Dynamics of a SQUID ratchet coupled to a nanomechanical resonator

rf-SQUID-mediated coherent tunable coupling between a superconducting phase qubit and a lumped-element resonator.

We demonstrate coherent tunable coupling between a superconducting phase qubit and a lumped-element resonator. The coupling strength is mediated by a flux-biased rf SQUID operated in the nonhysteretic regime. By tuning the applied flux bias to the rf SQUID we change the effective mutual inductance, and thus the coupling energy, between the phase qubit and resonator. We verify the modulation of ...

Dynamic strain-mediated coupling of a single diamond spin to a mechanical resonator

The development of hybrid quantum systems is central to the advancement of emerging quantum technologies, including quantum information science and quantum-assisted sensing. The recent demonstration of high-quality single-crystal diamond resonators has led to significant interest in a hybrid system consisting of nitrogen-vacancy centre spins that interact with the resonant phonon modes of a mac...

Adjustable SQUID-resonator direct coupling in microwave SQUID multiplexer for TES microcalorimeter array

We have succeeded in the first demonstration of a simple and accurate resonator-superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) coupling for microwave SQUID multiplexers. A simple theory shows our direct coupling with adjustable fractional inductance in the SQUID loop can decrease the deviation of resonance frequencies from designed values in contrast to a conventional inductive coupling. O...

Strong coupling of a spin ensemble to a superconducting resonator.

We report the realization of a quantum circuit in which an ensemble of electronic spins is coupled to a frequency tunable superconducting resonator. The spins are nitrogen-vacancy centers in a diamond crystal. The achievement of strong coupling is manifested by the appearance of a vacuum Rabi splitting in the transmission spectrum of the resonator when its frequency is tuned through the nitroge...
