Quantum wave mixing and visualisation of coherent and superposed photonic states in a waveguide
The phenomenon of wave mixing is expected to show peculiar features when scaled down to the quantum level. Here, the authors show how coherent electromagnetic waves propagating in a 1D transmission line with an embedded two-level artificial atom are mapped into a quantised spectrum of narrow peaks.
