Lin Tian: Novel quantum coherence effects and nonlinear behavior in superconducting resonators

Lin Tian, University of California, Merced

Abstract

Recent experiments on superconducting resonators have demonstrated long coherence times and strong coupling with superconducting qubits in the microwave photon modes in such systems. The superconducting resonators can hence act both as a powerful platform for investigating novel quantum coherence and nonlinear effects and as a promising candidate for realizing quantum information schemes involving the microwave photons. Here, I'll discuss our recent results on (1) novel phase transition and nonlinear behavior, (2) generation of entangled photon pairs, and (3) four-wave mixing quantum toolbox for the superconducting resonators.
