The Rabi Hamiltonian in the dispersive regime

Published Feb 2, 2015• 1 citation

Abstract

The Rabi Hamiltonian is studied in the dispersive regime and ultra-strong coupling. We employ a recent unitary transformation to obtain not only the approximate Hamiltonian and its energy levels but also its eigenfunctions. The relationship of the approximation with other regimes and their approximations are also discussed.

Simpler description of the quantum dynamics in the ultra-strong coupling regime of the Rabi Hamiltonian

Titus Sandu

The Rabi Hamiltonian is characterized by: Ω - the frequency of the transition between the atomic levels, ω - the oscillator frequency, and λ - the coupling between these two subsystems. Even though the Rabi Hamiltonian is quite simple its complete solution is rather complicated and simpler Hamiltonian forms are needed for various regimes of parameters. In the ultra-strong coupling regime of the Rabi Hamiltonian there is a quantum transition point given by λ = √Ωω. In an adiabatic regime this point is also a transition from an adiabatic potential with one minimum to an adiabatic potential with two minima. In this short communication we verify the validity of the approximate adiabatic dynamics around quantum transition point.

Dissipative Rabi model in the dispersive regime

Clemens Müller

This paper presents analytic results on the dispersive regime of the dissipative Rabi model, without taking the rotating wave approximation of the underlying Hamiltonian. The analytic expressions for all dynamical parameters show qualitative differences at intermediate and large detuning, which allows the author to update the model of the interaction between qubits and resonators.

An analytical variational method for the biased quantum Rabi model in the ultra-strong coupling regime

Bin-Bin Mao, Maoxin Liu, Wei Wu +3 more

An analytical variational method for the ground state of the biased quantum Rabi model in the ultra-strong coupling regime is presented. This analytical variational method can be obtained by a unitary transformation or alternatively by assuming the form of the ground state wave function. The key of the method is to introduce a variational parameter λ , which can be determined by minimizing the energy functional. Using this method, we calculate the physical observables with high accuracy in comparison with the numerical exact ones. Our method evidently improves over the widely used general rotating-wave approximation (GRWA) in both qualitative and quantitative aspects.

Dissipation of the Rabi model beyond the Jaynes–Cummings approximation: quasi-degenerate qubit and ultra-strong coupling

Shantanu Agarwal, Seyed Mohammad Hashemi Rafsanjani, Joseph H. Eberly

Environmental influences on the dynamics of a coupled qubit-oscillator system are studied analytically in a regime where deviations from the exactly solvable Jaynes–Cummings model are important. We investigate the case of a quasi-degenerate qubit within the ultra-strong coupling regime for which the qubit frequency is much smaller than the frequency of the oscillator, and the coupling between the qubit and the oscillator is large, both of which invalidate the usually employed rotating wave approximation. In contrast to the standard quantum optics master equation, we explicitly take the qubit-oscillator coupling into account while microscopically deriving a dressed state master equation. Using the derived master equation, we discuss a spectroscopic technique which can be used to probe the dressed energy-level structure of the qubit-oscillator system.

Dispersive regime of the Jaynes–Cummings and Rabi lattice

Guanyu Zhu, Sebastian Schmidt, Jens Koch

Photon-based strongly correlated lattice models like the Jaynes–Cummings and Rabi lattices differ from their more conventional relatives like the Bose–Hubbard model by the presence of an additional tunable parameter: the frequency detuning between the pseudo-spin degree of freedom and the harmonic mode frequency on each site. Whenever this detuning is large compared to relevant coupling strengths, the system is said to be in the dispersive regime. The physics of this regime is well-understood at the level of a single Jaynes–Cummings or Rabi site. Here, we extend the theoretical description of the dispersive regime to lattices with many sites, for both strong and ultra-strong coupling. We discuss the nature and spatial range of the resulting qubit–qubit and photon–photon coupling, demonstrate the emergence of photon-pairing and squeezing and illustrate our results by exact diagonalization of the Rabi dimer.
