Numerical study of the radiation-matter interaction quantum systems through the time-dependent Schrödinger dynamics

Abstract

Obtaining exact solutions to the Schrödinger equation in complex quantum systems poses significant challenges. In this context, numerical methods emerge as valuable tools for analyzing such systems. This article proposes a numerical approach using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method, implemented in Python, to tackle radiation-matter interaction systems. This methodology is applicable to various Hamiltonians, including that of the Jaynes-Cummings model. The accuracy of the numerical results is validated by comparing them with analytical solutions in simplified cases, demonstrating its effectiveness in studying quantum systems where exact solutions cannot be derived.
