  1. On the collapses and revivals in the Rabi Hamiltonian Titus Sandu National Institute for R&D in Microtechnologies, Bucharest, Romania Abstract. The Rabi Hamiltonian describes the interaction between a single two-level system and a single quantized radiation mode and models many phenomena like nuclear spins interacting with magnetic fields, atoms interacting with an electromagnetic field mode, electrons coupled to a crystal lattice phonon mode, superconducting qubits interacting with a nanomechanical resonator, a transmission line resonator, etc. Although the Hamiltonian is quite simple only recently it was exactly solved [1]. Despite its complete resolution approximate but more simple and comprehensible solutions are needed. Such approximations like the rotating wave approximation [2] or more elaborate variants of it [3] are often used. However, as ultra-strong coupling regime is attained (where the coupling strength approaches the energies of the fermionic and bosonic systems) the rotating wave approximation is no longer valid. We will use several unitary transformations that approximate the dynamics of the Rabi Hamiltonian for a coupling strength that is no greater than the detuning between the two-level system and the bosonic field. The collapses and revivals in both sub-systems are discussed and characterized. [1] D. Braak, “Integrability of the Rabi model”, Phys. Rev. Lett., vol. 107, p. 100401, (2011) [2] E. T. Jaynes and F.
