Introduction
Jonas Larson, Th. K. Mavrogordatos
Abstract
Chapter 1 covers the basic properties of the standard Jaynes–Cummings (JC) model and more: it introduces the models, discusses the JC dynamics, describes driven and open JC models. It goes beyond the rotating wave approximation, and introduces various kinds of extended JC models. These models under certain conditions turn into single-particle lattice problems.
