Abstract

Cavity magnomechanics, exhibiting remarkable experimental tunability, rich magnonic nonlinearities, and compatibility with various quantum systems, has witnessed considerable advances in recent years. However, the potential benefits of using cavity magnomechanical (CMM) systems in further improving the performance of quantum-enhanced sensing for weak forces remain largely unexplored. Here we show that, by squeezing the magnons, the performance of a quantum CMM sensor can be significantly enhanced beyond the standard quantum limit (SQL). We find that, for comparable parameters, two orders of magnitude enhancement in the force sensitivity can be achieved in comparison with the case without magnon squeezing. Moreover, we obtain the optimal parameter regimes of homodyne angle for minimizing the added quantum noise. Our findings provide a promising approach for highly tunable and compatible quantum force sensing using hybrid CMM devices, with potential applications ranging from quantum precision measurements to quantum information processing.
