Qubit-oscillator dynamics in the dispersive regime: Analytical theory beyond the rotating-wave approximation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We generalize the dispersive theory of the Jaynes-Cummings model beyond the frequently employed rotating-wave approximation RWA in the coupling between the two-level system and the resonator. For a detuning sufficiently larger than the qubit-oscillator coupling, we diagonalize the non-RWA Hamiltonian and discuss the differences to the known RWA results. Our results extend the regime in which dispersive qubit readout is possible. If several qubits are coupled to one resonator, an effective qubit-qubit interaction of Ising type emerges, whereas RWA leads to isotropic XY interaction. This impacts on the entanglement characteristics of the qubits.

Dissipative Dynamics of a Qubit Coupled to a Nonlinear Oscillator
We consider the dissipative dynamics of a qubit coupled to a nonlinear oscillator (NO) embedded in an Ohmic environment. By treating the nonlinearity up to first order and applying Van Vleck perturbation theory up to second order in the qubit-NO coupling, we derive an analytical expression for the eigenstates and eigenfunctions of the coupled qubit-NO system beyond the rotating wave approximati...
متن کاملDispersive Charge and Flux Qubit Readout as a Quantum Measurement Process
We analyze the dispersive readout of superconducting charge and flux qubits as a quantum measurement process. The measurement oscillator frequency is considered much lower than the qubit frequency. This regime is interesting because large detuning allows for strong coupling between the measurement oscillator and the signal transmission line, thus allowing for fast readout. Due to the large detu...
متن کاملDeep strong coupling regime of the Jaynes-Cummings model.
We study the quantum dynamics of a two-level system interacting with a quantized harmonic oscillator in the deep strong coupling regime (DSC) of the Jaynes-Cummings model, that is, when the coupling strength g is comparable or larger than the oscillator frequency ω (g/ω≳1). In this case, the rotating-wave approximation cannot be applied or treated perturbatively in general. We propose an intuit...
متن کاملObservation of the Bloch-Siegert shift in a qubit-oscillator system in the ultrastrong coupling regime.
We measure the dispersive energy-level shift of an LC resonator magnetically coupled to a superconducting qubit, which clearly shows that our system operates in the ultrastrong coupling regime. The large mutual kinetic inductance provides a coupling energy of ≈ 0.82 GHz, requiring the addition of counter-rotating-wave terms in the description of the Jaynes-Cummings model. We find a 50 MHz Bloch...
متن کاملSuperconducting phase qubit coupled to a nanomechanical resonator: Beyond the rotating-wave approximation
We consider a simple model of a Josephson junction phase qubit coupled to a solid-state nanoelectromechanical resonator. This and many related qubit-resonator models are analogous to an atom in an electromagnetic cavity. When the systems are weakly coupled and nearly resonant, the dynamics is accurately described by the rotating-wave approximation (RWA) or the Jaynes-Cummings model of quantum o...
