Photon condensation in circuit quantum electrodynamics by engineered dissipation
Photon condensation in circuit quantum electrodynamics by engineered dissipation
We study photon condensation phenomena in a driven and dissipative array of superconducting microwave resonators. Specifically, we show that by using an appropriately designed coupling of microwave photons to superconducting qubits, an effective dissipative mechanism can be engineered, which scatters photons towards low-momentum states while conserving their number. This mimics …
