Wave packet Rabi oscillations from phase-space flow in mesoscopic cavity QED

Quantum Physics 2009-11-13 v1

Abstract

The dynamics of the Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian is studied in the semiclassical limit by reducing it to quantum normal form and deriving the phase space dynamics of classically smooth observables. The resulting systematic semiclassical approximation is used to analyze the Rabi oscillations of a photon wave packet revealing subtle consequences of the uncertainty principle.
