Managing the interaction between two quantum objects is a fundamental issue for quantum information processing. A promising approach is a two-resonator circuit quantum electrodynamics setup referred to as quantum switch [1]. Here, a superconducting qubit provides switchable coupling between the resonators. This requires operation in the dispersive regime, where the qubit transition frequency is far detuned from those of the resonators. In our contribution we present a dissipative theory for the quantum switch [2]. We derive an effective Hamiltonian beyond rotating-wave approximation and study the dissipative dynamics within a quantum master equation approach. We derive analytically how the qubit affects the dynamics and the coherence of the switch even if its state remains constant, and we estimate the strength of this influence. Our results are corroborated by numerical simulations. We acknowledge support from SFB631 and NIM.
