Characterising Polariton States in Non-Dispersive Regime of Circuit Quantum Electrodynamics

Abstract

A superconducting qubit coupled to a read-out resonator is currently the building block of multiple quantum computing as well as quantum optics experiments. A typical qubit-resonator system is coupled in the dispersive regime, where the detuning between qubit and resonator is much greater than the coupling between them. In this work, we fabricated and measured a superconducting transmon-resonator system in the non-dispersive regime. The dressed states formed by the mixing of the bare qubit and resonator states can be further mixed by applying a drive on the qubit, leading to the formation of polariton states. We report experimental studies of transitions between polariton states at varying driving powers and frequencies and show how the non-dispersive coupling of the higher levels of the qubit-resonator system modifies the polariton eigenstates and the corresponding transition frequencies. We also report close agreement with numerical results obtained from a driven Jaynes-Cummings Model beyond the dispersive regime.
