The Jaynes-Cummings Model (JCM) has recently received increased attention as one of the simplest, yet intricately nonlinear, models of quantum physics.
Using the physics of the JCM as a common denominator, this book links together various fields of modern physics, including cavity and circuit quantum electrodynamics, light-mediated Bose-Einstein condensation and related phenomena, optomechanics, quantum phase transitions out of equilibrium, quantum computation and manipulation, relating them to the underlying theoretical principles and experimental evidence gathered over the recent decades.
Emphasising the omnipresence of the JCM across a range of disciplines, this comprehensive review conveys to the reader the fundamental generality of its formalism, looking at a wide range of applications in specific physical systems and across disciplines including atomic physics, quantum optics, solid-state physics and quantum information sciences. Having presented a complete summary of the field, the book expands the existing literature by introducing the most recent interpretations and applications of the theory.
An ideal reference for researchers in quantum physics and quantum optics, the book also comprises an accessible introduction for students engaged with non-equilibrium quantum phase transitions, quantum computing and simulation, and quantum many-body physics.
