Abstract: Qubit measurement and control in circuit QED rely on microwave drives, with higher drive amplitudes ideally leading to faster processes. However, degradation in qubit coherence time and readout fidelity has been observed even under moderate drive amplitudes corresponding to few photons populating the measurement resonator. Here, we numerically explore the dynamics of a driven transmon-resonator system under strong and nearly resonant measurement drives, and find clear signatures of transmon ionization where the qubit escapes out of its cosine potential. Using a semiclassical model, we interpret this ionization as resulting from resonances occurring at specific resonator photon populations. We find that the photon populations at which these spurious transitions occur are strongly parameter dependent and that they can occur at low resonator photon population, something which may explain the experimentally observed degradation in measurement fidelity.

Optical signatures of dynamical excitonic condensates [38.42595111719131]
We show that optical spectroscopy can experimentally identify phase-trapped and phase-delocalized dynamical regimes of condensation. In the weak-bias regime, the trapped dynamics of the order parameter's phase lead to an in-gap absorption line at a frequency almost independent of the bias voltage. Close to the transition between the trapped and freely oscillating states, we find a strong response upon application of a weak electric probe field.

Nonlinear dynamical Casimir effect and Unruh entanglement in waveguide QED with parametrically modulated coupling [83.88591755871734]
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.

Photon-assisted Landau Zener transitions in a tunable driven Rabi dimer coupled to a micromechanical resonator [9.117356812163793]
We have investigated photon-assisted Landau-Zener transitions and qubit manipulation in a quantum electrodynamics device. Results show that low phonon frequencies can alter the qubit dynamics, particularly in the absence of the driving fields. This study unveils the imperative roles that photons and phonons play in the Rabi dimer model.

Resonant Parametric Photon Generation in Waveguide-coupled Quantum Emitter Arrays [83.88591755871734]
We have developed a theory of parametric photon generation in the waveguides coupled to arrays of quantum emitters with temporally modulated resonance frequencies. Such generation can be interpreted as a dynamical Casimir effect. We demonstrate numerically and analytically how the emission directionality and photon-photon correlations can be controlled by the phases of the modulation.
