Dissipation-induced nonreciprocal magnon entanglement and one-way steering in waveguide electromagnonics

We propose a scheme to generate nonreciprocal entanglement and one-way steering between two distant ferrimagnetic microspheres in waveguide electromagnonics, where the magnon modes of two yttrium iron garnet (YIG) spheres are simultaneously coupled to each other through coherent and dissipative interactions. By matching the coherent interaction with its corresponding dissipative counterpart, unidirectional coupling between two magnon modes can be realized, and then in the presence of significant Kerr nonlinearities, we can obtain strong entanglement and oneway steering. Depending on the direction of the microwave propagation, the long-distance entanglement and steering can be generated nonreciprocally. Our work presents a novel, to the best of our knowledge, approach for generating nonreciprocal quantum correlations, which may find potential applications in chiral quantum networking.
