摘要
We report experimental observation of two distinct quantum interference patterns in the absorption spectra when a transmon superconducting qubit is subjected to a bichromatic microwave field with the same Rabi frequencies. Within the two-mode Floquet formalism with no dissipation processes, we propose a graph-theoretical representation to model the interaction Hamiltonian for each of these observations. This theoretical framework provides a clear visual representation of various underlying physical processes in a systematic way beyond rotating-wave approximation. The presented approach is valuable to gain insights into the behavior of multichromatic field driven quantum two-level systems, such as two-level atoms and superconducting qubits. Each of the observed interference patterns is represented by appropriate graph products on the proposed color-weighted graphs. The underlying mechanisms and the characteristic features of the observed fine structures are identified by the transitions between the graph vertices, which represent the doubly dressed states of the system. The good agreement between the numerical simulation and experimental data confirms the validity of the theoretical method. Such multiphoton interference may be used in manipulating the quantum states and/or generate nonclassical microwave photons.
