We have performed spectroscopic measurements of a superconducting qubit dispersively coupled to a nonlinear resonator driven by a pump microwave field. Measurements of the qubit frequency shift provide a sensitive probe of the intracavity... more

In dispersive readout schemes, qubit-induced nonlinearity typically limits the measurement fidelity by reducing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) when the measurement power is increased. Contrary to seeing the nonlinearity as a problem,... more

Two-level systems (TLS) and harmonic oscillators are the two simplest systems that can be described exactly with quantum mechanics. Consequently, many physical systems are described at least approximately by either of these two building... more

One of the most studied model systems in quantum optics is a two-level atom strongly coupled to a single mode of the electromagnetic field stored in a cavity, a research field named cavity quantum electrodynamics or CQED (Haroche and... more

Despite twenty years of research, the phase diagram of high-temperature superconductors remains enigmatic 1 , 2 . A central question is: what makes the physical properties of these copper oxides so dramatically different on opposite sides... more

Quantum oscillations have revealed the presence of a small pocket in the Fermi surface of the cuprate superconductor YBa 2 Cu 3 O y (ref. 1), whose nature and origin are the subject of much debate 2 . Interpretations include electron 3,4... more

We show that the gauge character of interactions, which naturally appears in strongly correlated electron systems in the absence of long-range magnetic order, results in a linear T dependence of the resistivity.
