscopic tripartite entanglement can still exist under a high damping rate, even if Inline graphic. Furthermore, all bipartite entanglements exist within the range of Inline graphic.

(b) The chiral factor as a function of the magnon detuning and Barnett shift Inline graphic, and the effect of (c) the average thermal phonon number Inline graphic and (d) the mechanical damping rate Inline graphic on entanglement in the system.

Finally, we will briefly discuss the experimental feasibility of the present scheme and the potential applications of nonreciprocal entanglement. In view of recent research progress, strong optomechanical coupling within the parameter range Inline graphic as well as optomechanical cavities with higher quality factors have been experimentally verified in a variety of optomechanical systems5961. Based on these results, we can choose the following experimentally feasible parameters: Inline graphic, Inline graphic, Inline graphic, and Inline graphic. In addition, the magnitude of the Barnett shift is directly related to the rotational angular velocity of the YIG sphere. Recent experimental studies have shown that the angular velocity of the YIG sphere can reach the order of Inline graphic by using the levitated crystal62,63. Meanwhile, theoretical studies have shown that, based on the Einstein-De Haas effect, the angular velocity of the YIG sphere is expected to be further advanced to 10 Inline graphic49. However, the high rotation speed of the YIG sphere may lead to an increase in temperature52,64, which can be solved by placing the system in a low-temperature vacuum environment. Another point to note is that the inherent Kerr effect of the magnon may have some influence on the bipartite and tripartite entanglement in the system. This problem can be solved by choosing a suitable size of the YIG sphere. It has been referenced that the Kerr coefficient magnitude is extremely weak (Inline graphic) and can be approximated to be negligible when the diameter of the YIG sphere is about 250 Inline graphic65. Therefore, the experimental feasibility of the present scheme can be ensured by applying YIG spheres of this size. Further, the model proposed in this paper has significant potential for practical applications. In this scheme, nonreciprocal bipartite and tripartite quantum entanglement between the magnon, phonon and photon is successfully realized by exploiting the Barnett effect. Remarkably, this entanglement arises only in a specific direction and disappears completely in the opposite direction. This unique directional property makes nonreciprocal entanglement valuable for applications in quantum information processing tasks, such as quantum teleportation66,67, quantum transduction68 and quantum sensing69. In addition, since the nonreciprocal quantum correlation between macroscopic devices can be used to realize unidirectional quantum information transmission, this scheme also shows potential applications in the construction of multi-node chiral quantum networks70,71.

Discussion

In conclusion, we have presented a scheme to realize nonreciprocal macroscopic tripartite entanglement in cavity-magnon optomechanics via the Barnett effect. By selecting appropriate system parameters, it is possible to achieve all bipartite entanglements among the cavity mode, magnon mode, and mechanical mode, as well as genuine tripartite entanglement. However, when the YIG sphere rotates, we can control the direction of the magnetic field to produce a positive or negative Barnett shift. In this case, the nonreciprocal macroscopic tripartite entanglement between three modes can be generated. In addition, we find that all entanglement are robust against thermal noise. Our study not only provides a possible approach for multipartite entanglement between macroscopic devices, but also has potential applications in several aspects, such as quantum information processing and the preparation of thermal noise-resistant quantum resources.
