Tunable Hybrid Quantum Electrodynamics from Non-Linear Electron Transport

Recent advances in quantum electronics have allowed to engineer hybrid nano-devices comprising on chip a microwave electromagnetic resonator coupled to an artificial atom, a quantum dot. These systems realize novel platforms to explore non-equilibrium quantum impurity physics with light and matter. Coupling the quantum dot system to reservoir leads (source and drain) produces an electronic current as well as dissipation when applying a bias voltage across the system. Focusing on a standard model of biased quantum dot coupled to a photon mode we elucidate the signatures of the electronic correlations in the phase of the transmitted microwave signal. In addition, we illustrate the effect of the electronic degrees of freedom on the photon field, giving rise to non-linearities, damping and dissipation, and discuss how to control these effects by means of gate and bias voltages.
