Quantum trajectory simulations of two-state behavior in an optical cavity containing one atom
L. Tian, H. J. Carmichael · Physical Review A · 1992
Under conditions of strong dipole coupling an optical cavity containing one atom behaves as a two-state system when excited near one of the ``vacuum'' Rabi resonances. A coherent driving field induces a dynamic Stark splitting of the ``vacuum'' Rabi resonance. We demonstrate this two-state behavior in computer experiments based on quantum trajectory simulations.
