Superconducting quantum circuits have developed into a promising platform for quantum information processing. To this end, systems consisting of a few qubits and/or harmonic oscillator circuits have been investigated. When scaling up these systems, elements allowing for a controlled coupling/decoupling of circuit parts are mandatory. A possible implementation of such an element is the Quantum Switch, where a controllable coupling between two superconducting transmission line resonators is mediated by a superconducting flux qubit. In this presentation, the experimental characterization of such a device and spectroscopic evidence for the switching behavior will be discussed.
