Electromagnetic pulse propagation in a quantum metamaterial - artificial, globally quantum coherent optical medium - is numerically simulated. We show that for the quantum metamaterials based on superconducting quantum bits, initialized in an easily reachable factorized state, lasing in microwave range is triggered, accompanied by the chaotization of qubit states and generation of higher harmonics. These effects may provide a tool for characterization and optimization of quantum metamaterial prototypes.

The classification of topological states of matter in terms of unitary symmetries and dimensionality predicts the existence of nontrivial topological states even in zero-dimensional systems, i.e., a system with a discrete energy spectrum. Here, we sh
ow that a quantum dot coupled with two superconducting leads can realize a nontrivial zero-dimensional topological superconductor with broken time-reversal symmetry, which corresponds to the finite size limit of the one-dimensional topological superconductor. Topological phase transitions corresponds to a change of the fermion parity, and to the presence of zero-energy modes and discontinuities in the current-phase relation at zero temperature. These fermion parity transitions therefore can be revealed by the current discontinuities or by a measure of the critical current at low temperatures.
It has recently become possible to encode the quantum state of superconducting qubits and the position of nanomechanical oscillators into the states of microwave fields. However, to make an ideal measurement of the state of a qubit, or to detect the
position of a mechanical oscillator with quantum-limited sensitivity requires an amplifier that adds no noise. If an amplifier adds less than half a quantum of noise, it can also squeeze the quantum noise of the electromagnetic vacuum. Highly squeezed states of the vacuum serve as an important quantum information resource. They can be used to generate entanglement or to realize back-action-evading measurements of position. Here we introduce a general purpose parametric device, which operates in a frequency band between 4 and 8 GHz. It is a subquantum-limited microwave amplifier, it amplifies quantum noise above the added noise of commercial amplifiers, and it squeezes quantum fluctuations by 10 dB.
We study a periodic arrangement of magnetic regions in a one-dimensional superconducting wire. Due to the local exchange field, each region supports Andreev bound states that hybridize forming Bloch bands in the subgap spectrum of what we call the An
dreev crystal (AC). As an illustration, ACs with ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic alignment of the magnetic regions are considered. We relate the spectral asymmetry index of a spin-resolved Hamiltonian to the spin polarization and identify it as the observable that quantifies the closing and reopening of the excitation gap. In particular, antiferromagnetic ACs exhibit a sequence of gapped phases separated by gapless Dirac phase boundaries. Heterojunctions between antiferromagnetic ACs in neighboring phases support spin-polarized bound states at the interface. In a close analogy to the charge fractionalization in Dirac systems with a mass inversion, we find a fractionalization of the interface spin.
When an electron or hole is in a conduction band of a crystal, it can be very different from 2, depending upon the crystalline anisotropy and the direction of the applied magnetic induction ${bf B}$. In fact, it can even be 0! To demonstrate this qua
ntitatively, the Dirac equation is extended for a relativistic electron or hole in an orthorhombically-anisotropic conduction band with effective masses $m_j$ for $j=1,2,3$ with geometric mean $m_g=(m_1m_2m_3)^{1/3}$. The appropriate Foldy-Wouthuysen transformations are extended to evaluate the non-relativistic Hamiltonian to $O({rm m}c^2)^{-4}$, where ${rm m}c^2$ is the particles Einstein rest energy. For ${bf B}||hat{bf e}_{mu}$, the Zeeman $g_{mu}$ factor is $2{rm m}sqrt{m_{mu}}/m_g^{3/2} + O({rm m}c^2)^{-2}$. While propagating in a two-dimensional (2D) conduction band with $m_3gg m_1,m_2$, $g_{||}<<2$, consistent with recent measurements of the temperature $T$ dependence of the parallel upper critical induction $B_{c2,||}(T)$ in superconducting monolayer NbSe$_2$ and in twisted bilayer graphene. While a particle is in its conduction band of an atomically thin one-dimensional metallic chain along $hat{bf e}_{mu}$, $g<<2$ for all ${bf B}={bf abla}times{bf A}$ directions and vanishingly small for ${bf B}||hat{bf e}_{mu}$. The quantum spin Hall Hamiltonian for 2D metals with $m_1=m_2=m_{||}$ is $K[{bf E}times({bf p}-q{bf A})]_{perp}sigma_{perp}+O({rm m}c^2)^{-4}$, where ${bf E}$ and ${bf p}-q{bf A}$ are the planar electric field and gauge-invariant momentum, $q=mp|e|$ is the particles charge, $sigma_{perp}$ is the Pauli matrix normal to the layer, $K=pmmu_B/(2m_{||}c^2)$, and $mu_B$ is the Bohr magneton.
Coupling Majorana fermion excitations to coherent external fields is an important stage towards their manipulation and detection. We analyse the charge and transmon regimes of a topological nano-wire embedded within a Cooper-Pair-Box, where the super
conducting phase difference is coupled to the zero energy parity states that arise from Majorana quasi-particles. We show that at special gate bias points, the photon-qubit coupling can be switched off via quantum interference, and in other points it is exponentially dependent on the control parameter $E_J/E_C$. As well as a probe for topological-superconductor excitations, we propose that this type of device could be used to realise a tunable high coherence four-level system in the superconducting circuits architecture.
