Noise in a dynamical open quantum system: coupling a resonator to an artificial atom

The subject of this thesis is the study of a particular open quantum system consisting of a resonator coupled to a superconducting single electron transistor (SSET). The theoretical model we use is applicable to both mechanical and superconducting stripline resonators leading to a large parameter re...
