A semiconductor nanowire quantum dot with strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) can be used to achieve a spin-orbit qubit. In contrast to a spin qubit, the spin-orbit qubit can respond to an external ac electric field, an effect called electric-dipole spin resonance. Here we develop a theory that can apply in the strong SOC regime. We find that there is an optimal SOC strength η(opt)=√2/2, where the...

Hybrid quantum systems based on spin-ensembles coupled to superconducting microwave cavities are promising candidates for robust experiments in cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) and for future technologies employing quantum mechanical effects. In particular the electron spins hosted by nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond. The main source of decoherence in this systems is inhomogeneous dipola...

We have exactly solved a model of equidistant cascade four-level system interacting with a single-mode radiation field both semiclassically and quantum mechanically by exploiting its similarity with Jaynes-Cummings model. For the classical field, it is shown that the Rabi oscillation of the system initially in the first level (second level) is similar to that of the system when it is initially ...

In this paper we generalize the Jaynes–Cummings Hamiltonian by making use of some operators based on Lie algebras su(1,1) and su(2), and study a mathematical structure of Rabi floppings of these models in the strong coupling regime. We show that Rabi frequencies are given by matrix elements of generalized coherent operators (quant–ph/0202081) under the rotating–wave approximation. In the first ...

In this paper the dynamics of wave fields in a cavity with one sinusoidally moving mirror are investigated. The wave equation is solved approximately using the method of multiple time scales. Frequency shifts as well as amplitude and phase modulations of cavity modes are given. In all cases when it is possible, an approximate effective field Hamiltonian operator is derived. In the adiabatic cas...

One-dimensional laser cooling based on velocity-selective coherent population trapping ~VSCPT! has been investigated numerically through the solution of the optical Bloch equations and through a Monte Carlo analysis. The 1→1 and 2→2 transitions have been examined as a function of the atomic recoil frequency, the spontaneous-emission decay rate, and the Rabi frequency of the cooling laser. It ha...

We propose a mechanism to explain the nature of the damping of Rabi oscillations with an increasing driving-pulse area in localized semiconductor systems and have suggested a general approach which describes a coherently driven two-level system interacting with a dephasing reservoir. Present calculations show that the non-Markovian character of the reservoir leads to the dependence of the depha...

We show how to produce a fast quantum Rabi model with trapped ions. Its importance resides not only in the acceleration of the phenomena that may be achieved with these systems, from quantum gates to the generation of nonclassical states of the vibrational motion of the ion, but also in reducing unwanted effects such as the decay of coherences that may appear in such systems.
