Abstract:
Recent cavity-magnon-polariton spectroscopy of the quantum Ising magnet LiHoFrepresents a remarkable experimental achievement, providing high-fidelity baseline spectra of electro-nuclear spin transitions. However, the interpretation of these results using a standard single-ion mean-field theory predictably falls short in describing many-body dynamic correlations, leaving several pronounced anomalies unexplained: double peaks of dissipation near the quantum critical point, bell-shaped transition linewidths, and the collectivization of discrete transitions below the critical field. In this paper, we formulate a theoretical framework based on the low-temperature spin kinetics framework. By incorporating a chemical potential for electro-nuclear excitations () and deriving the dynamic susceptibility via the non-equilibrium statistical operator method, we provide a unified analytical resolution for these anomalies, offering a complete thermodynamic description of the strongly hybridized spin dynamics.
