text: 'Reaching a high cavity population with a coherent pump in the strong-coupling
regime of a single-atom laser is impossible due to the photon blockade effect.
In this Letter, we experimentally demonstrate that in a single-atom maser based
on a transmon strongly coupled to two resonators, it is possible to pump over
a dozen photons into the system. The first high-quality resonator plays the role
of a usual lasing cavity, and the second one presents a controlled dissipation
channel, bolstering population inversion, and modifies the energy-level structure
to lift the blockade. As confirmation of the lasing action, we observe conventional
laser features such as a narrowing of the emission linewidth and external signal
amplification. Additionally, we report unique single-atom features: self-quenching
and several lasing thresholds.'
