Abstract

The Cooper-pair box (CPB) capacitively coupled to an LC resonatorwas considered in a superconducting quantum circuit that permittedthe high adjustability of light-matter interactions. The deep-strongcoupling (DSC) and ultra-strong coupling (USC) regimes could beobtained by increasing the impedance of the LC resonator anddecreasing the Josephson energy of the qubit. In this regard, atwo-qubit circuit, as a coherent mediator with a promising degree ofnoise immunity, was used to transfer quantum states between pairs ofTransmon qubits. This study provided new insights into USC regimesin light-matter interaction systems. Furthermore, it contributed tothe fields of quantum control, quantum simulation, and quantuminformation processing with superconducting quantum circuits.
