Abstract: Off-resonant interaction of fluctuating photons in a resonator with a qubit increases the qubit dephasing rate. We use this effect to measure a small average number of intracavity photons that are coherently or thermally driven. For spectral resolution, we do this by subjecting the qubit to a Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) sequence and record the qubit dephasing rate for various periods between qubit $\pi$-pulses. The recorded data is then analyzed with formulas for the photon-induced dephasing rate that we have derived for the non-Gaussian noise regime with an arbitrary ratio $2\chi/\kappa$, where $2\chi$ is the qubit frequency shift due to a single photon and $\kappa$ is the resonator decay rate. We show that the presented CPMG dephasing rate formulas agree well with experimental results and demonstrate measurement of thermal and coherent photon populations at the level of a few $10^{-4}$.

Monitoring the energy of a cavity by observing the emission of a repeatedly excited qubit [0.0]
We present an experiment that reaches single shot photocounting and number tracking owing to a cavity decay rate 4 orders of magnitude smaller than both the dispersive coupling rate and the qubit emission rate. We observe quantum jumps by monitoring the photon number via the qubit fluorescence as photons leave the cavity one at a time.

Low-noise Balanced Homodyne Detection with Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors [0.0]
Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) have been widely used to study the discrete nature of quantum states of light. We show that SNSPDs can also be used to study continuous variables of optical quantum states by performing homodyne detection at a bandwidth of $400mathrmkHz$.

Measuring the environment of a Cs qubit with dynamical decoupling sequences [0.0]
We report the experimental implementation of dynamical decoupling on a small, non-interacting ensemble of up to 25 optically trapped, neutral Cs atoms. ACPMG sequence with ten refocusing pulses increases the coherence time of 16.2(9) ms by more than one order of magnitude to 178(2) ms. Our findings point toward noise spectroscopy of engineered atomic baths through single-atom dynamical decoupling.

Emission of photon multiplets by a dc-biased superconducting circuit [0.0]
We observe the emission of bunches of $k geqslant 1$ photons by a circuit made of a microwave resonator in series with a voltage-biased tunable Josephson junction. The bunches are emitted at specific values $V_k$ of the bias voltage, for which each Cooper pair tunneling across the junction creates exactly k photons in the resonator.

We describe a technique to measure photon pair joint spectra by detecting the time-correlation beat note when non-degenerate photon pairs interfere at a beamsplitter. The technique is well suited to characterize pairs of photons, each of which can interact with a single atomic species.

We demonstrate that photon bunching and anti-bunching persist much longer than both radiative and non-radiative lifetimes of a single qubit.
