Using first-principles calculations we demonstrate sizable exchange coupling between a magnetic molecule and a magnetic substrate via a graphene layer. As a model system we consider cobaltocene (CoCp$_2$) adsorbed on graphene deposited on Ni(111). We find that the magnetic coupling between the molecule and the substrate is antiferromagnetic and varies considerably depending on the molecule structure, the adsorption geometry, and the stacking of graphene on Ni(111). We show how this coupling can be tuned by intercalating a magnetic monolayer, e.g. Fe or Co, between graphene and Ni(111). We identify the leading mechanism responsible for the coupling to be the spatial and energy matching of the frontier orbitals of CoCp$_2$ and graphene close to the Fermi level, and we demonstrate the role of graphene as an electronic decoupling layer, yet allowing spin communication between molecule and substrate.

The effective spin exchange coupling between impurities (adatoms) on graphene mediated by conduction electrons is studied as a function of the strength of the potential part of the on-site energy $U$ of the electron-adatom interaction. With increasing $U$, the exchange coupling becomes long-range, determined largely by the impurity levels with energies close to the Dirac points. When adatoms reside on opposite sublattices, their exchange coupling, normally antiferromagnetic, becomes ferromagnetic and resonantly enhanced at a specific distance where an impurity level crosses the Dirac point.
Scalable architectures for quantum information technologies require to selectively couple long-distance qubits while suppressing environmental noise and cross-talk. In semiconductor materials, the coherent coupling of a single spin on a quantum dot to a cavity hosting fermionic modes offers a new solution to this technological challenge. Here, we demonstrate coherent coupling between two spatially separated quantum dots using an electronic cavity design that takes advantage of whispering-gallery modes in a two-dimensional electron gas. The cavity-mediated long-distance coupling effectively minimizes undesirable direct cross-talk between the dots and defines a scalable architecture for all-electronic semiconductor-based quantum information processing.
The effective interaction between resonant magnetic Anderson impurities in graphene, mediated by conduction electrons, is studied as a function of the strength of the onsite energy level of the impurities and the amplitude of coupling to conduction electrons. The sign and character of the interaction depend on whether the impurities reside on the same or opposite sublattices. For the same (opposite) sublattice, the potential interaction is attractive (repulsive) in the weak coupling limit with $1/R^3$ dependence on the distance; the interaction reverses sign and becomes repulsive (attractive) in the strong coupling limit and displays $1/R$ behavior. The spin-exchange coupling is ferromagnetic (antiferromagnetic) at both large and small distances, but reverses sign and becomes anti-ferromagnetic (ferromagnetic) for intermediate distances. For opposite sublattices, the effective spin exchange coupling is resonantly enhanced at distances where the energy levels cross the Dirac points.
We investigate long-range coherent and dissipative coupling between two spatially separated magnets while both are coupled to a microwave cavity. A careful examination of the system shows that the indirect interaction between two magnon modes is dependent on their individual mechanisms of direct coupling to the cavity. If both magnon modes share the same form of coupling to the cavity (either coherent or dissipative), then the indirect coupling between them will produce level repulsion. Conversely, if the magnon modes have different forms of coupling to the cavity (one coherent and one dissipative), then their indirect coupling will produce level attraction. We further demonstrate the cavity-mediate nature of the indirect interaction through investigating the dependence of the indirect coupling strength on the frequency detuning between the magnon and cavity modes. Our work theoretically and experimentally explores indirect cavity mediate interactions in systems exhibiting both coherent and dissipative coupling, which opens a new avenue for controlling and utilizing light-matter interactions.
We present experimental results showing phonon-mediated coupling between two quantum dots embedded inside a photonic crystal microcavity. With only one of the dots being spectrally close to the cavity, we observe both frequency up-conversion and down-conversion of the pump light via a $sim1.2$ THz phonon. We demonstrate this process for both weak and strong regimes of dot-cavity coupling, and provide a simple theoretical model explaining our observations.
