We study a superconducting artificial atom which is represented by a single Josephson junction or a Josephson junction chain, capacitively coupled to a coherently driven transmission line, and which contains exactly one residual quasiparticle (or up to one quasiparticle per island in a chain). We study the dissipation in the atom induced by the quasiparticle tunneling, taking into account the quasiparticle heating by the drive. We calculate the transmission coefficient in the transmission line for drive frequencies near resonance and show that, when the artificial atom spectrum is nearly harmonic, the intrinsic quality factor of the resonance increases with the drive power. This counterintuitive behavior is due to the energy dependence of the quasiparticle density of states.

An atom in open space can be detected by means of resonant absorption and reemission of electromagnetic waves, known as resonance fluorescence, which is a fundamental phenomenon of quantum optics. We report on the observation of scattering of propaga
ting waves by a single artificial atom. The behavior of the artificial atom, a superconducting macroscopic two-level system, is in a quantitative agreement with the predictions of quantum optics for a pointlike scatterer interacting with the electromagnetic field in one-dimensional open space. The strong atom-field interaction as revealed in a high degree of extinction of propagating waves will allow applications of controllable artificial atoms in quantum optics and photonics.
In this letter, we address the quasiparticle dynamics in thin aluminium, which is critical to improve the sensitivity of superconducting detectors and the coherence time of qubits. We have measured temperature dependent quasiparticle fluctuations in
a small Al volume, embedded in a NbTiN superconducting microwave resonator. When the quasiparticle lifetime saturates at low temperatures, we observe a noise level reduction of a factor $sim$100, from which we deduce that the number of quasiparticles does not saturate, but continues to reduce exponentially with temperature. Comparing resonators on substrate and membrane, we show that the saturation lifetime does not depend on phonon trapping. Quasiparticle trapping is consistent with this behavior, when on-trap recombination limits the observed lifetime. Counter-intuitively, this effect improves the sensitivity of single-photon detectors.
Non-equilibrium studies of two-dimensional (2D) superconductors (SCs) with Ising spin-orbit coupling are prerequisite for their successful application to equilibrium spin-triplet Cooper pairs and, potentially, Majorana fermions. Here, we fabricate no
n-local magnon devices to examine how such 2D Ising superconductivity affects the conversion efficiency of magnon spin to quasiparticle charge in superconducting flakes of 2H-NbSe2 transferred onto ferromagnetic insulating Y3Fe5O12. Comparison with a reference device based on a conventionally paired superconductor shows that the Y3Fe5O12-induced in-plane (IP) exchange spin-splitting in the NbSe2 flake is hindered by its inherent out-of-plane (OOP) spin-orbit-field, which, in turn, limits the transition-state enhancement of the spin-to-charge conversion efficiency. Our out-of-equilibrium study highlights the significance of symmetry matching between underlying Cooper pairs and exchange-induced spin-splitting for the giant transition-state spin-to-charge conversion and may have implications towards proximity-engineered spin-polarized triplet pairing via tuning the relative strength of IP exchange and OOP spin-orbit fields in ferromagnetic insulator/2D Ising SC bilayers.
We study the non linear response of current-transport in a superconducting diffusive nanowire between normal reservoirs. We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally the existence of two different superconducting states appearing when the wire is
driven out of equilibrium by an applied bias, called global and bimodal superconducting state. The different states are identified by using two probe measurements of the wire, and measurements of the local density of states with tunneling probes. The analysis is performed within the framework of the quasiclassical kinetic equations for diffusive superconductors.
Quasiparticles are an important decoherence mechanism in superconducting qubits, and can be described with a complex admittance that is a generalization of the Mattis-Bardeen theory. By injecting non-equilibrium quasiparticles with a tunnel junction,
we verify qualitatively the expected change of the decay rate and frequency in a phase qubit. With their relative change in agreement to within 4% of prediction, the theory can be reliably used to infer quasiparticle density. We describe how settling of the decay rate may allow determination of whether qubit energy relaxation is limited by non-equilibrium quasiparticles.
