Dual-domain coherent emission: Photon-magnon laser in a hybrid quantum system

We present a quantum theoretical framework that describes the simultaneous emergence of magnon- and photon lasing in a tripartite hybrid solid-state platform. The system integrates optically pumped nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers, a magnetic yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) microsphere, and a microwave (MW) cavity. Through a comprehensive analysis of the system's dynamics, we reveal the cooperative interactions that drive coherent-stimulated emission in both the magnonic (spin-wave) and photonic (electromagnetic) domains. The model outlines a scalable configuration in which NV centers, excited via optical pumping, couple efficiently to the magnon modes of the YIG sphere placed inside the microwave cavity. Numerical simulations based on experimentally accessible parameters confirm the feasibility of dual-domain lasing. This work advances the integration of photonic and magnonic platforms, opening new opportunities for quantum-enhanced sensing, low-power spintronics, and on-chip quantum information processing.

Abstract

We present a quantum theoretical framework that describes the simultaneous emergence of magnon- and photon lasing in a tripartite hybrid solid-state platform. The system integrates optically pumped nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers, a magnetic yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) microsphere, and a microwave (MW) cavity. Through a comprehensive analysis of the system's dynamics, we reveal the cooperative interactions that drive coherent-stimulated emission in both the magnonic (spin-wave) and photonic (electromagnetic) domains. The model outlines a scalable configuration in which NV centers, excited via optical pumping, couple efficiently to the magnon modes of the YIG sphere placed inside the microwave cavity. Numerical simulations based on experimentally accessible parameters confirm the feasibility of dual-domain lasing. This work advances the integration of photonic and magnonic platforms, opening new opportunities for quantum-enhanced sensing, low-power spintronics, and on-chip quantum information processing.
