Driving-induced bistability in the Jaynes-Cummings model — •Vittorio Peano1, Vicente Leyton Ortega2, and Michael Thorwart3,1 — 1Universität Düsseldorf — 2Universidad del Valle, Cali (Colombia) — 3FRIAS, Universität Freiburg
As a consequence of nonlinearity and external driving, the generalized Jaynes-Cummings model exhibits a dynamical bistability. This can be conveniently investigated by introducing a quasipotential in phase space. We study the dissipative dynamics in this bistable quasipotential by means of a simple Markovian master equation and we interpret the results in terms of a quasiclassical analysis. We prove the existence of a metastable squeezed amplitude state and find resonant and antiresonant behavior of the lineshape in correspondence to multiphoton transitions. They are due to a sizeable occupation of the metastable state. We discuss similarities to the quantum Duffing oscillator [1] and also explain the lineshape of the recently observed vacuum Rabi supersplittings [2] in the superconducting transmon qubit set-up.
