- Abstract summary: Off-resonant phenomena are rarely considered because of the difficulty to realize strong coupling between physical systems and off-resonant waves.
Here we examine the response of a magnetic system to squeezed light and surprisingly find that the magnons are maximally excited.
Our findings may provide an unconventional route to study off-resonant phenomena and may further benefit the use of hybrid matter-light systems in continuous variable quantum information.

- Abstract: It is widely recognized that a physical system can only respond to a periodic
driving significantly when the driving frequency matches the normal mode
frequency of the system, which leads to resonance. Off-resonant phenomena are
rarely considered because of the difficulty to realize strong coupling between
physical systems and off-resonant waves. Here we examine the response of a
magnetic system to squeezed light and surprisingly find that the magnons are
maximally excited when the effective driving frequency is several orders of
magnitude larger than the resonant frequency. The generated magnons are
squeezed which brings the advantage of tunable squeezing through an external
magnetic field. Furthermore, we demonstrate that such off-resonant
quasi-particle excitation is universal in all the hybrid systems in which the
coherent and parametric interaction of bosons exists and that it is purely a
quantum effect, which is rooted in the quantum fluctuations of particles in the
squeezed vacuum. Our findings may provide an unconventional route to study
off-resonant phenomena and may further benefit the use of hybrid matter-light
systems in continuous variable quantum information.

Floquet (periodic) driving has emerged as a powerful technique for engineering quantum systems.
We report the observation of Floquet prethermalization in a strongly interacting dipolar spin ensemble in diamond.
In contrast to a single-frequency drive, we find that the existence of prethermalization is extremely sensitive to the smoothness of the applied field.
