Squeezed light finds many important applications in quantum information science and quantum metrology, and has been produced in a variety of physical systems involving optical non-linear processes. Here, we show how a non-linear magnetostrictive interaction in a ferrimagnet in cavity magnomechanics can be used to reduce quantum noise of the electromagnetic field. We show optimal parameter regimes where a substantial and stationary squeezing of the microwave output field can be achieved. Realization of the scheme is within reach of current technology in cavity electromagnonics and magnomechanics. Our work provides a new and practicable approach for producing squeezed vacuum states of electromagnetic fields, and may find promising applications in quantum information processing and quantum metrology.
Keywords: cavity magnonics; magnomechanics; squeezing of quantum noise.
