text: Recent advancements in superconducting circuits have enabled the experimental
study of collective behavior of precisely controlled intermediate-scale ensembles
of qubits. In this work, we demonstrate an atomic frequency comb formed by individual
artificial atoms strongly coupled to a single resonator mode. We observe periodic
microwave pulses that originate from a single coherent excitation dynamically
interacting with the multiqubit ensemble. We show that this revival dynamics emerges
as a consequence of the constructive and periodic rephasing of the five superconducting
qubits forming the vacuum Rabi split comb. In the future, similar devices could
be used as a memory with in situ tunable storage time or as an on-chip periodic
pulse generator with nonclassical photon statistics.

text: The ability to control the direction of scattered light is crucial to provide
flexibility and scalability for a wide range of on-chip applications, such as
integrated photonics, quantum information processing, and nonlinear optics. Tunable
directionality can be achieved by applying external magnetic fields that modify
optical selection rules, by using nonlinear effects, or interactions with vibrations.
However, these approaches are less suitable to control microwave photon propagation
inside integrated superconducting quantum devices. Here, we demonstrate on-demand
tunable directional scattering based on two periodically modulated transmon qubits
coupled to a transmission line at a fixed distance. By changing the relative phase
between the modulation tones, we realize unidirectional forward or backward photon
scattering. Such an in-situ switchable mirror represents a versatile tool for
intra- and inter-chip microwave photonic processors. In the future, a lattice
of qubits can be used to realize topological circuits that exhibit strong nonreciprocity
or chirality.
