• Abstract: The goal of this chapter is to compare the predictions of the semiclassical Rabi model (SRM), which describes the interaction between a two-level system (qubit) and a classical monochromatic wave, and the quantum Rabi model (QRM), under the assumption that the cavity field is initiated in a coherent state with a large average number of photons, ranging from 5K to 40K. First, we show that for a strong atom-field coupling, when the duration of the $\pi $-pulse (the time interval required to completely excite or deexcite the qubit in the resonant regime) is below $100\omega ^{-1}$, the behaviour of the atomic excitation probability deviates significantly from the textbook sinusoidal formula derived for the SRM under the rotating-wave approximation, and we present simple analytical and semi-analytical methods to describe more accurately the dynamics. Then we show that the QRM reproduces the qubit's dynamics predicted by the SRM only for initial times, since in the QRM the qubit excitation probability exhibits a collapse behaviour even in the lossless scenario; we also notice that the qualitative behaviour of such collapses is different from the ones occurring in the dissipative SRM. In the rest of this work we study numerically the backreaction of the qubit on the cavity field and the resulting atom--field entanglement, which are disregarded in the SRM. It is shown that the atom-field entanglement increases over time and a maximally entangled state is attained for large times. Moreover, we illustrate how the Rabi oscillations continuously modify the quantum state of the cavity field, which becomes increasingly different from the original coherent state as the time increases.

We showcase the method by simulating global quantum quenches in the paradigmatic Transverse-Field Ising model in both 1D and 2D.
