• Title: Few-cycle excitation of atomic coherence: A closed-form analytical solution beyond the rotating-wave approximation
• Authors: Nazar Pyvovar, Bing Zeng, and Lingze Duan
• Abstract summary: We present an approximate, closed-form solution to the Schrodinger equation that describes a two-level atom under the excitation of a far-off-resonance, few-cycle pulse of arbitrary shape without invoking the rotating wave approximation (RWA) We outline an alternative approach that can lead to a more accurate solution by capturing the nonlinear behaviors of the system.

• Abstract: Developing an analytical theory for atomic coherence driven by ultrashort laster pulses has proved to be challenging due to the breakdown of the rotating wave approximation (RWA). In this paper, we present an approximate, closed-form solution to the Schrodinger equation that describes a two-level atom under the excitation of a far-off-resonance, few-cycle pulse of arbitrary shape without invoking the RWA. As an example of its applicability, an analytical solution for Gaussian pulses is explicitly given. Comparisons with numerical solutions validate the accuracy our solution within the scope of the approximation. Finally, we outline an alternative approach that can lead to a more accurate solution by capturing the nonlinear behaviors of the system.

  We solve the dynamics analytically by employing tools from symplectic geometry. We find that the squeezing present in the full Hamiltonian and in the initial state governs the deviation from the approximated evolution. We also show that the rotating wave approximation is recovered for resonant frequencies and vanishing coupling to frequency ratio.

  Unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (non-unitary) dynamics. We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function. We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.
