• Abstract: We propose to periodically modulate the onsite energy via two-tone drives, which can be furthermore used to engineer artificial gauge potential. As an example, we show that the fermionic ladder model penetrated with effective magnetic flux can be constructed by superconducting flux qubits using such two-tone-drive-engineered artificial gauge potential. In this superconducting system, the single-particle ground state can range from vortex phase to Meissner phase due to the competition between the interleg coupling strength and the effective magnetic flux. We also present the method to experimentally measure the chiral currents by the single-particle Rabi oscillations between adjacent qubits. In contrast to previous methods of generating artifical gauge potential, our proposal does not need the aid of auxiliary couplers and in principle remains valid only if the qubit circuit maintains enough anharmonicity. The fermionic ladder model with effective magnetic flux can also be interpreted as one-dimensional spin-orbit-coupled model, which thus lay a foundation towards the realization of quantum spin Hall effect.

  We study theoretically an array of two-level qubits moving relative to a one-dimensional waveguide. When the frequency of this motion approaches twice the qubit resonance frequency, it induces parametric generation of photons and excitation of the qubits. We develop a comprehensive general theoretical framework that incorporates both perturbative diagrammatic techniques and a rigorous master-equation approach.

  Superconducting transmon qubits with strong anharmonicity and insensitivity to offset charge are desirable for low-error implementation. We propose a c-axis junction, comprising triplet superconductors, and set at a relative twist angle. In this architecture, the anomalous flux is determined by the twist angle of the junction, thereby offering a novel zero-field functionality.

We present a systematic method on how to measure the topological band structure based on time- and space-domain Frourier transformation of the wave function after properly excited.

A steady-state atomic motion along the legs of the ladder leads either to a pure chiral current, or generates simultaneously chiral and particle currents. An electromotive force is induced in this dynamical regime as expected from an interpretation based on Faraday's law of induction for the time-dependent synthetic magnetic flux.

  We present an experimentally-feasible method to achieve the synthetic gauge field by introducing ac microwave driving in each qubit. In particular, the effective magnetic flux per plaquette achieved can be tuned independently by properly choosing the driving phases. In the Meissner phase, the ground-state chiral current increases as the magnetic flux increases, while it decreases in the vortex phase.
