We propose a realizable architecture using one-dimensional transmission line resonators to reach the strong coupling limit of cavity quantum electrodynamics in superconducting electrical circuits. The vacuum Rabi frequency for photons quantized excitations an adjacent circuit (qubit) can easily exceed damping rates both and qubit. This is attractive as macroscopic analog atomic physics experiments computing control, since it provides inhibition spontaneous emission, potentially leading...
Quantum mechanical effects at the macroscopic level were first explored in Josephson junction-based superconducting circuits 1980's.

Creating a train of single photons and monitoring its propagation interaction is challenging in most physical systems, as generally interact very weakly with other systems. However, when confining microwave frequency transmission line resonator, effective photon-photon interactions can be mediated by qubits embedded the resonator. Here, we observe phenomenon photon blockade through second-order correlation function measurements. The experiments clearly demonstrate antibunching continuously...
