Jaynes-Cummings model

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jaynes-Cummings model describes the system of a two-level atom coupled to a single cavity mode, with or without the presence of light. It is a model system that is prevalent in the literature on quantum optics. Exact and approximate solutions exist for a variety of theoretically and practically relevant systems.
