rates t/2pi = 0.8MHz to quantify disorder in
individual cavity frequencies. The observed disorder is consistent with small
imperfections in fabrication. We studied the dependence of the disorder on
transmission line geometry and used our results to fabricate devices with
disorder less than two parts in 10^4. The normal mode spectrum of devices with
a high photon hopping rate t/2pi = 31MHz shows little effect of disorder,
rendering resonator arrays a good backbone for the study of condensed matter
physics with photons.
Low-Disorder Microwave Cavity Lattices for Quantum Simulation with Photons
We assess experimentally the suitability of coupled transmission line
resonators for studies of quantum phase transitions of light. We have measured
devices with low photon hopping
