Abstract

A qubit system coupled to a resonator may be treated as a quantum metamaterial. Quantum nature of such a system results in large variety of non-trivial effects. In particular, we study a parametrically driven system of qubits coupled to a single-mode resonator and show that the energy dissipation in the resonator can enhance population of the excited state of the qubits and generate the entanglement between qubits. The energy dissipation in the qubit subsystem can enhance the number of photons generated from vacuum. We demonstrate that these effects survive in the steady state as well. The optimal parameters for these two cases of dissipation-induced quantum effects amplification are shown to be results of fine balance of different processes in this hybrid system.

Parametrically driven hybrid qubit-photon systems: Dissipation-induced quantum entanglement and photon production from vacuum

S. V. Remizov, Andrei A. Zhukov, D. S. Shapiro +2 more

We consider a dissipative evolution of a parametrically driven qubit-cavity system under the periodic modulation of coupling energy between two subsystems, which leads to the amplification of counter-rotating processes. We reveal a very rich dynamical behavior of this hybrid system. In particular, we find that the energy dissipation in one of the subsystems can enhance quantum effects in another subsystem. For instance, optimal cavity decay assists the stabilization of entanglement and quantum correlations between qubits even in the steady state and the compensation of finite qubit relaxation. On the contrary, energy dissipation in qubit subsystems results in enhanced photon production from vacuum for strong modulation but destroys both quantum concurrence and quantum mutual information between qubits. Our results provide deeper insights to nonstationary cavity quantum electrodynamics in the context of quantum information processing and might be of importance for dissipative quantum state engineering.

Superconducting Qubit Systems as a Platform for Studying Effects of Nonstationary Electrodynamics in a Cavity

Andrei A. Zhukov, S. V. Remizov, W. V. Pogosov +2 more

It has been shown that superconducting qubit systems, having high tunability, can be used as a platform for the experimental study of various effects of nonstationary quantum electrodynamics in a cavity. In particular, the dynamic Lamb effect can be implemented owing to a nonadiabatic change in the effective coupling between the subsystem of qubits and a cavity. This effect is manifested in the excitation of a qubit (atom) at the change in the Lamb shift of its levels. It is remarkable that the effect of energy dissipation in such parametrically excited systems can be very nontrivial: dissipation in one of the subsystems of the hybrid system can enhance quantum effects in the other subsystem. This refers to various phenomena such as parametric qubit excitation, generation of photons from vacuum, and creation and confinement of finite entanglement of qubits.

Dynamical Lamb effect versus dissipation in superconducting quantum circuits

Andrei A. Zhukov, D. S. Shapiro, W. V. Pogosov +1 more

Superconducting circuits provide a new platform for study of nonstationary cavity QED phenomena. An example of such a phenomenon is the dynamical Lamb effect, which is the parametric excitation of an atom due to nonadiabatic modulation of its Lamb shift. This effect was initially introduced for a natural atom in a varying cavity, while we suggest its realization in a superconducting qubit-cavity system with dynamically tunable coupling. In the present paper, we study the interplay between the dynamical Lamb effect and the energy dissipation, which is unavoidable in realistic systems. We find that despite naive expectations, this interplay can lead to unexpected dynamical regimes. One of the most striking results is that photon generation from vacuum can be strongly enhanced due to qubit relaxation, which opens another channel for such a process. We also show that dissipation in the cavity can increase the qubit excited-state population. Our results can be used for experimental observation and investigation of the dynamical Lamb effect and accompanying quantum effects.

Entanglement in a driven two-qubit system coupled to common cavity

Amit Dey

A system, comprised of a qubit pair coupled to a common cavity, is studied with the aim of establishing qubit entanglement. This study is the sequel of the paper Phys. Rev. A 111, 043705 (2025), where similar model was investigated for an initially vacuum cavity. In the present manuscript the cavity with finite initial occupancy is considered and the effect of asymmetric qubit cavity couplings is investigated. For a closed system scenario, the ratio of the qubit-cavity couplings shows a threshold beyond which no maximally-entangled qubit state is available. The threshold value is shown to depend on the excitation level of the cavity. For a driven-dissipative case steady state entanglement is shown to depend non-monotonically on the qubit drive. Intricate interplay of drive, dissipation, and coupling asymmetry is shown to be pivotal for steady-state entanglement generation.

Dissipative entanglement generation between two qubits parametrically driven and coupled to a resonator

Sebastián Luciano Gallardo, Daniel Domı́nguez, María José Sánchez

An entangled-state generation protocol for a system of two qubits driven with an ac signal and coupled through a resonator is introduced. We explain the mechanism of entanglement generation in terms of an interplay between unitary Landau-Zener-St\"uckelberg (LZS) transitions, induced for appropriate frequencies and strong amplitudes of the applied ac signal and dissipative processes dominated by photon loss. In this way, we find that the steady state of the system can be tuned to be arbitrarily close to a Bell state, which is stable against photon loss. Effective two-qubit Hamiltonians that reproduce the resonance patterns associated with LZS transitions are derived.

Dynamics and enhancement of nonlinear coupling via squeezing a cavity mode

Yang Gu, Zhong-Ju Liu, Tong-Rui Cui +3 more

Abstract We propose a scheme to enhance nonlinear coupling between a two-mode optical cavity via parametric squeezing. Employing a two-mode squeezed vacuum state, we derive an effective Hamiltonian that reveals enhancement of nonlinear coupling. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the enhanced squeezing will cause the oscillation between the two-mode photon numbers of the system. The dissipation of the system is also considered, that the dissipation has a positive effect on the preparation of steady state via parametric squeezing. The result in our investigation could provide an effective simulation platform for the realization of quantum information process.
