• Abstract: Quantum technologies require platforms that can coherently interface qubits with bosonic excitations. Photons have traditionally played this role in cavity quantum electrodynamics, but achieving the same goal using solid-state bosons remains challenging. Here we demonstrate strong and tunable spin-magnon coupling between molecular spin qubits and magnons in a van der Waals antiferromagnetic insulator. Using [Gd(W$_5$O$_{18}$)$_{2}$]$^{9-}$ as the spin ensemble and CrSBr as the magnonic resonator, we observe anticrossings and coherent hybridization, realizing magnon quantum electrodynamics for the first time. Crucially, by rotating the magnetic field, we can dynamically change the magnon symmetry from linear to chiral, enabling in-situ tuning of the coupling strength. Our results establish magnonic cavities as a platform for scalable chiral quantum optics with magnetic materials.

  A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.
