Coupling different kind of superconducting (sc) qubits to on-chip microwave resonators has strongly advanced the field of circuit QED. Regarding the application of circuit QED systems in quantum information processing it would be highly desirable to switch on and off the interaction between two resonators. We introduce a formalism for two-resonator circuit QED where two on-chip microwave resonators are simultaneously coupled to one sc qubit. In this three-circuit network, the qubit mediates a geometric and a dynamic second-order interaction between the two resonators [1]. These two coupling strengths can be tuned to be equal by varying the qubit operation point, thus permitting to switch on and off the interaction between the resonators. We discuss the effect of the qubit on the dynamic second-order coupling and how it can be deliberately manipulated to realize a sc quantum switch. Finally, we present a realistic design for implementing a two-resonator circuit QED setup based on a flux qubit and show preliminary experimental results. This work is supported by SFB 631 and NIM.
