Vacuum-Field Rabi Splittings in Microwave Absorption by Rydberg Atoms in a Cavity Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The absorption spectrum of a system of N atoms interacting with a single mode of the quantized radiation field is exactly calculated. Such a spectrum shows vacuum-field Rabi splittings, and thus microwave absorption by Rydberg atoms in a cavity should be a useful way to observe these splittings. 1984 The American Physical Society.
