Driving-enhanced Qudit-Oscillator Interactions

Classical drives on a qudit have been extensively used to create, control and read out quantum states. We consider a qudit-oscillator system where the qudit is continuously driven. We show that strong driving allows for qudit-conditional operations on the oscillator such as displacement, squeezing and higher order effects. We discuss the case of a driven qubit with linear or quadratic coupling to the oscillator, and we generalize the scheme to multi-qubit and qudit (d>2) systems. We discuss the use of driven qudit-oscillator systems for encoding and performing operations on bosonic codes.
