Diode Effect in Nonlinear High-Kinetic-Inductance Transmission Line Resonators
Niklas Gaiser, Ciprian Padurariu, Björn Kubala +2
High-kinetic-inductance (HKI) transmission lines provide a promising platform for compact nonlinear superconducting microwave devices. Existing theoretical descriptions are typical…
Stroboscopic detection of itinerant microwave photons
Hanna Zeller, Lukas Danner, Max Hofheinz +4
We present a novel scheme to detect itinerant microwave radiation at the single photon level. Using existing Josephson-photonics devices, where two microwave cavities are coupled b…
Dressed-State Optomechanics in the Few-Photon Regime
Surangana Sengupta, Björn Kubala, Joachim Ankerhold +1
Efficient optomechanical cooling typically requires high photon occupancy to maximize cooling power, a constraint that generally limits the degree of coherent quantum control avail…
Signatures of Dynes superconductivity in the THz response of ALD-grown NbN thin films
Frederik Bolle, Yayi Lin, Ozan Saritas +6
The frequency-dependent complex optical conductivity reflects key properties of superconductors, such as the energy gap in the density of states (DOS) and the superfluid density. F…
Optomechanical Cooling without Residual Heating
Surangana Sengupta, Björn Kubala, Joachim Ankerhold +1
Resolved-sideband cooling is a standard technique in cavity optomechanics enabling quantum control of mechanical motion, but its performance is ultimately limited by quantum backac…
Fast initialization of Bell states with Schrödinger cats in multi-mode systems
Miriam Resch, Ciprian Padurariu, Björn Kubala +1
Schrödinger cat states play an important role for applications in continuous variable quantum information technologies. As macroscopic superpositions they are inherently protected…
