Abstract
Strong coupling between light and matter occurs when the two interact such that new hybrid modes, the so-called polaritons, are formed. Here, we report on the strong coupling of both the electric and the magnetic degrees of freedom to an ultrafast terahertz (THz) frequency electromagnetic wave. In our system, optical phonons in a slab of ferroelectric lithium niobate are strongly coupled to a THz electric field to form phonon-polaritons, which are simultaneously strongly coupled to magnons in an adjacent slab of canted antiferromagnetic erbium orthoferrite via the magnetic-field component of the same THz pulse. We juxtapose experimental results of bare slabs consisting of the two materials with a photonic crystal cavity, consisting of a two-dimensional array of air holes cut into the hybrid slab. In both cases, the strong coupling leads to the formation of new magnon-phonon-polariton modes, which we experimentally observe in the time domain as a normal-mode beating and which corresponds in the frequency domain to an avoided crossing. Our simple yet versatile waveguide platform provides a promising avenue through which to explore ultrafast THz spintronics, quantum electrodynamics, sensing, and spectroscopic applications.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
