The interaction strength of an oscillator to a qubit grows with the
oscillator's vacuum field fluctuations. The well known degenerate parametric
oscillator has revived interest in the regime of strongly detuned squeezing,
where its eigenstates are squeezed Fock states. Owing to these amplified field
fluctuations, it was recently proposed that squeezing this oscillator would
dynamically boost its coupling to a qubit. In a superconducting circuit
experiment, we observe a two-fold increase in the dispersive interaction
between a qubit and an oscillator at 5.5 dB of squeezing, demonstrating in-situ
dynamical control of qubit-oscillator interactions. This work initiates the
experimental coupling of oscillators of squeezed photons to qubits, and
cautiously motivates their dissemination in experimental platforms seeking
enhanced interactions.Comment: 21 pages, 15 figure
