Chirally-symmetric-like unconventional magnon blockade in a dissipative cavity-magnon system

Abstract

We present a theoretically versatile and controllable framework for realizing chirally-symmetric-like unconventional magnon blockade within a cavity-magnon system composed of a yttrium iron garnet sphere and a cross-line microwave circuit, where the cavity mode is driven by a two-photon driving field. Under optimal conditions regarding the driving strength and phase of this two-photon field, we observe that magnon blockade exhibits chiral-like symmetry even in high-dissipation scenarios. However, the introduction of coherent coupling leads to energy level splitting that counteracts the energy level attraction induced by dissipative coupling, thereby diminishing the blockade effect. Furthermore, we clarify that the energy level attraction resulting from dissipative coupling remains invariant with respect to variations in the phase of this coupling coefficient. Our approach offers promising applications for tunable single-magnon sources and quantum information processing.
