Abstract

The circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED) system has brought us into an ultrastrong and deep coupling regime in the light–matter interaction community, in which the quantum effect has attracted significant interest. In this study, we theoretically investigated the photon blockade phenomenon in a double-transmon system operating in an ultrastrong coupling regime. We considered the effect of the counter-rotating wave terms in the interaction Hamiltonian and derived the master equation in the eigenpresentation. We found that photon blockade occurred in only one of the eigenmodes, and the counter-rotating wave terms enhanced the blockade by reducing the minimum value of the second-order correlation function. This study will be beneficial for the design of single-photon devices in circuit QED systems, especially in the ultrastrong coupling regime.
