text: Any two state system can be modeled as a two-level atom. This leads to many systems being described as an "Artificial Atom". For instance a superconducting loop which can create a magnetic flux passing through it can act as an artificial atom as the current can induce a magnetic flux in either direction through the loop depending on whether the current is clockwise or counterclockwise.
  The hamiltonian for this system is described as  where .
  This models the dipole interaction of the atom with a 1-D electromagnetic wave.
  It is easy to see that this is truly analogous to a real two-level atom due to the fact that the fluorescence appears in the spectrum as the Mollow triplet, precisely like a true two-level atom. 
  These artificial atoms are often used to explore the phenomena of quantum coherence. This allows for the study of squeezed light which is known for creating more precise measurements. It is difficult to explore the resonance fluorescence of squeezed light in a typical two-level atom as all modes of the electromagnetic field must be squeezed which cannot easily be accomplished. In an artificial atom, the number of possible modes of the field is significantly limited allowing for easier study of squeezed light. In 2016 D.M. Toyli et al., performed an experiment in which two superconducting parametric amplifiers were used to generate squeezed light and then detect resonance fluorescence in artificial atoms from the squeezed light. Their results agreed strongly with the theory describing the phenomena. The implication of this study is it allows for resonance fluorescence to assist in qubit readout for squeezed light. The qubit used in the study was an aluminum transmon circuit that was then coupled to a 3-D aluminum cavity. Extra silicon chips were introduced to the cavity to assist in the tuning of resonance to that of the cavity. The majority of the detuning that did occur was a result of the degeneration of the qubit over time.
