We make a detailed theoretical description of the two-dimensional nature of a dc-SQUID, analyzing the coupling between its two orthogonal phase oscillation modes. While it has been shown that the mode defined as longitudinal can be initialized, manipulated and measured, so as to encode a quantum bit of information, the mode defined as transverse is usually repelled at high frequency and does not interfere in the dynamics. We show that, using typical parameters of existing devices, the transverse mode energy can be made of the order of the longitudinal one. In this regime, we can observe a strong coupling between these modes, described by an Hamiltonian providing a wide range of interesting effects, such as conditional quantum operations and entanglement. This coupling also creates an atomic-like structure for the combined two mode states, with a V-like scheme.

We report on the nonlinear coupling between the mechanical modes of a nanotube resonator. The coupling is revealed in a pump-probe experiment where a mode driven by a pump force is shown to modify the motion of a second mode measured with a probe for ce. In a second series of experiments, we actuate the resonator with only one oscillating force. Mechanical resonances feature exotic lineshapes with reproducible dips, peaks, and jumps when the measured mode is commensurate with another mode with a frequency ratio of either 2 or 3. Conventional lineshapes are recovered by detuning the frequency ratio using the voltage on a nearby gate electrode. The exotic lineshapes are attributed to strong coupling between the mechanical modes. The possibility to control the strength of the coupling with the gate voltage holds promise for various experiments, such as quantum manipulation, mechanical signal processing, and the study of the quantum-toclassical transition.
There is a large interest to decrease the size of mechanical oscillators since this can lead to miniaturization of timing and frequency referencing devices, but also because of the potential of small mechanical oscillators as extremely sensitive sens ors. Here we show that a single crystal silicon resonator structure spontaneously starts to oscillate when driven by a constant direct current (DC). The mechanical oscillation is sustained by an electrothermomechanical feedback effect in a nanobeam, which operates as a mechanical displacement amplifier. The displacement of the resonator mass is amplified, because it modulates the resistive heating power in the nanobeam via the piezoresistive effect, which results in a temperature variation that causes a thermal expansion feedback-force from the nanobeam on the resonator mass. This self-amplification effect can occur in almost any conducting material, but is particularly effective when the current density and mechanical stress are concentrated in beams of nano-scale dimensions.
A superconducting quantum interference device with differential output or DSQUID was proposed earlier for operation in the presence of large common-mode signals. The DSQUID is the differential connection of two identical SQUIDs. Here we show that bes ides suppression of electromagnetic interference this device provides effective linearization of DC SQUID voltage response. In the frame of the resistive shunted junction model with zero capacitance, we demonstrate that Spur-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) of DSQUID magnetic flux-to-voltage transfer function is higher than SFDR > 100 dB while Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of a signal is less than THD < $10^{-3}%$ with a peak-to-peak amplitude of a signal being a quarter of half flux quantum, $2Phi_a = Phi_0/8$. Analysis of DSQUID voltage response stability to a variation of the circuit parameters shows that DSQUID implementation allows doing highly linear magnetic flux-to-voltage transformation at the cost of a high identity of Josephson junctions and high-precision current supply.

We present a theoretical analysis of the quantum dynamics of a superconducting circuit based on a highly asymmetric Cooper pair transistor (ACPT) in parallel to a dc-SQUID. Starting from the full Hamiltonian we show that the circuit can be modeled as a charge qubit (ACPT) coupled to an anharmonic oscillator (dc-SQUID). Depending on the anharmonicity of the SQUID, the Hamiltonian can be reduced either to one that describes two coupled qubits or to the Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian. Here the dc-SQUID can be viewed as a tunable micron-size resonator. The coupling term, which is a combination of a capacitive and a Josephson coupling between the two qubits, can be tuned from the very strong- to the zero-coupling regimes. It describes very precisely the tunable coupling strength measured in this circuit and explains the quantronium as well as the adiabatic quantum transfer read-out.
A self-consistent integral equation is formulated and solved iteratively which determines the steady-state lasing modes of open multi-mode lasers. These modes are naturally decomposed in terms of frequency dependent biorthogonal modes of a linear wav e equation and not in terms of resonances of the cold cavity. A one-dimensional cavity laser is analyzed and the lasing mode is found to have non-trivial spatial structure even in the single-mode limit. In the multi-mode regime spatial hole-burning and mode competition is treated exactly. The formalism generalizes to complex, chaotic and random laser media.
