Abstract

We present a hybrid quantum system composed of a magnetic vortex and a nanomechanical resonator. We show that the gyrotropic mode of the vortex can coherently couple to the quantized mechanical motion of the resonator through magnetic interaction. Benefiting from the topologically protected properties and the low damping of vortices, as well as the excellent coherent features of nanomechanical resonators, the proposed system can achieve strong coupling and even the ultrastrong coupling regime by choosing appropriate parameters. In combination with other quantum systems, such as a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center, coherent state transfer between the vortex excitation and the spin can be realized. This setup provides a potential platform for quantum information processing and investigations into the ultrastrong coupling regimes and macroscopic quantum physics.
