The capability of magnons to hybridize and strongly couple with diverse excitations offers a promising avenue for realizing and controlling emergent properties that hold significant potential for applications in devices, circuits, and information processing. In this talk, we present recent theoretical developments in magnon-based hybrid systems, focusing on the combination of magnon excitation in an antiferromagnet with other excitations, namely plasmons in a topological insulator, phonons in a 2D AFM. We explore several directions to advance magnon hybrid systems, including strong coupling between a surface plasmon and magnon polariton in a TI/AFM bilayer and a giant spin Nernst effect induced by magnon phonon coupling in 2D AFMs. These examples highlight the potential of magnon-based hybrid systems for advancing device and information processing technologies and the importance of both understanding and controlling material properties and interactions to realize such technologies.
