Photon-resolved Floquet theory keeps track of the photon exchange of a quantum system with a coherent driving field. It thus complements the standard full-counting statistics that counts the number of photons exchanged with incoherent…

Measurement backaction degrades dispersive readout of superconducting qubits even at modest drive strengths, often via the reduction of qubit lifetimes during readout. In this work, we theoretically and experimentally study this degradation…
The coherent electronic transport phenomena through quantum devices is difficult to observe due to thermal smearing and dephasing, the latter induced by inelastic scattering by phonons or impurities. In other wave systems, the temperature…
Driven-dissipative quantum systems generically do not satisfy simple notions of detailed balance based on the time symmetry of correlation functions. We show that such systems can nonetheless exhibit a hidden time-reversal symmetry which…
