Abstract
We consider the dynamics and stationary regime of a capacitively shunted transmon-type qubit in front of a mirror. The qubit is affected by probe and dressing signals. By varying the parameters of these signals and then analyzing the probe signal (reflected by the ``atom plus mirror'' system), it is possible to explore the system dynamics, which can be described by the Bloch equation. The obtained time-dependent occupation probabilities are related to the experimentally measured reflection coefficient. The study of this type of dynamics opens up new horizons for better understanding the ``qubit plus mirror'' circuit properties and the underlying physical processes, such as Landau-Zener-St\"uckelberg-Majorana transitions.
