Pulsed Rabi oscillations in quantum two-level systems: beyond the Area Theorem

Kevin A. Fischer, Lukas Hanschke, Malte Kremser +3

The Area Theorem states that when a short optical pulse drives a quantum two-level system, it undergoes Rabi oscillations in the probability of scattering a single photon. In this…
