Coherent control of magnon radiative damping with local photon states

A magnon, the collective excitation of ordered spins, can spontaneously radiate a travelling photon to an open system when decaying to the ground state. However, in contrast to electric dipoles, magnetic dipoles by magnons are more isolated from the environment, limiting their radiation and coherent communication with photons. The recent...

The microscopic origin of magnon-photon level attraction by traveling waves: Theory and experiment

The dissipative light-matter coupling can cause the attraction of two energy levels, i.e., level attraction, when competing with the coherent coupling that induces usual Rabi-level splitting. The level attraction shows attractive potential for topological information processing. However, the underlying microscopic quantum mechanism of...

Nonlinear frequency division multiplexing with b-modulation: Shifting the energy barrier

The recently proposed b-modulation method for nonlinear Fourier transform-based fiber-optic transmission offers explicit control over the duration of the generated pulses and therewith solves a longstanding practical problem. The currently used b-modulation however suffers from a fundamental energy barrier. There is a limit to the energy of...
