Experimental Realization of Synthetic Magnonic Lattice via Floquet Engineering
Abstract
Magnonic systems, which exploit spin-wave excitations in magnetic materials, offer a promising platform for coherent information processing due to their low dissipation, strong nonlinearities, and intrinsic nonreciprocity. However, scaling magnonic circuits remains challenging, particularly with low-loss insulators such as yttrium iron garnet (YIG), which are difficult to pattern. Here, we experimentally realize a synthetic dimension in a magnonic system by coupling multimode magnon resonances in the frequency domain using time-periodic Floquet modulation. This approach enables electronically tunable interactions between discrete modes within a single YIG device, forming a reconfigurable mode-space lattice that supports functionalities such as Bloch oscillation. Our results demonstrate that high-dimensional magnonic dynamics can be achieved without increasing device footprint, establishing synthetic dimensions as a scalable and programmable route for integrated magnonic technologies. This advancement positions magnonic systems as promising platforms for engineering emergent phenomena that are inaccessible at equilibrium.
