Parametric interactions in circuit-QED

ORAL

Abstract

The circuit-QED architecture is a versatile platform for implementing quantum optics at microwave frequencies. Incorporating additional nonlinear coupling elements between linear modes in this architecture provides a mechanism to drive parametric interactions. These interactions are a powerful set of tools that can be used to synthesize complex quantum states, generate entanglement and enhance measurement. We will discuss experimental results utilizing parametric interactions to generate and study quantum states in superconducting circuits.
