Ultrastrong coupling few-photon scattering theory

arXiv:1701.04709 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.120.153602

Abstract

We study the scattering of photons by a two-level system ultrastrongly coupled to a one-dimensional waveguide. Using a combination of the polaron transformation with scattering theory we can compute the one-photon scattering properties of the qubit for a broad range of coupling strengths, estimating resonance frequencies, lineshapes and linewidths. We validate numerically and analytically the accuracy of this technique up to , close to the Toulouse point , where inelastic scattering becomes relevant. These methods model recent experiments with superconducting circuits [P. Forn-D{\'ı}az et al., Nat. Phys. (2016)].
