Motivated by recent “circuit QED” experiments [1,2] we investigate the properties of coherently driven nonlinear resonators. By using Josephson junctions in superconducting circuits, strong nonlinearities can be engineered, which lead to the appearance of pronounced quantum effects with a low number of photons in the resonator.
Based on a master equation approach we determine the emission spectrum and observe for typical circuit QED parameters, in addition to the primary side-peaks, second-order peaks which are
not predicted by a linearized theory. These peaks result from transitions between next-to-nearest levels in the rotating frame and from fluctuations of the oscillation amplitude. We show that an effective Planck constant provides a measure for the importance of the quantum effects.
