Josephson circuits have been ideal systems with which to study complex nonlinear
dynamics that can lead to chaotic behavior and instabilities. More recently, Josephson …

The photon blockade breakdown in a continuously driven cavity QED system has been
proposed as a prime example for a first-order driven-dissipative quantum phase transition …

Superconducting circuits are a versatile platform to implement a multitude of Hamiltonians
that perform quantum computation, simulation, and sensing tasks. A key ingredient for …

Shortcuts to adiabaticity are powerful quantum control methods, allowing quick evolution
into target states of otherwise slow adiabatic dynamics. Such methods have widespread …

The non-deterministic behavior of the Duffing oscillator is classically attributed to the
coexistence of two steady states in a double-well potential. However, this interpretation fails …

Driven quantum nonlinear oscillators, while essential for quantum technologies, are
generally prone to complex chaotic dynamics that fall beyond the reach of perturbative …

Critical slowing down of the time it takes a system to reach equilibrium is a key signature of
bistability in dissipative first-order phase transitions. Understanding and characterizing this …

We present an experimental investigation of stochastic switching of a bistable Josephson
junction array resonator with a resonance frequency in the GHz range. As the device is in …

In this work, we theoretically propose a highly-flexible optical bistable switch based on a
suspended monolayer Z-shaped graphene nanoribbon nanoresonator (NR). It is shown that …

We study analytically and numerically the properties of the Jaynes-Cummings model under
monochromatic driving. The analytical results allow us to understand the regime of two …
