Electromagnonics is an emerging field with a focus on entangling magnonic excitations to the microwave cavity photon modes with the prospect for use in quantum information science. Here, we discuss a class of Hamiltonians that embody a substantial steady-state photon-magnon entanglement enabled by a chiral coupling of the magnonic system to the cavity electric field. It is demonstrated how the entanglement can be controlled via external parameters. As a realization, we study a layered system that hosts an interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction whose strength varies linearly with the cavity electric field rendering the low-energy spin excitations susceptible to an electric field and resulting in nonlinear magnon-photon dynamics. Accounting for interactions with the environment, we derive from the stochastic quantum Langevin equations explicit expressions evidencing the existence of a finite, steady-state entanglement and detailing its dependencies on external probes. The results point to particular types of electromagnonic systems that are potentially useful for quantum information applications.
