Effect of the qubit relaxation on transport properties of microwave photons

Аннотация

In this work, using the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian method, the transmission of a single photon in a one-dimensional waveguide interacting with the cavity containing an arbitrary number of photons and the two-level artificial atom is studied with allowance for the relaxation of the latter. For transport factors, analytical expressions which explicitly take into account the qubit relaxation parameter have been obtained. The form of the transmission (reflection) coefficient when there is more than one photon in the cavity qualitatively differs from the single-photon cavity and contains the manifestation of the photon blockade effect. The qubit lifetime depends on the number of photons in the cavity.
