Rabi Oscillation of Exciton Dressed by Phonons In a Quantum Dot

The effect of strong exciton-phonon interaction on the excitonic Rabi oscillations in a coherently driven quantum dot in a high-Q single mode cavity is investigated theoretically. We show that the Rabi oscillation of exciton dressed by phonons can persists with the Rabi frequency ge^-λ/2 at absolute zero temperature, where g is the single-photon Rabi frequency and λ is the Huang-Rhys factor. The results also present that such coherent oscillations can be modified by manipulating the Rabi frequency of the driving field.     

Transport characteristics of Rabi oscillations in the two-band superlattices

We investigated the transport characteristics of Rabi oscillations, by using numerical methods, within a two-band tight-binding model driven by dc－ac electric fields. We found that Rabi oscillations make the long-time average current a sharply change, i.e. the current have resonant peaks appearing. Rabi oscillations are destroyed by dephasing; these peaks are the signatures of Rabi oscillations on the current response. The strong interband coupling will change the conditions of Rabi oscillations and, correspondingly, changes the places where the current resonant peaks appear.

Rabi Oscillations in Two-Component Bose-Einstein Condensates with a Coupling Drive

The Rabi oscillations in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates with a coupling drive are studiedby means of a pair of bosonic operators. The coupling drive and initial phase difference will affect the amplitudeand the period of the Rabi oscillations. The Rabi oscillations will vanish in the evolution of the condensate densityfor some special initial phase differences (ψ = 0 or π). Our theory provides not only an analytical framework forquantitative predictions for two-component condensates, but also gives an intuitive understanding of some mysteriousfeatures observed in experiments and numerical. simulations.

Coherent Hole-burning, Mollow Absorption Effect, and Four-wave Mixing in Cycling Transition Fe=0(←→)Fg=1 Subject to a Magnetic Field

We investigate the quantum coherence effects of a cycling transition Fe=0(←→)Fg=1, which is saturated and probed by the circular polarized fields, and is subject to a linearly polarized field and a magnetic field.Saturation field is applied in the case of the maximum coherence between the drive Rabi frequency and magnetic field, corresponding to the electromagnetically induced absorption (EIA) with negative dispersion found by Gu et al.In a small saturation Rabi frequency, the holes are burned in two Autler-Towns peaks outside two symmetric electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) windows due to the two-photon resonance.When the saturation Rabi frequency is comparable with the drive Rabi frequency, the holes caused by the coherent population oscillation appear in the EIA spectrum.Continuing to increase the saturation Rabi frequency, we observe several emission peaks due to the Mollow absorption effects.Simultaneously, four-wave mixing (FWM) effects in this process are discussed.In the picture of dressed states, we explain the multi-peaks of quantum efficiency of FWM in terms of the multi-photon resonance conditions.We also find a good agreement between the absorption peaks and the FMW peaks.Finally, whenever EIA, EIT, or Mollow absorption happens, the dispersion at the pump-probe detuning center is kept to be negative with increasing the saturation Rabi frequency.It means that this point is suitable to perform the superluminal light propagation experiments.

准Λ型四能级系统中的超窄谱线的研究

在一般Λ型三能级模型的基础上提出准Λ型四能级系统,并对准Λ型四能级模型的共振荧光谱作了详尽的研究.从上能级向两边下能级辐射的自发辐射谱中产生了三个超窄谱线,且在很大参数范围内光谱具有这一特性.三个超窄谱线的产生是和两个相干驱动场的Rabi 频率密切相关,在较大的Rabi 频率作用下谱线会变得更窄,而当只有一个驱动场作用时是不会产生谱线变窄效应的.能级间的碰撞弛豫和非相干激发严重地破坏了谱线变窄.这种超窄谱线效应是多通道量子干涉的结果.     

