Abstract

Using superconducting parametric cavities, we have demonstrated much of the toolbox of linear quantum optics, but also extended it by taking advantage of the strong nonlinearities of superconducting circuits. In a set of experiments, we have used these parametric cavities as a platform for analog quantum simulation of lattice field theories. Preliminary results already show the promise of the platform for this application. For instance, a single device can simulate a number of different models, including topological and chiral models, in a flexible and programmable way.
