This master's thesis experimentally evaluates a possible broadband single microwave photon generation method proposed by Sathyamoorthy et al. (1). The method uses a superconducting artificial atom at the end of a transmission line. The single microwave photon is generated by exciting the atom with a coherent π-pulse. When the atom relaxes back to the ground state a single photon is emitted. An unbalanced beam-splitter is used to isolate the single photon from the remaining part of the coherent signal. The elimination of the coherent part is based on destructive interference with another coherent signal at the output of the beam-splitter. In this project the method is implemented in the microwave domain using a directional coupler and a transmon qubit that is capacitively coupled to the end of a 1D transmission line. In the first part of the project, the transmon qubit at the end of the transmission line is characterized by performing different reflection measurements to retrieve the relaxation rate, the pure dephasing rate, the charging energy and the maximum Josephson energy of the transmon qubit. In the second part of the project, two different cancellation methods are tested at room temperature. The results show that we can cancel a 100 ns Gaussian pulse by -30 dB. The second cancellation method, using a frequency modulated pulse form, is easy to characterize which makes it a good method to work with in future experiments. Due to limitations of the microwave instruments and characteristics of our sample, a real single photon measurement could not be done. But a similar measurement with larger pulse lengths demonstrated that the output energy stayed constant regardless of the input energy, which one would expect from a single photon generator, and that the output had an oscillating pattern with a frequency that increased with the input energy. The microwave signals employed in this project had a frequency of around 5 GHz. (1) S. Sathyamoorthy, Phys. Rev. A 93, 063823 (2016)
