Description: 
Artificial atoms (AA) offer the possibility to design physical systems implementing new regimes of ultrastrong coupling (USC) between radiation and matter, where previously unexplored non-perturbative physics emerges. While experiments so far provided only spectroscopic evidence of USC, we propose the dynamical detection of virtual photon pairs in the dressed eigenstates, which is a "smoking gun" of the very existence of USC in nature. We show how to coherently amplify this channel to reach 100% efficiency by operating advanced control similar to stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP).
