Abstract

An exact analytic solution is presented for coherent resonant excitation of a two-state quantum system driven by a time-dependent pulsed external field with a hyperbolic-secant shape in the presence of dephasing. Analytic results are derived for the amplitude and phase shift of the damped Rabi oscillations.

Exact solution of the Bloch equations for the nonresonant exponential model in the presence of dephasing

Kaloyan N. Zlatanov, G. S. Vasilev, Peter A. Ivanov +1 more

An exact analytic solution is presented for a two-state quantum system driven by a time-dependent external field with an exponential temporal shape in the presence of dephasing. In the absence of dephasing the model reduces to the well-known Demkov model originally introduced in slow atomic collisions. The solution is expressed in terms of the generalized hypergeometric function ${}_{1}{F}_{2}(a;{b}_{1},{b}_{2};x)$. Various limiting cases are examined in the limits of weak and strong dephasing, strong driving field, and exact resonance.

Exact Solutions of the Bloch Equations to the Asymmetric Hyperbolic Cosine Pulse with Chirped Frequency

Sofiane Grira, Nadia Boutabba, Hichem Eleuch

In this research study, we derive the exact solutions of the Bloch equations describing the dynamics of a two-level atom with dephasing. In the two-level atom, a strong laser pump couples a ground state to an upper excited state with a time-dependent Rabi-frequency. The exact solutions are given for the atomic population inversion and the real and imaginary parts of the coherence while the input pulse is an asymmetric hyperbolic cosine form. Additionally, the system is under a chirped detuning. The method of solving the Bloch equations analytically is a very tedious part of the research, and as far as we know, there are few exact solutions available in this field. Hence, our solutions might be of great interest to various research areas, including nuclear magnetic resonance, where analytical solutions to the Bloch equations play a major role in the study of the information on the state of the medium as determined by the NMR signals.

Complete population inversion by a phase jump: an exactly soluble model

Nikolay V. Vitanov

An exact analytic solution to the time-dependent Schrödinger equation is presented for a two-state quantum system coherently driven by a nonresonant pulsed external field. The pulse has a hyperbolic-secant shape, with a sign jump (i.e. a phase step of π) at its maximum, which nullifies the overall pulse area. It is shown that off resonance, for detunings larger than the pulse bandwidth, the transition probability approaches unity as the field intensity increases. The population inversion is robust against small-to-moderate variations in the detuning and the intensity, a feature reminiscent of adiabatic passage. The population inversion, however, is not of adiabatic nature; it is induced by δ-function-shaped nonadiabatic coupling with an area of nearly π. An estimate of the required experimental resources shows that implementation with shaped femtosecond pulses is feasible.

Coherent excitation of two-state system by a Lorentzian filed

G. S. Vasilev, Nikolay V. Vitanov

This work presents an analytic description of the coherent excitation of a two-state quantum system by an external field with a Lorentzian temporal shape and a constant frequency. An exact analytical solution for the differential equation of the model is derived in terms of Confluent Heun functions. Also a very accurate analytic approximation to the transition probability is derived by using the Dykhne-Davis-Pechukas approach. This approximation provides analytic expressions for the frequency and amplitude of the probability oscillations.

Non-Markovian damping of Rabi oscillations in semiconductor quantum dots

Dmitri S. Mogilevtsev, A.P. Nisovtsev, S. Ya. Kilin +3 more

A systematic investigation is performed on the damping of Rabi oscillations induced by an external electromagnetic field interacting with a two-level semiconductor system. We have considered a coherently driven two-level system coupled to a dephasing reservoir and shown that, to explain the dependence of the dephasing rate on the driving intensity, it is essential to consider the non-Markovian character of the reservoir. Moreover, we have demonstrated that intensity-dependent damping may be induced by various dephasing mechanisms due to stationary as well as non-stationary effects caused by coupling with the environment. Finally, present results are able to explain a variety of experimental measurements available in the literature.
