Superconducting circuits for quantum information processing are often described theoretically in terms of a discrete charge, or equivalently, a compact phase/flux, at each node in the circuit. Here we revisit the consequences of lifting…
We show that tailoring the dissipative environment allows to change the features of continuous quantum phase transitions and, even, induce first order transitions in ferromagnetic spin chains. In particular, using a numerically exact…
With the help of the numerical renormalization group method, we theoretically investigate the Josephson phase transition in a parallel junction with one quantum dot embedded in each arm. It is found that in the cases of uniform dot levels…
We propose to combine Bose-Einstein condensation in higher Bloch bands and a driven-dissipative cavity-BEC system into a hybrid light-matter platform. Specifically, the condensate is trapped in a bipartite $s$-$p_x$-$p_y$-lattice, with a…
