“…As is well known, strong interaction in open space at the level of a single atom and a few photons can be created by coupling an artificial atom to photon modes. Superconducting artificial atoms are used extensively to reproduce typical quantum optics phenomena such as CPT [26], electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) [27][28][29], Aulter-Townes splitting [30,31], multi-wave mixing (MWM) [32,33], the quantum Zeno effect [34,35], giant Kerr nonlinearities [36,37] and so on. Most recently, the resonance fluorescence spectrum (RFS) from a superconducting macroscopic two-level system was reported [38].…”

We investigate the dynamics of the microwave-frequency nonclassical correlations in a three-level -configuration artificial atom, which is realized by superconducting quantum circuits. The intensity–intensity correlation and intensity field are strongly dependent on the relative phase of the driven fields. It is found that two interference loops are formed in the dressed state picture at or π, which are responsible for the generation of nonclassical microwave photons. When the phase is changed into or , the temporal correlation functions exhibit different oscillating behaviors. The phase-sensitive nonclassical correlations of fluorescence photons may find practical application in the design of all-optical switches and quantum information processing.

“…For instance, superconducting fluxonium qubit can have a cyclic -type threelevel structure, which is beyond selection rules under the electric-dipole approximation and has been demonstrated in experiment. The absence of selection rules is an important mechanism for many interesting quantum physical phenomena [16][17][18][19]. For example, the absence of selection rules explains the surprisingly large dispersive shifts observed in fluxonium experiments and leads to the prediction of a two-photon vacuum Rabi splitting [20].…”

We demonstrate the controllable nonlinear microwave modulation in a cyclically driven three-level superconducting Josephson system. By designing two subtle matched conditions in the △-type atom-field configuration, a new physical mechanism – combined action of nonlinear wave mixing and wave interference – is developed and leads to not only amplification but also attenuation for two microwave signals. Our results show that such a nonlinear manipulation of the signal transition from enhancement to damping can be tuned in a large scope by controlling the relative phase and the driving-field frequency and thus the solid-state Josephson system can act as a phase- and frequency-controlled amplitude modulator. Our study opens up a fascinating perspective for its widespread applications in nonlinear optics and quantum information science.

Tunable magnon antibunching via degenerate three-wave mixing in a hybrid ferromagnet–superconductor system

We propose a scheme for achieving magnon antibunching in a hybrid ferromagnet–superconductor system, where the magnons excited in two yttrium iron garnet (YIG) spheres couple the different levels of a cyclic three-level superconducting qubit by eliminating two perpendicular microwave cavity modes. With the aid of the three-level system, we find that the magnon antibunching can be achieved in a weak coupling regime via the degenerate three-wave mixing process. Moreover, it is found that the magnon antibunching inside a YIG2 sphere can be effectively regulated by manipulating the YIG1 sphere, for instance, the coupling strength of the YIG1 sphere and qubit and the driving strengths of the system. This work provides an alternative scheme for constructing the single magnon source based on the ferromagnet–superconductor technology and is conducive to studying the quantum properties of magnons.
