Description

We propose a protocol for the generation of effective universal nonlinear Kerr Hamiltonians in a collective-spin system coupled to bosonic modes of a cavity QED apparatus. We expand the effective collective spin Hamiltonian beyond the second-order term (the well-studied one-axis-twisting) and map it to an effective Kerr Hamiltonian using the Holstein-Primakoff transformation. We give examples of systems that can be simulated with this protocol.
