A review of common materials for hybrid quantum magnonics

Abstract

Hybrid magnonics is an emerging research area focusing on various types of interactions between magnons (quantized collective spin excitations) and other information carriers, which has found broad practical applications ranging from high-precision magnetometry and thermometry to quantum transduction and neuromorphic computing. In this paper we review different types of hybrid magnonic devices, and the materials that are commonly used in each device type. We also discuss recent trends in the exploration of new materials and interaction mechanisms, and future research challenges and opportunities.