Rabi oscillations of optical modes in a waveguide with dynamic modulation

We investigate the optical Rabi oscillations in a dual-mode slab waveguide that undergoes a spatial–temporal refractive index modulation. Frequency conversion is induced during Rabi oscillations since dynamic modulation is employed. We also show that the contrast of Rabi oscillations can be controlled by the initial phase of dynamic modulation, which can be tuned arbitrarily from zero to unity as the phase varies. The contrast of zero corresponds to the dynamic supermodes and unity refers to complete Rabi oscillations. It suggests that the phase can be a new degree of freedom to control optical Rabi oscillations. This study may find applications in optical sensors, switches and mode converters.

Interplay of Rabi oscillations and quantum interference in semiconductor quantum dots

We investigated the manifestation of Rabi oscillation in the coherent dynamics of excitons in self-assembled semiconductor quantum dots. The Rabi oscillation phenomenon was directly observed as a function of the input pulse area. Furthermore, by performing wave packet interferometry in the nonlinear excitation regime, we discover a new type of quantum interference phenomenon, resulting from the interplay between Rabi oscillation and quantum interference.     

Rabi waves and Rabi wavepackets in one-dimensional quantum dot chain: Excitation,propagation, reflection

We theoretically investigate the spatial propagation of Rabi oscillations (Rabi waves) in one-dimensional inhomogeneous quantum dot (QD) chain. QD-chain is modeled by the set of two-level quantum systems with tunnel coupling between neighboring QDs. The space propagation of Rabi waves in the form of traveling waves and localized wave packets is considered. It is shown, that the propagation of Rabi waves is accompanied by the transfer of the inversion and quantum correlations along the QD-chain and by their reflection and mutual transformations at the spatial inhomogeneities of QE-chain. The effect is potentially applicable in quantum nanooptics and quantum informatics.

Rabi flopping in a two-level system with a time-dependent energy renormalization: intersubband transitions in quantum wells

We obtain pulse-driven Rabi oscillations guided by a generalization of the rotating-wave approximation to include, in the optical-Bloch equations, two-level systems with a time-varying transition energy. We achieve this by using chirped pulses with the central frequency given by the time-varying transition energy. Using this approach, we predict Rabi oscillations in intersubband transitions in a two-subband n-type modulation-doped quantum well by taking into account the time-dependent intersubband energy-gap renormalization due to depolarization-shift effects. We obtain Rabi oscillations for jpi (j=0,1,2, ) pulses in the presence of dephasing.     

Excitonic Rabi oscillations in a quantum dot: local field impact

The influence of local fields on the excitonic Rabi oscillations in an isolated, arbitrary shaped quantum dot (QD) has been theoretically investigated. QD interaction with both a classical electromagnetic field and quantum light has been considered. In the classical light, time harmonic and ultrashort pulse excitations are analyzed. The general formalism has been formulated for quantum light and applied to the case of a Fock qubit. Noticeable modification of the Rabi oscillation dynamics induced by the local fields is predicted to be observable in QDs exposed to both classical and quantum light. In particular, the bifurcation and anharmonism in the Rabi oscillations have been revealed under time harmonic excitation and a dependence of the Rabi oscillation period on the QD depolarization has been obtained.     

Ground state of the asymmetric Rabi model in the ultrastrong coupling regime

We study the ground states of the single- and two-qubit asymmetric Rabi models, in which the qubit–oscillator coupling strengths for the counterrotating-wave and corotating-wave interactions are unequal. We take the transformation method to obtain the approximately analytical ground states for both models and numerically verify its validity for a wide range of parameters under the near-resonance condition. We find that the ground-state energy in either the single- or two-qubit asymmetric Rabi model has an approximately quadratic dependence on the coupling strengths stemming from different contributions of the counterrotating-wave and corotating-wave interactions. For both models, we show that the ground-state energy is mainly contributed by the counterrotating-wave interaction. Interestingly, for the two-qubit asymmetric Rabi model, we find that, with the increase in the coupling strength in the counterrotating-wave or corotating-wave interaction, the two-qubit entanglement first reaches its maximum and then drops to zero. Furthermore, the maximum of the two-qubit entanglement in the two-qubit asymmetric Rabi model can be much larger than that in the two-qubit symmetric Rabi model.
