Magnetic insulator heterostructures can offer larger design space for realizing exotic magnonic quantum states, provided that individual layers have low damping and their exchange coupling is strong and engineerable. Here, we show that, in a high-quality all-insulator thulium iron garnet (TmIG)/YIG bilayer system, TmIG exhibits an ultralow dissipation rate thanks to its low-damping, low-saturation magnetization and strong orbital momentum. The low dissipation rates in both YIG and TmIG, along with their significant coupling strength due to interfacial exchange coupling, enable strong and coherent magnon-magnon coupling. The coupling strength can be tuned by varying the magnetic insulator layer thickness and magnon modes, which is consistent with analytical calculations and micromagnetic simulations. Our results demonstrate TmIG/YIG as a novel platform for investigating hybrid magnonic phenomena and open opportunities for magnon devices comprising all-insulator heterostructures.","PeriodicalId":20109,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Applied","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142224196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The decomposition is applied recursively to generic quantum gates, and can take advantage of existing and future small-circuit optimizations. Because our method uses only single-qubit gates and uniformly controlled rotation-Z gates, it can easily be adapted to use other types of multi-qubit gates. With the proposed decomposition, a general three-qubit gate can be decomposed using 19 <span>cnot</span> gates (rather than 20).

An analysis of phonon dispersion and spectral energy density shows that phonon dispersions of a <math display=\"inline\" overflow=\"scroll\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"><mi>Si</mi></math> membrane are flattened due to local resonant hybridization induced by both crystalline and amorphous pillars.

Specifically, when the atomic mass of the atoms in the pillars increases, the thermal conductivity of NPMs with a crystalline pillar increases because of the weakened phonon hybridization. However, the thermal conductivity of NPMs with an amorphous pillar is almost unchanged. The analyses of the reduction of thermal conductivity show that both resonant hybridization and scattering mechanisms are important in NPMs with a crystalline pillar, while the scattering mechanism dominates in NPMs with an amorphous pillar and NPMs with a short crystalline pillar. The results of this work can provide meaningful insights into controlling thermal transport in NPMs by choosing the materials and atomic mass of pillars for specific applications.","PeriodicalId":20109,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Applied","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142224197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We assume that their magnetization is bound to a two-dimensional surface and is composed of a complete basis of surface modes. By posing the Poisson’s equation relating the magnetic scalar potential to the magnetization using Green’s functions, we derive simple integrals that determine the magnetic field generated by each mode. This approach is demonstrated by deriving the governing integrals for optimizing axial magnetization on cylindrical and circular-planar surfaces. We approximate the governing integrals numerically and implement them into a regularized least-squares optimization routine to design permanent magnets that generate uniform axial and transverse target magnetic fields. The resulting uniform axial magnetic field profiles demonstrate more than a tenfold increase in uniformity across equivalent target regions compared to the field generated by an optimally separated axially magnetized pair of rings, as validated using finite element method simulations. We use a simple example to examine how two-dimensional surface magnetization profiles can be emulated using thin three-dimensional volumes and determine how many discrete intervals are required to accurately approximate a continuously varying surface pattern. Magnets designed using our approach may enable higher-quality bias fields for electric machines, nuclear fusion, fundamental physics, magnetic trapping, and beyond.","PeriodicalId":20109,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Applied","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142224222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, anisotropic magnetization reveals significant PMA stronger than any other &lt;math display=\"inline\" overflow=\"scroll\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"&gt;&lt;mi&gt;Cr&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;/math&gt;-based transition metal chalcogenide, with a negligible saturation field for &lt;math display=\"inline\" overflow=\"scroll\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"&gt;&lt;mi&gt;H&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;mo&gt;/&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mo&gt;/&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mi&gt;c&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;/math&gt; but a distinct one up to 155 kOe for &lt;math display=\"inline\" overflow=\"scroll\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"&gt;&lt;mi&gt;H&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;mo&gt;/&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mo&gt;/&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mi&gt;a&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;mi&gt;b&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;/math&gt;. Critical exponents &lt;math display=\"inline\" overflow=\"scroll\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"&gt;&lt;mi&gt;β&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;mo&gt;=&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mn&gt;0.340&lt;/mn&gt;&lt;mo stretchy=\"false\"&gt;(&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mn&gt;5&lt;/mn&gt;&lt;mo stretchy=\"false\"&gt;)&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;/math&gt;, &lt;math display=\"inline\" overflow=\"scroll\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"&gt;&lt;mi&gt;γ&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;mo&gt;=&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mn&gt;1.114&lt;/mn&gt;&lt;mo stretchy=\"false\"&gt;(&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mn&gt;1&lt;/mn&gt;&lt;mo stretchy=\"false\"&gt;)&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;/math&gt;, and &lt;math display=\"inline\" overflow=\"scroll\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"&gt;&lt;mi&gt;δ&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;mo&gt;=&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mn&gt;4.504&lt;/mn&gt;&lt;mo stretchy=\"false\"&gt;(&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mn&gt;5&lt;/mn&gt;&lt;mo stretchy=\"false\"&gt;)&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;/math&gt; are obtained for &lt;math display=\"inline\" overflow=\"scroll\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"&gt;&lt;mi&gt;H&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;mo&gt;/&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mo&gt;/&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mi&gt;c&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;/math&gt;, which fall between the three-dimensional (3D)-&lt;math display=\"inline\" overflow=\"scroll\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"&gt;&lt;mi&gt;X&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;mi&gt;Y&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;/math&gt; and 3D-Ising models indicative of anisotropic magnetic coupling.
