RIKEN, NEC Corporation, and JST (“Japan Science and Technology Agency”) have successfully demonstrated a laser emission from one artificial atom by coupling superconducting quantum bits (“qubits”) to a resonator. The lasing effect was achieved by an extremely simple system - a single “atom” coupled to a resonator - and represents a world first in the use of a superconducting qubit as an artificial atom to generate lasing photons.
