Nonreciprocal quantum correlations via Barnett effect in molecular optomagnonics

Cavity optomagnonic platforms offer a promising route for exploring quantum phenomena, particularly quantum correlations, which are vital resources for modern quantum technologies. Here, we propose a theoretical scheme for achieving nonreciprocal quantum correlations such as entanglement, quantum discord, and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) via Barnett effect in a molecular-optomagnonical system, where a yttrium iron garnet sphere is placed in a microwave cavity that is hosting molecules. We show optimal parameter regimes for achieving nonreciprocal quantum correlations through Barnett effect. The generated entanglements are robust against thermal fluctuations, persisting even at temperatures as high as 6000 K. Our scheme suggests a new tool for engineering noise-tolerant quantum correlations, and paves a way toward realizing novel nonreciprocal quantum devices by integrating magnons with molecular ensembles.
