Magnetostrictively Induced Stationary Entanglement between Two Microwave Fields

Yu, Mei (author), Shen, Heng (author), Li, J. (author)

We present a scheme to entangle two microwave fields by using the nonlinear magnetostrictive interaction in a ferrimagnet. The magnetostrictive interaction enables the coupling between a magnon mode (spin wave) and a mechanical mode in the ferrimagnet, and the magnon mode simultaneously couples to two microwave cavity fields via the magnetic...
