The role of lattice dynamics in unconventional high-temperature superconductivity is still vigorously debated. Theoretical insights into this problem have long been prevented by the absence of an accurate first-principles description of the combined electronic, magnetic, and lattice degrees of freedom. Utilizing the recently constructed r2SCAN density functional that stabilizes the antiferromagnetic (AFM) state of the pristine oxide YBa2⁢Cu3⁢O6, we faithfully reproduce the experimental dispersion of key phonon modes. Here we further find significant magnetoelastic coupling in numerous high-energy Cu-O bond stretching optical branches, where the AFM results improve over the soft nonmagnetic phonon bands.
