- Abstract: We experimentally investigate a superconducting circuit composed of two flux
qubits ultrastrongly coupled to a common $LC$ resonator. Owing to the large
anharmonicity of the flux qubits, the system can be correctly described by a
generalized Dicke Hamiltonian containing spin-spin interaction terms. In the
experimentally measured spectrum, an avoided level crossing provides evidence
of the exotic interaction that allows the \textit{simultaneous} excitation of
\textit{two} artificial atoms by absorbing \textit{one} photon from the
resonator. This multi-atom ultrastrongly coupled system opens the door to
studying nonlinear optics where the number of excitations is not conserved.
This enables novel processes for quantum-information processing tasks on a
chip.

Two non-identical quantum emitters, when placed within a cavity and coherently excited at the two-photon resonance, can reach stationary states of nearly maximal entanglement.
We show that this mechanism is merely one among a complex family of phenomena that can generate both stationary and metastable entanglement when driving the emitters at the two-photon resonance.
