Abstract

In this experiment, we couple a superconducting transmon qubit to a high-impedance 645Ω microwave resonator. Doing so leads to a large qubit-resonator coupling rate g, measured through a large vacuum Rabi splitting of 2g≃910 MHz. The coupling is a significant fraction of the qubit and resonator oscillation frequencies ω, placing our system close to the ultrastrong coupling regime (g=g/ω=0.071 on resonance). Combining this setup with a vacuum-gap transmon architecture shows the potential of reaching deep into the ultrastrong coupling g∼0.45 with transmon qubits.
