We theoretically study the bichromatic driving of a solid-state cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) system as a means of probing cavity dressed state transitions and observing the coherent interaction between the system and the light field. We show that this method can enable the observation of the higher order cavity dressed states, supersplitting and ac-Stark shift in a solid-state system co...

Strong interactions between single spins and photons are essential for quantum networks 1 and distributed quantum computation 2. They provide the necessary interface for entanglement distribution 3,4 , non-destructive quantum measurements 5-7 , and strong photon-photon interactions 8-10. Achieving a spin-photon interface in a solid-state device could enable compact chip-integrated quantum circu...

Fuel cells belong to an avant-garde technology family for a wide variety of applications including micro-power, transportation power, stationary power for buildings and other distributed generation applications. The first objective of this contribution is to find a suitable reduced model of a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC). The derived reduced model is then used to design a state estimator. I...

Through three examples we illustrate some of the concepts and ingredients required for pattern formation at mesoscopic scales. Two examples build on microscopic models where mesoscopic patterns emerge from homogeneous ground states driven into instability by external forcing. In contrast, the third example builds on a mesoscopic phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau type model of solid-solid structu...

While Ising-type interactions are ideal for implementing controlled phase flip gates in one-way quantum computing, natural interactions between solid-state qubits are most often described by either the XY or the Heisenberg models. We show an efficient way of generating cluster states directly using either the imaginary SWAP (iSWAP) gate for the XY model, or the sqrt[SWAP] gate for the Heisenber...
