We investigate the correlations of magnons inside a nanomagnet and identify a regime of parameters where the magnons become antibunched, i.e., where there is a large probability for occupation of the single-magnon state. This antibunched state is very different from magnons at thermal equilibrium and microwave-driven coherent magnons. We further obtain the steady state analytically and describe the magnon dynamics numerically, and ascertain the stability of such antibunched magnons over a large window of magnetic anisotropy, damping and temperature. This means that the antibunched magnon state is feasible in a wide class of low-damping magnetic nanoparticles. To detect this quantum effect, we propose to transfer the quantum information of magnons to photons by magnon-photon coupling and then measure the correlations of photons to retrieve the magnon correlations. Our findings may provide a promising platform to study quantum-classical transitions and for designing a single magnon source.

We present a complete theory of the spin torque phenomena in a ultrasmall nanomagnet coupled to non-collinear ferromagnetic electrodes through tunnelling junctions. This model system can be described by a simple microscopic model which captures many physical effects characteristic of spintronics: tunneling magneto resistance, intrinsic and transport induced magnetic relaxation, current induced magnetization reversal and spin accumulation. Treating on the same footing the magnetic and transport degrees of freedom, we arrive at a closed equation for the time evolution of the magnetization. This equation is very close to the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation used in spin valves structures. We discuss how the presence of the Coulomb blockade phenomena and the discretization of the one-body spectrum gives some additional features to the current induced spin torque. Depending on the regime, the dynamic induced by the coupling to electrode can be viewed either as a spin torque or as a relaxation process. In addition to the possibility of stabilizing uniform spin precession states, we find that the system is highly hysteretic: up to three different magnetic states can be simultaneously stable in one region of the parameter space (magnetic field and bias voltage).We also discuss how the magneto-resistance can be used to provide additional information on the non-equilibrium peaks present in the nanomagnet spectroscopy experiments.
Epitaxial quantum dots have emerged as one of the best single-photon sources, not only for applications in photonic quantum technologies but also for testing fundamental properties of quantum optics. One intriguing observation in this area is the sca ttering of photons with subnatural linewidth from a two-level system under resonant continuous wave excitation. In particular, an open question is whether these subnatural linewidth photons exhibit simultaneously antibunching as an evidence of single-photon emission. Here, we demonstrate that this simultaneous observation of subnatural linewidth and antibunching is not possible with simple resonant excitation. First, we independently confirm single-photon character and subnatural linewidth by demonstrating antibunching in a Hanbury Brown and Twiss type setup and using high-resolution spectroscopy, respectively. However, when filtering the coherently scattered photons with filter bandwidths on the order of the homogeneous linewidth of the excited state of the two-level system, the antibunching dip vanishes in the correlation measurement. Our experimental work is consistent with recent theoretical findings, that explain antibunching from photon-interferences between the coherent scattering and a weak incoherent signal in a skewed squeezed state.
We study spin tunneling in a magnetic nanoparticle with biaxial anisotropy that is free to rotate about its anisotropy axis. Exact instanton of the coupled equations of motion is found that connects degenerate classical energy minima. We show that me chanical freedom of the particle renormalizes magnetic anisotropy and increases the tunnel splitting.
We present theoretical studies of the intrinsic spin orbit torque (SOT) in a single domain ferromagnetic layer with Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC) using the non-equilibrium Greens function formalism for a model Hamiltonian. We find that, to the fir st order in SOC, the intrinsic SOT has only the field-like torque symmetry and can be interpreted as the longitudinal spin current induced by the charge current and Rashba field. We analyze the results in terms of the material related parameters of the electronic structure, such as band filling, band width, exchange splitting, as well as the Rashba SOC strength. On the basis of these numerical and analytical results, we discuss the magnitude and sign of SOT. Our results show that the different sign of SOT in identical ferromagnetic layers with different supporting layers, e.g. Co/Pt and Co/Ta, could be attributed to electrostatic doping of the ferromagnetic layer by the support.
Nonlinear magnetization dynamics excited by spin-transfer effect with feedback current is studied both numerically and analytically. The numerical simulation of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation indicates the positive Lyapunov exponent for a certa in range of the feedback rate, which identifies the existence of chaos in a nanostructured ferromagnet. Transient behavior from chaotic to steady oscillation is also observed in another range of the feedback parameter. An analytical theory is also developed, which indicates the appearance of multiple attractors in a phase space due to the feedback current. An instantaneous imbalance between the spin-transfer torque and damping torque causes a transition between the attractors, and results in the complex dynamics.
