• Abstract: The quantum superpositions of coherent states offer an alternative to the conventional qubit-based encodings by harnessing the large Hilbert space available in bosonic modes, including those realised in microwave and optical cavities, magnons, and mechanical resonators. Beyond their advantages for local information processing, establishing long-distance quantum networks for such bosonic states is crucial for scalable quantum communication and distributed quantum computation. In this work, we propose an entanglement-swapping-based protocol to generate a bipartite magnonic cat state shared between spatially separated subsystems. Each subsystem comprises a hybrid architecture consisting of a superconducting transmon qubit coupled to a yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere that supports magnon modes. By performing a projective Bell-state measurement on the qubits, the initially established magnon-qubit entanglement is coherently transferred to the remote magnon modes, resulting in a nonlocal magnonic cat state. For experimental characterisation of the gener- ated states, we perform quantum state tomography through reconstruction of the Wigner function using joint displaced parity measurements of the magnon modes. Our scheme provides a feasible route towards realising long-distance magnonic entanglement and contributes to the advancement of hybrid quantum network architectures.
