From Coulomb-Blockade to Nonlinear Quantum Dynamics in a Superconducting Circuit with a ResonatorVera Gramich, •Björn Kubala, Selina Rohrer, and Joachim Ankerhold — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Ulm, Albert-Einstein-Allee 11, 89069 Ulm, Germany

Motivated by recent experiments [1] on superconducting circuits consisting of a dc-voltage-biased Josephson junction in series with a resonator, quantum properties of these devices far from equilibrium are studied [2]. This includes a crossover from a domain of incoherent to a domain of coherent Cooper pair tunneling, where the circuit realizes a driven nonlinear oscillator. Equivalently, weak photon-charge coupling turns into strong correlations captured by a single degree of freedom. Radiated photons offer a new tool to monitor charge flow and current noise gives access to nonlinear dynamics, which allows us to analyze quantum-classical boundaries. Higher order resonances are discussed as well and provide new avenues for future experiments.
