Scientists tame photon-magnon interaction

Nanowerk  January 14, 2021 Microwave photon-magnon interaction has emerged in recent years as a promising platform for both classical and quantum information processing. Yet, this interaction had proved impossible to manipulate in real time. By smart engineering, a team of researchers in the US (Argonne National Laboratory, University of Chicago) employed an electrical signal to periodically alter the magnon vibrational frequency and thereby inducing effective magnon-photon interaction resulting in a microwave-magnonic device with on-demand tunability. The device can control the strength of the photon-magnon interaction at any point as information is being transferred between photons and magnons. It can even […]
