This discussion focuses on simulating the behavior of a two-level quantum system driven by a laser, specifically analyzing transition probability versus laser frequency while accounting for both laser and atomic linewidths. The recommended tool for this simulation is Qutip, which allows for numerical solutions of the Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian. Participants express interest in understanding how to incorporate laser linewidth into the Hamiltonian and density matrix framework, despite challenges in achieving an analytical solution.
PREREQUISITESQuantum physicists, researchers in quantum optics, and anyone interested in simulating laser interactions with atomic systems will benefit from this discussion.
Thank you for this! I never used Qutip before, but it looks great! Do they give details about the physics behind it, too? In particular, I would like to know how to include the laser linewidth in the Hamiltonian/density matrix approach, even if I am not able to solve it analytically.f95toli said:Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian solved numerically using Qutip
