Renormalisation group flow of the Jaynes-Cummings model
arXiv:2005.06485 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.125.130402
Abstract
The Jaynes-Cummings model is a cornerstone of light-matter interactions. While finite, the model provides an illustrative example of renormalisation in perturbation theory. We show, however, that exact renormalisation reveals a rich non-perturbative structure, and that the model provides a physical example of a theory with a chaotic coupling trajectory and multi-valued beta-function. We also construct an exact Wilsonian-like renormalisation group flow for the effective scattering matrix, and show how multi-valued features arise in the flow. Our results shed light on non-perturbative aspects of renormalisation and on the structure of the Jaynes-Cummings model itself.
