A Jaynes-Cummings Model with a Landau-Zener Interaction

Abstract

The Jaynes-Cummings Model has been a standard paradigm for light-matter interaction for a few decades. The Lie algebraic properties of the model permits us to solve for the time evolution of a coupled radiation-matter system. In this work we study the model with linear time dependence and show that it is analytically solvable. We use our results to calculate the Mandel Q-parameter which shows how nonclassical the resulting radiation state is.

An analytically solvable time-dependent Jaynes-Cummings model

Ananda Dasgupta

Using the underlying SU (2) algebra of the Jaynes-Cummings model, we construct a time-dependent interaction term that allows analytical solution for even off-resonance conditions. Exact solutions for the time evolution of any state have been found. The effect of detuning on the Rabi oscillations and the collapse and revival of inversion is indicated. It is also shown that at resonance, the time-dependent Jaynes-Cummings model is analytically solvable for an arbitrary interaction term.

Exploring the Solvability of the Jaynes-Cummings and Jaynes-Cummings-like Models: Implementing Quantum Control

Austen Couvertier

In this paper we aim to explore the dynamics and overall solvability of the Jaynes-Cummings \& Jaynes-Cummings-Like models. As a lens to understand these dynamics, we focused on cases where the parameters of the system were made time-dependent. All previous work on solving the dynamics of the Jaynes-Cummings models has relied heavily on the use of differential methods and setting the parameters as time-independent constants which were zero or one. To account for this, we utilized the Wei-Norman method which allowed us to analytical solve the time-dependent Hamiltonian. Through the use of this method, we can understand the more general characteristics of the dynamics associated with the Jaynes-Cummings model. This research related back to the field of Quantum information and control as the model highlights interactions with qubits and our time-dependent parameters can force certain transitions.

Spectral response of a nonlinear Jaynes-Cummings model

L. Medina-Dozal, Alejandro R. Urzúa, D. Aranda-Lozano +3 more

The Jaynes-Cummings quantum optics model allows us to understand the dialogue between light and matter at its most fundamental level, which is crucial for advancements in quantum science and technology. Several generalizations of the model have been proposed, emphasizing their dynamic behavior but paying less attention to their spectroscopy. Here we obtain analytical expressions of the time-dependent spectral response of a nonlinear Jaynes-Cummings model based on deformed field operators. We show that the long-time response of the resulting nonlinear cavity field resembles the one experimentally obtained in the strong-dispersive regime of circuit quantum electrodynamics. The spectrum is intrinsically asymmetric with the nonlinear coupling, a signature of the impossibility of getting resonant conditions for finite field excitations.

A generalized unitary transformation for solving time-independent and time-dependent Jaynes–Cummings models under resonant and selected off-resonance conditions

ANTONINO MESSINA, Hiromichi Nakazato, Antonio S. M. de Castro +4 more

Jaynes–Cummings (JC) models are by far the most widely used to study the dynamics of two-level systems, such as atoms or molecules under suitable conditions, coupled to quantized electromagnetic fields. Nowadays, analytical solutions of JC models are more useful than ever for understanding and controlling radiation-matter interactions relevant to quantum information processing, quantum computing, and other quantum technologies. This study presents the analysis and generalization of a method for the solution of the dynamical problem in the time-independent JC model (Carbonaro et al., 1979) that enables an exact description of the atom-field dynamics in the resonant time-dependent JC model and in a nontrivial class of off-resonance time-dependent JC models. Our analysis produces the ready-to-use forms of the evolution operator in the resonant and non-resonant cases, which are then used to derive the evolution of the atomic population inversion for some types of atom-field coupling. The central idea behind the proposed approach offers opportunities for its extension to other time-dependent cases and its generalization to JC-related models.

Non-Markovian light–matter dynamics in the time fractional Jaynes–Cummings model with modulated coupling

Enrique Chipicoski Gabrick, Thiago Takaji Tsutsui, Danilo Cius +3 more

• A generalized time-dependent Jaynes–Cummings model is investigated within the framework of the time fractional Schr¨odinger equation. • Two distinct fractional formulations are compared, encompassing oscillatory and dissipative non- Markovian dynamics. • Our results shows that fractional order introduces memory effects leading to damped oscillations and asymptotic decay in population inversion and entanglement. • Time-dependent couplings (linear, exponential, and sinusoidal) strongly modulate entanglement generation and decay. • Fractional order acts as a control parameter, preserving non-periodic dynamics under sinusoidal coupling within specific regimes. We investigate the fractional time description of a generalized quantum light-matter system modeled by a time-dependent Jaynes-Cummings (JC) interaction, with different coupling types: constant, linear, exponential, and sinusoidal. Two formulations of the time fractional Schrödinger equation (TFSE) are examined, with a focus on their impact on population inversion and entanglement. Our findings highlight that the introduction of fractional order introduces memory effects, associated with damped oscillations and asymptotic decay. Furthermore, we find that the time-dependent couplings, combined with distinct fractional formulations, influence how these effects occur, ultimately resulting in high or low entanglement. A key finding of our work is that, under sinusoidal coupling, non-periodic dynamics is preserved for both formulations of the TFSE; however, within a certain range, the fractional order can act as a control mechanism for the non-periodic evolution.

ANALYTICAL AND NUMERICAL SOLUTIONS FOR THE TIME EVOLUTION OF THE JAYNES-CUMMINGS MODEL AT ATOMIC AND LIGHT FIELD RESONANCE

Shaohui YAO, Zhaohua XIONG

The Jaynes-Cummings (JC) model is one of the most fundamental models for the interaction between light and matter. In this paper, we first derive the explicit expression for the time evolution operator of the JC model when the light field resonates with a two-level atom. Based on this, we calculate the analytical expressions for the system state and the population of each atomic energy level as a function of time when the two-level atom is initially in a superposition of two energy eigenstates and the light field is in a superposition of three photon number states and a coherent state, respectively. Finally, this paper introduces QuTiP, a useful extension library in Python for quantum mechanics simulation and numerical solution, and uses it to numerically solve the time evolution of this model, obtaining results consistent with the analytical solutions. These computational processes are of great significance in scientific research and university physics teaching.
