Counter-rotating Contributions in the Jaynes-Cummings Model

Simon J. D. Phoenix

Published Sep 1, 1989• 35 citations
Publisher

Abstract

We present several perturbative approaches to the Jaynes-Cummings model of optical resonance with the counter-rotating terms included. We find that there exists a hitherto overlooked phase-dependence of the atomic inversion which is due to an interference between the rotating wave and counter-rotating contributions.

Many-atom Jaynes-Cummings model without rotating-wave approximation

JOSIP SEKE

The contribution of the counter-rotating terms in the many-atom Jaynes-Cummings model is examined. Numerical results for the time evolution and time averages of the atomic population inversion for various numbers of atoms and different initial fields (Fock and coherent-state fields) are presented. The results demonstrate the significance of the counter-rotating terms.

Multiphoton Jaynes-Cummings Model without the Rotating-wave Approximation

Mao-Fa Fang, Peng Zhou

The general time evolution of operators in the multiphoton Jaynes-Cummings model without the rotating-wave approximation is obtained. The contributions of the counter-rotating terms to atomic dynamics and field squeezing are examined in multiphoton processes.

Conditions under which the Jaynes-Cummings model becomes inapplicable

Wei Guo

It is well known that, under the rotating-wave approximation, the Rabi Hamiltonian, which describes the interaction between a two-level atom and a single field mode, reduces to the Jaynes-Cummings model through exclusion of its counter-rotating term. In this work, it is found that, since photons in the mode are indistinguishable, there exist two conditions where the counter-rotating term can never be ignored. These conditions, all subject to the requirements that the atom-mode coupling is weak and the atom is initially in its ground state, are obtained in the stationary perturbation theory and confirmed through an analysis of the atom-mode system's evolution.

Dynamical renormalization of the Jaynes-Cummings model

Mark J. Fernée, P. D. Drummond

The effect of counter-rotating terms on the Jaynes-Cummings model of a two-level atom is studied. The technique of dynamical renormalization is used to generate a hybrid gauge which exists between the d.E and p.A gauges. The resulting truncated Hamiltonian including counter-rotating type terms has an interaction that couples the atomic inversion to the field intensity. This Hamiltonian is exactly soluble, resulting in a phase-dependent inversion, together with simultaneous frequency and refractive-index shifts.

JOSIP SEKE

The significant influence of the counter rotating terms on the squeezing in the Jaynes–Cummings model is demonstrated. Numerical results for the time evolution of the atomic population inversion, and atomic and field squeezing parameters for initially coherent and squeezed fields are presented.

Jaynes-Cummings model:Counter rotating effect on the vacuum Rabi splitting and atom-cavity dynamics

Yuyu Zhang, Qing‐Hu Chen, Shi-Yao Zhu

he effect of the counter-rotating terms in the Jaynes-Cummings model is investigated with an extended coherent-state approach. The counter-rotating terms greatly modify the vacuum Rabi splitting. Two peaks with different heights in the weak coupling regime and more than two peaks in the intermediate coupling regime are predicted. The collapses and revivals in the evolution of the atomic population inversion disappear in the intermediate coupling regime, but reappear in the strong coupling regime. This reappearance is similar to that under the rotating-wave approximation, attributed to the summation of periodic cosine functions of the evolution.
