Sensing chiral magnetic noise via quantum impurity relaxometry

Abstract: We present a theory for quantum impurity relaxometry of magnons in thin films, exhibiting quantitative agreement with recent experiments without needing arbitrary scale factors used in theoretical models thus far. Our theory reveals that chiral coupling between prototypical spin>1/2 quantum impurities and magnons plays a central role in determining impurity relaxation, which is further corroborated by our experiments on nickel films interfaced with nitrogen-vacancy centers. Along with advancing magnonics and u… Show more

“…21(b). Rustagi et al [400] further addressed the influence of chiral magnetic noise on the qubit relaxation. In particular, the left-moving and right-moving magnons produce unequal magnetic noise and they are respectively coupled to the = 0 → −1 transition (Γ − ) and = 0 → +1 transitions (Γ + ) in an NV center.…”

“…Previous works have developed theoretical underpinnings of probing different regimes of electron transport in metallic systems, as well as magnetic phases and their phase transitions in insulators, using quantum impurity probes [14,33,35]. On the experimental front, noise measurements using NV centers in diamond have very recently been used to detect a plethora of novel quantum phenomena, including non-local conductivity in metallic silver [36], magnetic transitions in metallic Gd [37], chiral magnons [38], spin-diffusion in antiferromagnets [39] and electron-phonon instabilities in graphene [40]. With the discovery of superconductivity in several new 2d materials, the qubit probe appears ideally suited to unravel their properties.…”

“…Hybrid quantum systems composed of NV centers and magnons in ferromagnets have emerged as a potential solution to this challenge [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33], where NV spins are coupled to magnon modes through their dynamical fringe magnetic fields. Taking advantage of virtual-magnon exchange in one-dimensional spin chains [23] or transduction of energy quanta in ferromagnetic discs [28], NV-NV entanglement has been investigated theoretically [23,28], thus stimulating a variety of experiments on the NVmagnon hybrid system [34][35][36][37][38].…”
