Journal Article
Scherbakov, A. V., Carr, A. D., Linnik, T. L., Kukhtaruk, S. M., Armour, A. D., Nadzeyka, A., …Bayer, M. (2024). Hybrid coherent control of magnons in a ferromagnetic phononic resonator excited by laser pulses. Physical Review Research, 6(1), Article L012019. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevResearch.6.L012019

We propose and demonstrate the concept of hybrid coherent control (CC) whereby a quantum or classical harmonic oscillator is excited by two excitations: one is quasiharmonic (i.e., harmonic with a finite lifetime) and the other is a pulsed broadband...

Discrete time translation symmetry breaking in a Josephson junction laser (2023)
Journal Article
Lang, B., Morley, G. F., & Armour, A. D. (2023). Discrete time translation symmetry breaking in a Josephson junction laser. Physical review B: Condensed matter and materials physics, 107(14), Article 144509. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.107.144509

A Josephson junction laser is realized when a microwave cavity is driven by a voltage-biased Josephson junction. Through the ac Josephson effect, a dc voltage generates a periodic drive that acts on the cavity and generates interactions between its m...

Defining the Semiclassical Limit of the Quantum Rabi Hamiltonian (2022)
Journal Article
Irish, E. K., & Armour, A. D. (2022). Defining the Semiclassical Limit of the Quantum Rabi Hamiltonian. Physical Review Letters, 129(18), Article 183603. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.129.183603

The crossover from quantum to semiclassical behavior in the seminal Rabi model of light-matter interaction still, surprisingly, lacks a complete and rigorous understanding. A formalism for deriving the semiclassical model directly from the quantum Ha... Read More about Defining the Semiclassical Limit of the Quantum Rabi Hamiltonian.

A macroscopic object passively cooled into its quantum ground state of motion beyond single-mode cooling (2021)
Journal Article

A macroscopic object passively cooled into its quantum ground state of motion beyond single-mode cooling. Nature Communications, 12(1), Article 6182. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-26457-8

The nature of the quantum-to-classical crossover remains one of the most challenging open question of Science to date. In this respect, moving objects play a specific role. Pioneering experiments over the last few years have begun exploring quantum b...

Josephson photonics with simultaneous resonances (2021)
Journal Article

Inelastic Cooper pair tunneling across a voltage-biased Josephson junction in series with one or more microwave cavities can generate photons via resonant processes in which the energy lost by the Cooper pair matches that of the photon(s) produced. W... Read More about Josephson photonics with simultaneous resonances.

Quantum estimation of coupling strengths in driven-dissipative optomechanics (2021)

We exploit local quantum estimation theory to investigate the measurement of linear (g1) and quadratic (g2) coupling strengths in a driven-dissipative optomechanical system in the red-sideband regime. We consider model parameters inspired by recent e... Read More about Quantum estimation of coupling strengths in driven-dissipative optomechanics.

We introduce a simple model system to study synchronization theoretically in quantum oscillators that are not just in limit-cycle states, but rather display a more complex bistable dynamics. Our oscillator model is purely dissipative, with a two-phot... Read More about Phase synchronization in coupled bistable oscillators.
