Double resonance response of a superconducting quantum metamaterial: manifestation of non-classical states of photons (1606.09078v1)

Published 29 Jun 2016 in cond-mat.supr-con and quant-ph

Abstract: We report a theoretical study of ac response of superconducting quantum metamaterials (SQMs), i.e. an array of qubits (two-levels system) embedded in the low-dissipative resonator. By making use of a particular example of SQM, namely the array of charge qubits capacitively coupled to the resonator, we obtain a second-order phase transition between an incoherent (the high-temperature phase) and coherent (the low-temperatures phase) states of photons. This phase transition in many aspects resembles the paramagnetic-ferromagnetic phase transition. The critical temperature of the phase transition, $T\star$, is determined by the energy splitting of two-level systems $\delta$, number of qubits in the array $N$, and the strength of the interaction $\eta$ between qubits and photons in the cavity. We obtain that the photon states manifest themselves by resonant drops in the frequency dependent transmission $D(\omega)$ of electromagnetic waves propagating through a transmission line weakly coupled to the SQM. At high temperatures the $D(\omega)$ displays a single resonant drop, and at low temperatures a peculiar \emph{double resonance response} has to be observed. The physical origin of such a resonant splitting is the quantum oscillations between two coherent states of photons of different polarizations.
