Összefoglaló:
I present our studies over the last several years related to the photon-blockade breakdown (PBB) effect, occurring most simply in a coupled system of a bosonic mode and a two-level system. Having been identified as a first-order dissipative phase transition in a thermodynamic limit where the coupling between the subsystems goes to infinity without affecting the system size [1] (hence the designation zero-dimensional), PBB was studied in a finite-size scaling approach [2], with finite-size scaling exponents determined numerically. I describe the experimental studies where we participated from the theoretical/computational side. PBB was first observed in a circuit QED platform [3], and the thermodynamic limit can also be modeled with artificial superconducting atoms [4]. I present our computational technology – involving on the software side quantum-trajectory simulations implemented in a high-level C++ framework [5], and on the hardware side a virtual cluster in an OpenStack cloud environment (ELKH cloud).
