Effect of Dipole Interaction on the Vacuum Field Rabi Oscillations of Two-level Atoms in an Ideal Cavity

Abstract
We have re-examined the vacuum field Rabi oscillations of two interacting (via dipole–dipole interaction) two-level atoms in an ideal cavity. The analytic expression of the spectrum for such a system in the vacuum field is explicitly derived. We find that the symmetry of the spectrum is lost due to nonzero dipole interaction between atoms.
