We present a mean-photon-number dependent variational method, which works well in whole coupling regime if the photon energy is dominant over the spin-flipping, to evaluate the properties of the Rabi model for both the ground state and the excited states. For the ground state, it is shown that the previous approximate methods, the generalized rotating-wave approximation (only working well in the strong coupling limit) and the generalized variational method (only working well in the weak coupling limit), can be recovered in the corresponding coupling limits. The key point of our method is to tailor the merits of these two existing methods by introducing a mean-photon-number dependent variational parameter. For the excited states,our method yields considerable improvements over the generalized rotating-wave approximation. The variational method proposed could be readily applied to the more complex models, for which an analytic formula is difficult to be formulated.

General solutions to the quantum Rabi model involve subspaces with unbounded number of photons. However, for the multiqubit multimode case, we find special solutions with at most one photon for arbitrary number of qubits and photon modes. Unlike the Juddian solution, ours exists for arbitrary single qubit-photon coupling strength with constant eigenenergy. This corresponds to a horizontal line in the spectrum, while still being a qubit-photon entangled state. As a possible application, we propose an adiabatic scheme for the fast generation of arbitrary single-photon multimode W states with nonadiabatic error less than 1%. Finally, we propose a superconducting circuit design, showing the experimental feasibility of the multimode multiqubit Rabi model.
An analytical variational method for the ground state of the biased quantum Rabi model in the ultra-strong coupling regime is presented. This analytical variational method can be obtained by a unitary transformation or alternatively by assuming the form of ground state wave function. The key point of the method is to introduce a variational parameter $lambda$, which can be determined by minimizing the energy functional. Using this method, we calculate physical observables with high accuracy in comparison with the numerical exact one. Our method evidently improves the results from the widely used general rotating-wave approximation (GRWA) in both qualitative and quantitative ways.
We employ a polaron picture to investigate the properties of the two-photon quantum Rabi model (QRM), which describes a two-level or spin-half system coupled with a single bosonic mode by a two-photon process. In the polaron picture, the coupling in the two-photon process leads to spin-related asymmetry so that the original single bosonic mode splits into two separated frequency modes for the opposite spins, which correspond to two textit{bare} polarons. Furthermore, the tunneling causes these two bare polarons to exchange their components with each other, thus leading to additional textit{induced} polarons. According to this picture, the variational ground-state wave function of the two-photon QRM can be correctly constructed, with the ground-state energy and other physical observables in good agreement with the exact numerics in all the coupling regimes. Furthermore, generalization to multiple induced polarons involving higher orders in the tunneling effect provides a systematic way to yield a rapid convergence in accuracy even around the difficult spectral collapse point. In addition, the polaron picture provides a distinctive understanding of the spectral collapse behavior, that is about the existence of discrete energy levels apart from the collapsed spectrum at the spectral collapse point. This work illustrates that the polaron picture is helpful to capture the key physics in this nonlinear light-matter interaction model and indicates that this method can be applicable to more complicated QRM-related models.
In this paper, we derive the symmetry operators ($J$s) in the asymmetric two-photon quantum Rabi models in terms of Bogoliubov operator approaches. $ J^2$ can be expressed as a polynomial in terms of the Hamiltonian, which uncovers the $mathbb{Z}_{2}$ nature of the hidden symmetry in this two-photon model rigorously. The previous symmetry operators in the asymmetric one-photon quantum Rabi models are reproduced readily in terms of Bogoliubov operator approaches, and the obtained operators are expressed much more concisely. It is found that the polynomial degree of $J^2$ in the two-photon model is twice of that in the one-photon model.
We present an analytical method for the two-qubit quantum Rabi model. While still operating in the frame of the generalized rotating-wave approximation (GRWA), our method further embraces the idea of introducing variational parameters. The optimal value of the variational parameter is determined by minimizing the energy function of the ground state. Comparing with numerical exact results, we show that our method evidently improves the accuracy of the conventional GRWA in calculating fundamental physical quantities, such as energy spectra, mean photon number, and dynamics. Interestingly, the accuracy of our method allows us to reproduce the asymptotic behavior of mean photon number in large frequency ratio for the ground state and investigate the quasi-periodical structure of the time evolution, which are incapable of being predicted by the GRWA. The applicable parameter ranges cover the ultrastrong coupling regime, which will be helpful to recent experiments.
