TL;DR

This paper investigates Rabi oscillations in coherent and squeezed coherent states through one- and two-photon atomic transitions, highlighting how squeezing reduces photon numbers and affects revival phenomena.

Contribution

It introduces a method to analyze Rabi oscillations in squeezed states using the Jaynes-Cummings model, focusing on photon number reduction and revival control.

Findings

Squeezing coherent states reduces photon numbers to mesoscopic scales.

Maximizing squeezing narrows the revival region.

Numerical solutions are feasible for mesoscopic photon numbers.

Abstract

We determine the Rabi oscillations for coherent and squeezed coherent states via one- and two-photon atomic transitions in two- and three-level atoms, respectively. The effect of squeezing coherent states is to reduce the large number of photons of mesoscopic scale to fewer photons and so be able to use numerical solutions with the aid of the Jaynes-Cummings model. We maximize the squeezing of the coherent state by minimizing the ratio of the photon number variance to photon number, thus narrowing the region where revival occurs.
