Interplay Between Dissipation and Driving in Nonlinear Quantum Systems

By Carmen Vierheilig

In this thesis we investigate the interplay between dissipation and driving in nonlinear quantum systems for a special setup: a flux qubit read out by a DC-SQUID - a nonlinear quantum oscillator. The latter is embedded in a harmonic bath, thereby mediating dissipation to the qubit.
