Near-resonant ac-drive acting on a two-level system induces the Rabi oscillations of the level occupations. It is shown that additional weak drive properly frequency-detuned from the primary drive causes a resonant response. This response…

The act of measurement bridges the quantum and classical worlds by projecting a superposition of possible states into a single, albeit probabilistic, outcome. The time-scale of this "instantaneous" process can be stretched using weak…
A vast collection of light-matter interactions are described by the single-frequency Rabi model. However, the physical world is polychromatic, and until now there is no general method to find analytic solutions to the multi-frequency Rabi…
We explore the quantum-classical crossover in the behaviour of a quantum field mode. The quantum behaviour of a two-state system - a qubit - coupled to the field is used as a probe. Collapse and revival of the qubit inversion form the…
Non-resonant dressing fields can make the transition frequency between two circular Rydberg states insensitive to second order variations in the dc electric field. Perturbation theory can be used to establish the required dressing field…

The Rabi model, a two-level atom coupled to a harmonic oscillator, can undergo a second-order quantum phase transition (QPT) [M. -J. Hwang et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 180404 (2015)]. Here we show that the Rabi QPT accompanies critical…
While the manipulation of quantum systems is significantly developed so far, achieving a single-source multi-use system for quantum-information processing and networks is still challenging. A virtual state, a so-called ``dressed state," is…
