Magnon-based hybrid quantum systems are promising candidates for quantum interconnects and quantum sensors, and they offer a rich platform for exploring nonlinear magnonics and cavity-photon interactions. Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals magnets provide a compact, atomically flat geometry that can be easily integrated into existing quantum circuits, such as superconducting resonators and qubits. Among various 2D magnets, the magnetic semiconductor CrSBr is particularly unique due to its strong spin-exciton, spin-lattice, and magnon-exciton interactions. In this work, we demonstrate coherent coupling between antiferromagnetic (AFM) magnons in CrSBr and microwave photons in a niobium-(Nb)-based-on-chip resonator. We tuned the magnon-photon coupling strength by changing the number of CrSBr flakes integrated into the Nb microwave photon resonators. This work demonstrates the first step toward integrating layered van der Waals 2D magnets into superconducting microwave circuits, with full access for microwave and optical probing.

Consider the electromagnetic wave passing through a dielectric medium. In such a case, Maxwell's equations get modified. In Ampere's law, ε0 , the dielectric permittivity of free space is replaced with ε, the permittivity of dielectric. Also, the vacuum permeability μ0 is replaced by the permeability of the...
