A driven quantum superconducting circuit with multiple tunable degeneracies
read the original abstract
We present the experimental discovery of multiple simultaneous degeneracies in the spectrum of a Kerr oscillator subjected to a squeezing drive. This squeezing, in combination with the Kerr interaction creates an effective static two-well potential in the frame rotating at half the frequency of the sinusoidal driving force. Remarkably, these degeneracies can be turned on-and-off on demand, and their number is tunable. We find that when the detuning $\Delta$ between the frequency of the oscillator and characteristic frequency of the drive equals an even multiple of the Kerr coefficient $K$, $\Delta/K = 2m$, the oscillator displays $m + 1$ exact, parity-protected, spectral degeneracies, insensitive to the drive amplitude. The degeneracies stem from the unusual destructive interference of tunnel paths in the classically forbidden region of the double well static effective potential that models our experiment. Exploiting this interference, we measure a peaked enhancement of the incoherent well-switching lifetime creating a super-protected cat qubit in the ground state manifold of our oscillator. {Our results demonstrate the relationship between degeneracies and noise protection in quantum systems.
