Abstract

This paper investigates the cavity-magnon steering and qubit-qubit steering of a hybrid quantum system consisting of a single-mode magnon, a two-qubit state, and a single-mode cavity field in the presence of their damping rates. The temporal wave vector of the system is obtained for the initial maximally entangled two-qubit state and initial vacuum state of the magnon and cavity modes. Additionally, the mathematical inequalities for obtaining the cavity-magnon steering and qubit-qubit steering are introduced. The findings reveal that steering between the magnon and cavity is asymmetric, while steering between the two qubits is symmetric in our system. Increasing the atom-field coupling improves steering from magnon to field, while reducing steering between the two qubits. Moreover, increasing magnon-field coupling enhances and elevates the lower bounds of qubit-qubit steering. Further, adding the damping rates causes deterioration of the cavity-magnon steering and qubit-qubit steering. However, the steering persistence is slightly greater when damping originates from the cavity field rather than the magnon modes based on the coupling parameters.
