• Title: Non-linear regime of atomic arrays at low drive intensity: controlled generation of multiple subradiant excitations via a multi-photon resonance
• Authors: Orazio Scarlatella, Nigel R. Cooper,
• Abstract summary: Atomic arrays have emerged as an interesting light-matter platform displaying strong and controllable collective effects. We show that by driving weakly a non-linear two-particle resonance, a steady-state with a controlled population of subradiant modes can be obtained. This features a non-zero density of interacting subradiant excitations, displaying multi-mode squeezing correlations and long-range correlations that survive many-body heating effects.

• Abstract: Atomic arrays have emerged as an interesting light-matter platform displaying strong and controllable collective effects. In subwavelength regimes, they are characterized by a manifold of subradiant eigenstates, which can host rich quantum many-body physics and might be useful for applications. Nevertheless, their controlled excitation by a weak coherent drive is prevented by their subradiant nature. While this is true at a linear level, and although the weak-drive regime has been often described using linear theories, we point out that this regime is instead strongly non-linear for regular arrays. Using a dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) approach, we show that by driving weakly a non-linear two-particle resonance, a steady-state with a controlled population of subradiant modes can be obtained. This features a non-zero density of interacting subradiant excitations, displaying multi-mode squeezing correlations and long-range correlations that survive many-body heating effects, even at non-zero drive intensities.

We develop a comprehensive general theoretical framework that incorporates both perturbative diagrammatic techniques and a rigorous master-equation approach.

  Lightwave periodic driving of nearly dissipation-less currents has recently emerged as a universal control concept for superconducting (SC) and topological electronics applications. We report the discovery of lightwave-controlled superconductivity via parametric time-periodic driving of strongly-coupled bands in iron-based superconductors. We are able to measure non-perturbative, high-order correlations in this strongly-driven superconductivity by separating the THz multi-dimensional coherent spectra into conventional pump-probe, Higgs collective mode, and pronounced bi-Higgs frequency sideband peaks with highly nonlinear field dependence.

  Tunable two-qubit couplers offer an avenue to mitigate errors in multiqubit superconducting quantum processors. Most couplers operate in a narrow frequency band and target specific couplings, such as the spurious $ZZ$ interaction. We introduce a superconducting coupler that alleviates these limitations by suppressing all two-qubit interactions with an exponentially large on-off ratio.

  We study the case of perfectly mode-matched drives and the case of standing wave drives. By individually exciting eigenmodes we find that this critical intensity has a $upsilon_alpha2.5$ scaling for narrower resonances and more strongly interacting systems. The $upsilon_alpha3$ scaling also corresponds to the semiclassical result whereby quantum fluctuations between the atoms have been neglected.
