Strong Coupling Theory of Two Level Atoms in Periodic Fields

arXiv:physics/9906029 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.84.2112

Abstract

We present a new convergent strong coupling expansion for two-level atoms in external periodic fields, free of secular terms. As a first application, we show that the coherent destruction of tunnelling is a third-order effect. We also present an exact treatment of the high-frequency region, and compare it with the theory of averaging. The qualitative frequency spectrum of the transition probability amplitude contains an effective Rabi frequency.
