Dephasing due to Intermode Coupling in Superconducting Stripline Resonators
The nonlinearity exhibited by the kinetic inductance of a superconducting
stripline couples stripline resonator modes together in a manner suitable for
quantum non-demolition measurement of the number of photons in a given
resonator mode. Quantum non-demolition measurement is accomplished by
coherently driving another resonator mode, referred to as the detector mode,
and measuring its response. We show that the sensitivity of such a detection
scheme is directly related to the dephasing rate induced by such an intermode
coupling. We show that high sensitivity is expected when the detector mode is
driven into the nonlinear regime and operated close to a point where critical
slowing down occurs
Photon-atom interactions
This book provides an introduction to the body of theory shared by several branches of modern optics--nonlinear optics, quantum electronics, laser physics, and quantum optics--with an emphasis on quantum and statistical aspects. It is intended for well prepared undergraduate and graduate students in physics, applied physics, electrical engineering, and chemistry who seek a level of preparation of sufficient maturity to enable them to follow the specialized literature
