Cavity Magnonics is an emerging field studying the light-matter interactions involving cavity photons and magnons [1]. Via the quantum physics of spin-photon entanglement on the one hand, and classical electrodynamic coupling on the other, magnon-photon coupling connects some of the most exciting modern physics, such as quantum information and quantum optics, with one of the oldest science on the earth, the magnetism [2].

 This presentation outlines our most recent advancement in this field through the creation of a critically-driven cavity magnonics platform [3], which has enabled strong coupling [4] over a long distance mediated by traveling-photons — a capability unattainable previously. Notably, the experiment revealed striking anomalies: the coupling strength oscillated at double the period observed in conventional photon-mediated coupling, and exhibited distinct mode splitting within the cavity’s linewidth. These findings challenge existing coupled-mode theories, and the experimental result shows the potential of exploiting critical phenomena to build magnonics network over large distances, which could pave a way for developing quantum internet.

Biography

Can-Ming Hu is a Distinguished Professor at the University of Manitoba in Canada. He graduated from Fudan University in 1988, obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Würzburg in 1995, and received a Habilitation degree from the University of Hamburg in 2005. He served as an IEEE Magnetics Society’s Distinguished Lecturer (2018) and a Co-Chair of the Physics Evaluation Groups of NSERC Canada (2021-2022). He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and an Outstanding Referee for APS journals. His group is now studying Cavity Magnonics and developing magnon-based microwave devices.
