We study counterintuitive dynamics of a two-level system (TLS) interacting with electric field superoscillating in time. We show that a TLS may be excited by an external light pulse whose spectral components are below the absorption line of…

We present an analytical and comprehensive description of the quantum dynamics of a microwave resonantly driven superconducting phase qubit coupled to a microscopic two-level system (TLS), covering a wide range of the external microwave…

Superconducting qubits often show signatures of coherent coupling to microscopic two-level fluctuators (TLFs), which manifest themselves as avoided level crossings in spectroscopic data. In this work we study a phase qubit, in which we…

We have analyzed a dissipative two level quantum system (TLS) which is continuously and simultaneously irradiated by a high and low frequency excitation. The interaction of the TLS with a high frequency excitation is considered in the frame…

A two level system is considered which has no static dipole moment, e.g. molecule $H_2$ in its ground electronic state. If strong enough external field is applied, it will dynamically distort such a system and supply it with time (and…

Atomic sized two-level systems (TLSs) in amorphous dielectrics are known as a major source of loss in superconducting devices. In addition, individual TLS are known to induce large frequency shifts due to strong coupling to the devices.…

We consider a two-level (TL) system with energy level separation Omega_0 inside a Josephson junction. The junction is shunted by a resistor R and is current I (or voltage V = RI) biased. If the TL system modulates the Josephson energy…

Quantum two-level systems (TLSs) intrinsic to glasses induce decoherence in many modern quantum devices, such as superconducting qubits. Although the low-temperature physics of these TLSs is usually well-explained by a phenomenological…

We investigate how the quantum control of a two-level system (TLS) coupled to photons can modify and tune the TLS's photon absorption spectrum. Tuning and controlling the emission and the absorption is of much interest e.g.\ for the…

Quantum two-level systems (TLSs) commonly found at low temperature in amorphous and disordered materials are responsible for decoherence in superconducting Josephson junction qubits particularly because they absorb energy of coherent qubit…

Quantum systems driven by strong oscillating fields are the source of many interesting physical phenomena. In this work, we experimentally study the dynamics of a two-level system of a single spin driven in the strong-driving regime where…

We study the excitation of a two-level system (2LS) by quantum light, thereby bringing our previous studies~(see part~I. of this series) to a target that is quantum itself. While there is no gain for the quantum state of the target as…

The Area Theorem states that when a short optical pulse drives a quantum two-level system, it undergoes Rabi oscillations in the probability of scattering a single photon. In this work, we investigate the breakdown of the Area Theorem as…

The theoretical community has found interest in the ability of a two-level atom to generate a strong many-body interaction with light under pulsed excitation. Single-photon generation is the most well-known effect, where a short Gaussian…

We consider the problem of a qubit driven by a harmonically oscillating external field while it is coupled to a quantum two-level system. We perform a systematic numerical analysis of the problem by varying the relevant parameters. The…

Two-level systems (TLS) of unclear physical origin are a major contributor to decoherence in superconducting qubits. The interactions of individual TLS with a qubit can be detected via various spectroscopic methods, most of which have…

The microwave absorption and noise caused by quantum two-level systems (TLS) dramatically suppress the coherence in Josephson junction qubits that are promising candidates for a quantum information applications. Microwave absorption by TLSs…

Twisted light (TL), a special kind of light carrying orbital angular momentum, provides a powerful tool for driving symmetry resolved transitions in quantum confined nanostructures. We study a realistic model where a TL pulse excites two…

Using the model of interaction between two-level systems (TLS) and strain fields introduced in Phys. Rev. B 75, 064202 (2007), we calculate the TLS-TLS interaction. We particularize our calculations to amorphous materials and analyze the…

While several experiments claim that two-level system (TLS) defects in amorphous surfaces/interfaces are responsible for energy relaxation in superconducting resonators and qubits, none can provide quantitative explanation of their data in…
