Abstract

We present an experimental demonstration of a phase qubit acting as an on/o® switch for the absorbtion of photons in a probe microwave beam. The switch is controlled by a second control microwave ¯eld. The on/o® states of the qubit are steady states which for suitable values of the control ¯eld can be close enough to dark states. The functioning of the device is based on the Autler-Townes e®ect. A full numerical model up to the ¯fth energy level, including independently- determined parameters for relaxation, dephasing, and cross-couplings, gives excellent agreement with the experiment and allows us to characterize the time-scale for switching.
