Microwave Quantum Photonics

Abstract

The past decade has witnessed rapid and remarkable development of electronic circuits that can probe the quantum regime. Very strong light-matter interactions and the improvement in manipulating artificial atoms and microwave resonators have brought the field to the single-photon regime, enabling the study of dynamics involving a single microwave photon. This chapter focusses on the development and status of microwave electronics in the few-quanta regime, and specifically on the twin aspects of measurement and generation of single microwave photons.
