Magnons, the quanta of spin waves, could be used to encode information in beyond-Moore computing applications, and magnonic device components, including logic gates, transistors, and units for non-Boolean computing, have already been developed. Magnonic directional couplers, which can function as circuit building blocks, have also been explored, but have been impractical because of their millimetre dimensions and multi-mode spectra. Here, we report a magnonic directional coupler based on yttrium iron garnet single-mode waveguides of 350 nm width. We use the amplitude of a spin-wave to encode information and to guide it to one of the two outputs of the coupler depending on the signal magnitude, frequency, and the applied magnetic field. Using micromagnetic simulations, we also propose an integrated magnonic half-adder that consists of two directional couplers and processes all information within the magnon domain with aJ energy consumption.

The field of magnonics offers a new type of low-power information processing, in which magnons, the quanta of spin waves, carry and process data instead of electrons. Many magnonic devices were demonstrated recently, but the development of each of th
em requires specialized investigations and, usually, one device design is suitable for one function only. Here, we introduce the method of inverse-design magnonics, in which any functionality can be specified first, and a feedback-based computational algorithm is used to obtain the device design. Our proof-of-concept prototype is based on a rectangular ferromagnetic area which can be patterned using square shaped voids. To demonstrate the universality of this approach, we explore linear, nonlinear and nonreciprocal magnonic functionalities and use the same algorithm to create a magnonic (de-)multiplexer, a nonlinear switch and a circulator. Thus, inverse-design magnonics can be used to develop highly efficient rf applications as well as Boolean and neuromorphic computing building blocks.
The field of magnonics, which aims at using spin waves as carriers in data processing devices, has attracted increasing interest in recent years. We present and study micromagnetically a nonlinear nanoscale magnonic ring resonator device for enabling
implementations of magnonic logic gates and neuromorphic magnonic circuits. In the linear regime, this device efficiently suppresses spin-wave transmission using the phenomenon of critical resonant coupling, thus exhibiting the behavior of a notch filter. By increasing the spin-wave input power, the resonance frequency is shifted leading to transmission curves, depending on the frequency, reminiscent of the activation functions of neurons or showing the characteristics of a power limiter. An analytical theory is developed to describe the transmission curve of magnonic ring resonators in the linear and nonlinear regimes and validated by a comprehensive micromagnetic study. The proposed magnonic ring resonator provides a multi-functional nonlinear building block for unconventional magnonic circuits.
Recently we demonstrated experimentally that microwave oscillators based on the time delay feedback provided by traveling spin waves could operate as reservoir computers. In the present paper, we extend this concept by adding the feature of time mult
iplexing made available by the large propagation times/distances of traveling spin waves. The system utilizes the nonlinear behavior of propagating magnetostatic surface spin waves in a yttrium-iron garnet thin film and the time delay inherent in the active ring configuration to process time dependent data streams. Higher reservoir dimensionality is obtained through the time-multiplexing method, emulating virtual neurons as temporally separated spin-wave pulses circulating in the active ring below the auto-oscillation threshold. To demonstrate the efficacy of the concept, the active ring reservoir computer is evaluated on the short-term memory and parity check benchmark tasks, and the physical system parameters are tuned to optimize performance. By incorporating a reference line to mix the input signal directly onto the active ring output, both the amplitude and phase nonlinearity of the spin waves can be exploited, resulting in significant improvement on the nonlinear parity check task. We also find that the fading memory capacity of the system can be easily tuned by controlling the active ring gain. Finally, we show that the addition of a second spin-wave delay line configured to transmit backward volume spin waves can partly compensate dispersive pulse broadening and enhance the fading memory capacity of the active ring.
Wave-based data processing by spin waves and their quanta, magnons, is a promising technique to overcome the challenges which CMOS-based logic networks are facing nowadays. The advantage of these quasi-particles lies in their potential for the realiz
ation of energy efficient devices on the micro- to nanometer scale due to their charge-less propagation in magnetic materials. In this paper, the frequency dependence of the propagation direction of caustic-like spin-wave beams in microstructured ferromagnets is studied by micromagnetic simulations. Based on the observed alteration of the propagation angle, an approach to spatially combine and separate spin-wave signals of different frequencies is demonstrated. The presented magnetic structure constitutes a prototype design of a passive circuit enabling frequency-division multiplexing in magnonic logic networks. It is verified that spin-wave signals of different frequencies can be transmitted through the device simultaneously without any interaction or creation of spurious signals. Due to the wave-based approach of computing in magnonic networks, the technique of frequency-division multiplexing can be the basis for parallel data processing in single magnonic devices, enabling the multiplication of the data throughput.
A quantum network consisting of magnonic and mechanical nodes connected by light is proposed. Recent years have witnessed a significant development in cavity magnonics based on collective spin excitations in ferrimagnetic crystals, such as yttrium ir
on garnet (YIG). Magnonic systems are considered to be a promising building block for a future quantum network. However, a major limitation of the system is that the coherence time of the magnon excitations is limited by their intrinsic loss (typically in the order of 1 $mu$s for YIG). Here, we show that by coupling the magnonic system to a mechanical system using optical pulses, an arbitrary magnonic state (either classical or quantum) can be transferred to and stored in a distant long-lived mechanical resonator. The fidelity depends on the pulse parameters and the transmission loss. We further show that the magnonic and mechanical nodes can be prepared in a macroscopic entangled state. These demonstrate the quantum state transfer and entanglement distribution in such a novel quantum network of magnonic and mechanical nodes. Our work shows the possibility to connect two separate fields of optomagnonics and optomechanics, and to build a long-distance quantum network based on magnonic and mechanical systems.
