The Jaynes-Cummings model (JCM) is studied in the absence of the rotating-wave approximation (RWA) by a coherent-state expansion technique. In comparison with the previous paper in which the coherent-state expansion was performed only to the third order, we carry out in this paper a complete expansion to demonstrate exactly the dynamics of the JCM without the RWA. Our study gives a systematic method to solve the non-RWA problem, which would be useful in various physical systems, e.g., in a system with an ultracold trapped ion experiencing the running waves of lasers.
Spectral properties of spin-wave excitations in the Mott-Hubbard antiferromagnet are studied in the intermediate-coupling regime, wherein extended-range spin couplings are present in the equivalent spin-1/2 Heisenberg model. A systematic expansion in powers of
t2/
U2 is developed for the spin-wave propagator in the random-phase approximation, and its quantitative usefulness is investigated. In two dimensions the spin-wave density of states exhibits a peak structure, resembling the broadening effect of spin-wave damping. Implications for recent light-pair scattering experiments in
La2CuO4 wherein the complete spin-wave spectrum is accessible in principle, are discussed.
