Theory and Applications of Josephson Photomultipliers

This thesis describes the back action of microwave-photon detection via a Josephson photomultiplier (JPM), a superconducting qubit coupled strongly to a high-quality mi- crowave cavity, and the applications of these devices. The back action operator depends qualitatively on the duration of the measu...
