Cooling and Squeezing a Microwave Cavity State with Magnons Using a Beam Splitter Interaction

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory D. Fuchs | First 5 Authors: Qin Xu, Gregory D. Fuchs, , , | Summary: We propose two geometries to realize a significant beam splitter interaction (XZ coupling) between magnons and a 2D microwave cavity mode. In both setups the cavity is analogous to the mechanical oscillator in a conventional optomechanical setup. […]
