Perspectives for a superconducting charge qubit system interacting with bimodal cavity fields

We report on the observation of new features in a superconducting charge qubit system. The system we analyze comprises of a single Cooper-pair box sequentially coupled to two microwave cavity fields. Simulations of the full qubit-field dynamics show significant total correlation and coherence loss. By suitably choosing the system's parameters and precisely controlling the dynamics, we demonstrate the generation of two-mode field states. We explore the nonclassical behavior of the system by studding the quasi-probability distribution function. Our scheme can be realized within the current experimental technology and may well be of use in quantum information processing applications. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
