Anomalous Rabi oscillations in multilevel quantum systems

Quantum Physics 2018-04-04 v1

Abstract

We show that the excitation probability of a state within a manifold of levels undergoes Rabi oscillations with frequency determined by the energy difference between the states and not by the pulse area for sufficiently strong pulses. The observed dynamics can be used as a procedure for robust state preparation as an alternative to adiabatic passage and as a useful spectroscopic method.
