We study in detail the relationship between the Tavis-Cummings Hamiltonian of quantum optics and a family of quasi-exactly solvable Schrodinger equations. The connection between them is stablished through the biconfluent Heun equation. We found that each invariant $n$-dimensional subspace of Tavis-Cummings Hamiltonian corresponds either to $n$ potentials, each with one known solution, or to one potential with $n$-known solutions. Among these Schrodinger potentials appear the quarkonium and the sextic oscillator.
We theoretically study the conditions under which two laser fields can undergo Coherent Perfect Absorption (CPA) when shined on a single-mode bi-directional optical cavity coupled with two two- level quantum emitters (natural atoms, artificial atoms, quantum dots, qubits, etc.). In addition to being indirectly coupled through the cavity-mediated field, in our Tavis-Cummings model the two quantum emitters (QEs) are allowed to interact directly via the dipole-dipole interaction (DDI). Under the mean-field approximation and low-excitation assumption, in this work, we particularly focus on the impact of DDI on the existence of CPA in the presence of decoherence mechanisms (spontaneous emission from the QEs and the leakage of photons from the cavity walls). We also present a dressed-state analysis of the problem to discuss the underlying physics related to the allowed polariton state transitions in the Jaynes-Tavis-Cummings ladder. As a key result, we find that in the strong-coupling regime of cavity quantum electrodynamics, the strong DDI and the emitter-cavity detuning can act together to achieve the CPA at two laser frequencies tunable by the inter-atomic separation which are not possible to attain with a single QE in the presence of detuning. Our CPA results are potentially applicable in building quantum memories that are an essential component in long-distance quantum networking.
We extend the class of QM problems which permit for quasi-exact solutions. Specifically, we consider planar motion of two interacting charges in a constant uniform magnetic field. While Turbiner and Escobar-Ruiz (2013) addressed the case of the Coulomb interaction between the particles, we explore three other potentials. We do this by reducing the appropriate Hamiltonians to the second-order polynomials in the generators of the representation of $SL(2,C)$ group in the differential form. This allows us to perform partial diagonalisation of the Hamiltonian, and to reduce the search for the first few energies and the corresponding wave functions to an algebraic procedure.
The theory of non-Hermitian systems and the theory of quantum deformations have attracted a great deal of attention in the last decades. In general, non-Hermitian Hamiltonians are constructed by a textit{ad hoc} manner. Here, we study the (2+1) Dirac oscillator and show that in the context of the $kappa$--deformed Poincare-Hopf algebra its Hamiltonian is non-Hermitian but having real eigenvalues. The non-Hermiticity steams from the $kappa$-deformed algebra. From the mapping in [Bermudez textit{et al.}, Phys. Rev. A textbf{76}, 041801(R) 2007], we propose the $kappa$-JC and $kappa$--AJC models, which describe an interaction between a two-level system with a quantized mode of an optical cavity in the $kappa$--deformed context. We find that the $kappa$--deformation modifies the textit{Zitterbewegung} frequencies and the collapse and revival of quantum oscillations. In particular, the total angular momentum in the $z$--direction is not conserved anymore, as a direct consequence of the deformation.
A new type of supersymmetric transformations of the coupled-channel radial Schroedinger equation is introduced, which do not conserve the vanishing behavior of solutions at the origin. Contrary to usual transformations, these ``non-conservative transformations allow, in the presence of thresholds, the construction of potentials with coupled scattering matrices from uncoupled potentials. As an example, an exactly-solvable potential matrix is obtained which provides a very simple model of Feshbach-resonance phenomenon.
We derive an analytical approximate solution of the time-dependent state vector in terms of material Bell states and coherent states of the field for a generalized two-atom Tavis-Cummings model with nonlinear intensity dependent matter-field interaction. Using this solution, we obtain simple expressions for the atomic concurrence and purity in order to study the entanglement in the system at specific interaction times. We show how to implement entangling atomic operations through measurement of the field. We illustrate how these operations can lead to a complete Bell measurement. Furthermore, when considering two orthogonal states of the field as levels of a third qubit, it is possible to implement a unitary three-qubit gate capable of generating authentic tripartite entangled states such as the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state and the W-state. As an example of the generic model, we present an ion-trap setting employing the quantized mode of the center of mass motion instead the photonic field, showing that the implementation of realistic entangling operations from intrinsic nonlinear matter-field interactions is indeed possible.
