OutlineWhat do you do when your qubit

frequency is too close to your cavity? “Quantum art”

• Response of a coupled qubit-cavity system to a strong drive at finite temperature– Singly dressed - qubit + cavity– Doubly dressed system –

• qubit+cavity+ drive• two photon processes

– Triply dressed• three photon processes

“2½D” - Transmon coupled to microstrip cavity• Standard large-pad transmon,

GHz• Measured with microstrip cavity

– Measured at 20 mK– Radiation decay suppressed due to

proximity of ground plane• T1 2 - 10 s

– Coupling strength MHz– = 6.525 Ghz

• – Lifetime strongly Purcell limited– In resonant regime (not dispersive)

• Use low power probe tone to measure the system

• Add high power drive (i.e. pump) for susceptibilty
