QMC Condensed Matter Colloquium
Circuit QED Lattices

Alicia J. Kollar
University of Maryland

Abstract
The field of circuit QED has emerged as a rich platform for both quantum computation and quantum simulation. Lattices of coplanar waveguide (CPW) resonators realize artificial photonic materials in the tight-binding limit. Combined with strong qubit-photon interactions, these systems can be used to study dynamical phase transitions, many-body phenomena, and spin models in driven-dissipative systems. I will show that waveguide resonators permit the creation of exotic lattices, including lattices in curved spaces, and lattices with gapped flat bands.
