Large two-atom two-photon vacuum Rabi oscillations in a high quality cavity

Quantum Physics 2009-11-10 v3

Abstract

We predict large cooperative effect involving two atom two photon vacuum Rabi oscillations in a high quality cavity. The two photon emission occurs as a result of simultaneous de-excitation of both atoms with two photon resonance condition ω1+ω2ωa+ωb\omega_1+\omega_2\approx \omega_a+\omega_b, where ω1\omega_1, ω2\omega_2 are the atomic transition frequencies and ωa\omega_a, ωb\omega_b are the frequencies of the emitted photons. The actual resonance condition depends on the vacuum Rabi couplings. The effect can be realized either with identical atoms in a bimodal cavity or with nonidentical atoms in a single mode cavity.
