Coupled superconducting transmission line resonator systems have potential applications in quantum information processing and fundamental quantum mechanics. Experimentally, high coupling strengths are desirable for a clear demonstration of quantum effects. We achieve coupling strengths of more than 10% of the resonator frequency (ultrastrong coupling) by distributed coupling. We find that, differently from the case of point-like coupling, the normal modes are no longer arranged symmetrically with respect to the single resonator frequency. Nevertheless, a detailed theoretical analysis shows that the system can still be described by a beam splitter Hamiltonian for two effective resonators. We expect that this result will allow for straightforward experimental access to exciting effects such as thermal entanglement in our samples.
