DESCRIPTION:Prof. Per Delsing\, Chalmers University of Technology\, Sweden
 . Director of the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology. Per is a membe
 r of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (KVA)\, and of the Royal Academ
 y of Engineering Sciences (IVA). He is also a Distinguished Professor appo
 inted by the Swedish Research Council (VR)\, Fellow of the American Physic
 al Society (APS) and a Wallenberg Scholar.\nSuperconducting circuits can b
 e used as artificial atoms and I will discuss how they can be used to stud
 y new physics. In particular\, I will show how artificial atoms can be use
 d to study vacuum fluctuations by placing the atom in front of a mirror an
 d how they can be used to generate nonclassical states of microwaves. I wi
 ll also show how these atoms can be coupled to sound such that they decay 
 by emitting single phonons instead of single photons. Sound coupled atoms 
 can also act as giant atoms\, which leads to new physics in terms of large
  Lamb shifts and non-exponential decay.
