## Abstract

We propose a scheme to entangle two magnon modes via Kerr nonlinear effect when driving the systems far-from-equilibrium. We consider two macroscopic yttrium iron garnets (YIGs) interacting with a single-mode microcavity through the magnetic dipole coupling. The Kittel mode describing the collective excitations of large number of spins are excited through driving cavity with a strong microwave field. We demonstrate how the Kerr nonlineraity creates the entangled quantum states between the two macroscopic ferromagnetic samples, when the microcavity is strongly driven by a blue-detuned microwave field. Such quantum entanglement survives at the steady state. Our work offers new insights and guidance to designate the experiments for observing the entanglement in massive ferromagnetic materials. It can also find broad applications in macroscopic quantum effects and magnetic spintronics.
