Abstract

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 Δθj\Delta_{\theta_j} and a quadrature-damping contribution κθj\kappa_{\theta_j}, both of which reverse sign upon a π\pi 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 θjθj+π\theta_j \to \theta_j + \pi, quantified by normalized contrast ratios CEC_E and CRC_{\mathcal{R}}, which measure the relative difference between the entanglement obtained at θj\theta_j and at the phase-reversed configuration θj+π\theta_j+\pi. 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.
