Quantum metamaterials extend the idea of classical
metamaterials to a regime where the quantum coherence of the
meta-atoms exceeds the typical propagation time of an impinging wave
through the medium. In recent works, it was proposed that this gives
rise to various collective light-matter interaction effects such as selfinduced
transparency, quasi-superradiant phase transitions and lasing.
Superconducting qubits are strong candidates for an implementation of
meta-atoms in the quantum regime because they feature well controllable properties,
have sub-wavelength dimensions, and are
known to have sufficiently long coherence times.
First implementations of quantum metamaterials
made of arrays of superconducting flux [1] and transmon [2] qubits
were targeted at studying their collective interaction with
a single mode of a microwave resonator. Here, we investigate a
one-dimensional quantum material which consists of an array of
transmon qubits coupled to a continuum of the light
modes in a coplanar waveguide.
