Giant Kerr Nonlinearities in Circuit Quantum Electrodynamics [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2009 The very small size of optical nonlinearities places strict restrictions on the types of novel physics one can explore. This work describes how a single artificial multilevel Cooper pair box molecule, interacting with a superconducting microwave coplanar resonator, when suitably driven, can generate extremely large optical nonlinearities at microwave ...

Observation of Kerr nonlinearity in microcavities at room temperature [PDF]
, 2004 We have devised and experimentally verified a method for observation of the optical Kerr effect in microcavities at room temperature. The technique discriminates against the much larger and typically dominant thermal component of nonlinearity by using ...

Tailoring optical nonlinearities via the Purcell effect
, 2007 We predict that the effective nonlinear optical susceptibility can be tailored using the Purcell effect. While this is a general physical principle that applies to a wide variety of nonlinearities, we specifically investigate the Kerr nonlinearity.

Spatial Solitons in Media with Delayed-Response Optical Nonlinearities
, 1994 Near-soliton scanning light-beam propagation in media with both delayed-response Kerr-type and thermal nonlinearities is analyzed. The delayed-response part of the Kerr nonlinearity is shown to be competitive as compared to the thermal nonlinearity, and ...

Nonlinear combining of laser beams [PDF]
, 2014 We propose to combine multiple laser beams into a single diffraction-limited beam by the beam self-focusing (collapse) in the Kerr medium. The beams with the total power above critical are first combined in the near field and then propagated in the ...

Critical Schrödinger Cat Qubit
PRX Quantum, 2023 Encoding quantum information onto bosonic systems is a promising route to quantum error correction. In a cat code, this encoding relies on the confinement of the dynamics of the system onto the two-dimensional manifold spanned by Schrödinger cats of ...
