Multipexed Photon Number Measurement

ORAL

Abstract

A single superconducting qubit can reveal the number of photons in a dispersively coupled resonator through a continuous measurement. The trick consists in using many frequency modes of a transmission line to encode the occupancy of each Fock state [1,2]. The qubit thus provides a multiplexed quantum measurement of the photon number. In this talk, I will report on our progress on performing this measurement in a single shot manner using state-of-the-art microwave engineering techniques.
