Parameters of a driven Jaynes–Cummings Hamiltonian

Abstract

Each parameter in a driven Jaynes–Cummings (JC) model of a cavity system is specified in terms of experimental parameters, such as the transmission coefficient of the mirrors, the length of the cavity, and the intensity of the input coherent field. For this purpose, linear and the third-order nonlinear spectra are calculated from the driven JC model, and the results are compared with those from the universe-mode approach which enables us to treat experimental parameters in a straightforward manner. Although the relationships of the parameters are obtained in the high- Q cavity regime, they are also applicable in the low- Q cavity regime.

Full spectrum of nonlinear Jaynes–Cummings and anti-Jaynes–Cummings models

Francesco Antonino Raffa, Mario Rasetti

The unitary transformation method is utilized for the closed form solution of the nonlinear generalization of the Jaynes–Cummings (JC) model, which includes arbitrary multiphoton and intensity-dependent interactions between radiation and matter. Specifically, the unitary transformation leading to the diagonalization of the relevant Hamiltonian is established and energy levels and eigenstates are derived. It is also shown that the results for the JC model can be extended to the anti-Jaynes–Cummings (AJC) model through the map between the two models.

Incoherent excitation of the Jaynes-Cummings system

L. Tian, H. J. Carmichael

The authors calculate scattered, transmitted and reflected spectra for a coupled two-level atom and quantized electromagnetic cavity mode driven by broad-band chaotic light. They obtain analytical results in the secular approximation and compare these with exact numerical results. Under cavity QED conditions (strong dipole coupling) the spectra show multiple resonances at the incommensurate transition frequencies of the Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian. They obtain expressions for linewidths and transition amplitudes that help them to assess the prospects for an experimental observation of these Jaynes-Cummings resonances.

The Physical Spectrum of a Driven Jaynes–Cummings Model

L. Medina-Dozal, Alejandro R. Urzúa, I. Ramos-Prieto +4 more

We analyze the time-dependent physical spectrum of a driven Jaynes-Cummings model in which both the two-level system and the quantized cavity mode are subject to coherent classical driving. The time-dependent Hamiltonian is mapped, via well-defined unitary transformations, onto an effective stationary Jaynes-Cummings form. Within this framework, we derive closed-form expressions for the two-time correlation functions of both the atomic and field operators. These correlation functions are subsequently used to evaluate the time-dependent physical spectrum according to the Eberly-Wódkiewicz definition, which properly accounts for finite spectral resolution and transient emission dynamics. We show that the external driving leads to substantial modifications of the atomic spectral response, including controllable frequency shifts and asymmetric line shapes. Importantly, we identify a regime in which the driving parameters are chosen such that the coherent displacement induced in the cavity field exactly cancels out the initial coherent amplitude. In this limit, the system dynamics reduce to that of an effectively vacuum-initialized Jaynes-Cummings model, and the standard vacuum Rabi splitting is recovered. This behavior provides a clear and physically transparent interpretation of the spectral features as arising from coherent field displacement rather than from modifications of the underlying atom-cavity coupling.

The Jaynes–Cummings model beyond the rotating-wave approximation as an intensity-dependent model: quantum statistical and phase properties

M. H. Naderi

In this paper, we investigate various dynamical properties of the Jaynes–Cummings (JC) model beyond the rotating wave approximation (RWA). We first show that in the absence of the RWA, the JC Hamiltonian can be transformed into an intensity-dependent Hamiltonian. Corrections produced by the counter-rotating terms (CRTs) appear in the first order as the intensity-dependent detuning, i.e. the dynamical Stark shift and in the second order as the intensity-dependent atom–field coupling. Then, by determining the atom–field wavefunction evolution, we study the effects of CRTs on various dynamical properties of the JC model, including the atomic population inversion, atomic dipole squeezing, atomic entropy squeezing, photon counting statistics, quadrature field squeezing, field entropy squeezing and quantum phase properties of the cavity field.

Generalized Jaynes-Cummings models with a time-dependent atom-field coupling

Amitabh Joshi, S. V. Lawande

An extension of the standard one-photon as well as the two-photon Jaynes-Cummings (JC) model has been done to include transient effects due to a modulation of the atom-field coupling coefficient. An explicit time dependence is given for the case of a linear sweep of the coupling parameter. We have shown the effects of such a sweep on the dynamical evolution of a two-level atom undergoing a one- or two-photon process in a single nondecaying mode of the field in a coherent state. The statistical aspects of the field, such as intensity-intensity correlation and squeezing, are also investigated and are found to be both qualitatively as well as quantitatively different from the standard JC models.

Algebraic treatment of the time-dependent Jaynes–Cummings Hamiltonian including nonlinear terms

Sergio Cordero, J. Récamier

A generalization of the time-dependent Jaynes–Cummings Hamiltonian is considered including nonlinear terms in the field and/or an intensity-dependent coupling term. Using algebraic methods we find the corresponding time evolution operator of the problem as a product of exponential operators. Also, we study the effect of the atomic motion in the cavity on its quantum state. We found that, when the atom is vibrating classically with a small amplitude A0 (in comparison with the effective length of the cavity L), i.e. A0 ≪ L, the effects of the atom’s motion are negligible but when A0 ∼ L/4, the state of the atom changes drastically. Our study is devoted to a Jaynes–Cummings Hamiltonian with an additional Kerr medium.
