Abstract

Hybrid magnonics has recently attracted intensive attentions as a promising platform for coherent information processing. In spite of its rapid development, on-demand control over the interaction of magnons with other information carriers, in particular microwave photons in electromagnonic systems, has been long missing, significantly limiting the broad applications of hybrid magnonics. Here, we show that by introducing Floquet engineering into cavity electromagnonics, coherent control on the magnon-microwave photon coupling can be realized. Leveraging the periodic temporal modulation from a Floquet drive, our first-of-its-kind Floquet cavity electromagnonic system can manipulate the interaction between hybridized cavity electromagnonic modes on demand. Moreover, we demonstrate a new coupling regime in such systems: the Floquet ultrastrong coupling, where the Floquet splitting is comparable with or even larger than the level spacing of the two interacting modes, resulting in the breakdown of the rotating wave approximation. Our findings open up new directions for magnon-based coherent signal processing.
