Author(s):

Gabriel A. Peterson, Florent Q. Lecocq, Katarina Cicak, Raymond W. Simmonds, Jose A. Aumentado, John D. Teufel

Abstract The ability to engineer nonreciprocal interactions is an essential tool in modern communication technology as well as a powerful resource for building...

Optomechanical Raman-Ratio Thermometry

September 09, 2015

Author(s):

Katarina Cicak, Tom Purdy, Pen Li Yu, Nir Kampel, Bob Peterson, Raymond W. Simmonds, Cindy Regal

The temperature dependence of the asymmetry between Stokes and anti-Stokes Raman scattering can be exploited for self-calibrating, optically-based thermometry...

Tunable Resonant and Nonresonant Interactions between a Phase Qubit and LC Resonator

March 26, 2014

Author(s):

Michael S. Allman, Jed D. Whittaker, Manuel C. Castellanos Beltran, Katarina Cicak, Fabio C. Da Silva, Michael DeFeo, Florent Q. Lecocq, Adam J. Sirois, John D. Teufel, Jose A. Aumentado, Raymond W. Simmonds

We use a flux-biased radio frequency superconducting quantum interference device (rf SQUID) with an embedded flux-biased direct current SQUID to generate...

A phononic bandgap shield for high-Q membrane microresonators

January 15, 2014

Author(s):

Raymond W. Simmonds, P.-L. Yu, Katarina Cicak, N. S. Kampel, Y. Tsaturyan, T. P. Purdy, C. A. Regal

A phononic crystal can control the acoustic coupling between a resonator and its support structure. We micromachine a phononic bandgap shield for high Q...

Dynamical Autler-Townes control of a phase qubit

September 10, 2012

Author(s):

Jian Li, G.S. Paraoanu, Katarina Cicak, Fabio Altomare, Jae Park, Raymond W. Simmonds, Mika A. Sillanpaa, Pertti Hakonen

We present an experimental demonstration of a phase qubit acting as an on/o® switch for the absorbtion of photons in a probe microwave beam. The switch is...
