Phase-switchable nonreciprocal entanglement via magnon squeezing in ring-cavity optomagnomechanics

Cavity optomagnomechanics provides a versatile platform to explore macroscopic quantum correlations, particularly nonreciprocal entanglement. In this work, we propose a theoretical scheme to generate switchable bipartite and tripartite entanglement in an optomagnomechanical ring cavity by exploiting phase-controlled magnon squeezing. Indeed, two spatially separated ferrimagnetic YIG microbridges become entangled through their magnetostriction-mediated coupling to mechanical motion and a common cavity field via radiation-pressure interaction. The squeezing process introduces two phase-dependent contributions to the magnon response, namely an effective detuning shift $Δ_{θ_j}$ and a quadrature-damping contribution $κ_{θ_j}$, both of which reverse sign upon a $π$ phase shift, providing an in situ control to switch the entanglement response. The nonreciprocal entanglement is defined operationally through the asymmetric entanglement response under the phase reversal $θ_j \to θ_j + π$, quantified by normalized contrast ratios $C_E$ and $C_{\mathcal{R}}$, which measure the relative difference between the entanglement obtained at $θ_j$ and at the phase-reversed configuration $θ_j+π$. The resulting phase-tuning method provides a flexible and robust route to achieve high-contrast bipartite and tripartite entanglement within stable parameter regions, establishing magnon squeezing as a practical quantum resource for switchable quantum correlations in hybrid platforms.
