Using a magnon spin-wave resonance of a submillimeter-sized Yttrium-Iron- Garnet sphere at millikelvin temperatures and a four-post cavity, we demonstrate the ultra-strong coupling regime between discrete Whispering Gallery Modes and a magnon resonance with strength of 1.84 GHz. By increasing the number of posts to eight and arranging them in a D4 symmetry pattern, we expand the mode structure to that of a discrete Fabry-Perot cavity and show control of the Free Spectral Range (FSR). We reach the superstrong coupling regime, where spin-photon coupling strength is larger than FSR, with coupling strength in the 1.1 to 1.5 GHz range.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-08-20T12:45:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "microwave cavity", "superstrong coupling", "yig magnons", "discrete whispering gallery", "multimode microwave quantum electrodynamics experiments" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
