Hybrid quantum circuits combine two or more physical systems, with the goal of harnessing
the advantages and strengths of the different systems in order to better explore new …

Superconducting circuits based on Josephson junctions exhibit macroscopic quantum
coherence and can behave like artificial atoms. Recent technological advances have made …

The aim of this review is to provide quantum engineers with an introductory guide to the
central concepts and challenges in the rapidly accelerating field of superconducting …

Cold, macroscopic mechanical systems are expected to behave contrary to our usual
classical understanding of reality; the most striking and counterintuitive predictions involve …

We study the quantum-mechanical generalization of force or pressure, and then we extend
the classical thermodynamic isobaric process to quantum-mechanical systems. Based on …

The quantum dynamics of the coupling between a cavity optical field and a resonator
microwave field via the electro-optic effect is studied. This coupling has the same form as the …

Quantum engineering–the design and fabrication of quantum coherent structures–has
emerged as a field in physics with important potential applications. This book provides a self …

We propose how to achieve significantly enhanced quantum refrigeration and entanglement
by coupling a pumped auxiliary cavity to an optomechanical cavity. We obtain both …

We theoretically study the dynamics of an optomechanical system, consisting of a passive
optical mode and an active mechanical mode, in the PT-and broken-PT-symmetric regimes …

Phonon blockade is a purely quantum phenomenon, analogous to Coulomb and photon
blockades, in which a single phonon in an anharmonic mechanical resonator can impede …
