超导量子超材料的双共振响应:光子非经典态的表现

Double resonance response of a superconducting quantum metamaterial: manifestation of non-classical states of photons

摘要:

本文对超导量子超材料(SQM)的交流响应进行了理论研究,SQM是一种嵌入低耗散谐振腔中的量子比特阵列(二能级系统)。通过利用SQM的一个特殊例子,即电荷量子比特阵列电容耦合到谐振器,我们获得了光子的非相干态(高温相)和相干态(低温相)之间的二阶相变。这种相变在许多方面类似于顺磁-铁磁相变。相变的临界温度$T^\star$由二能级系统$δ$的能量分裂、阵列$N$中的量子位数以及腔中量子位与光子之间的相互作用$η$的强度确定。我们得到的光子态表现为共振下降的频率依赖的传输$D(ω)$的电磁波传播通过传输线弱耦合到SQM。在高温下,$D(ω)$显示出单一的共振下降,在低温下,必须观察到特殊的\emph{double resonance response}。这种共振分裂的物理起源是两个不同偏振光子相干态之间的量子振荡。

英文摘要:

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 $δ$, number of qubits in the array $N$, and the strength of the interaction $η$ between qubits and photons in the cavity. We obtain that the photon states manifest themselves by resonant drops in the frequency dependent transmission $D(ω)$ of electromagnetic waves propagating through a transmission line weakly coupled to the SQM. At high temperatures the $D(ω)$ 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.
