Here we investigate the resonant interaction between a single transmon-type multilevel artificial atom and weak thermal and coherent fields. We explore up to three photon dressed states of the coupled system in a linear response heterodyne transmission measurement. The results are in good quantitative agreement with a generalized Jaynes-Cummings model. Our data indicates that the role of thermal fields in resonant cavity QED can be studied in detail using superconducting circuits.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-11-19T13:54:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "circuit quantum electrodynamics", "multi-photon dressed states", "thermal excitation", "linear response heterodyne transmission measurement", "single transmon-type multilevel artificial atom" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Physica Scripta Volume T", "year": 2009, "month": "Dec", "volume": 137, "pages": "014013" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009PhST..137a4013F" } } }
