Enhancing light-matter coupling for exploring chaos in the quantum Rabi model

TL;DR

This paper introduces a method using anti-squeezing transformation to effectively simulate deep-strong light-matter coupling in the quantum Rabi model, enabling easier experimental exploration of quantum chaos.

Findings

Chaos phenomena are similar to the ideal QRM in the transformed model

The method allows deeper chaotic regimes without ultra-strong coupling

Numerical probes confirm the effectiveness of the coupling-enhanced platform

Abstract

Accessing chaos in the quantum Rabi model (QRM) usually requires operating far from resonance, combined with ultra- or deep-strong light-matter coupling. This makes direct experiments challenging. In this manuscript, we propose a solution to this challenge by employing an anti-squeezing transformation to the bosonic field. Specifically, we demonstrate that this transformation maps a weakly coupled, two-photon driven Jaynes-Cummings model (JCM) to an effective deep-strong-coupling QRM in the squeezed-light frame. Using out-of-time-order correlator, Husimi distribution, and linear entanglement entropy, we numerically probe chaos in this coupling-enhanced platform and observe the similar chaotic phenomena as in the ideal QRM. We also find the coupling-enhanced model can drive the system deeper into the chaotic regime. This establishes coupling-enhanced method as a practical approach to study QRM chaos without requiring intrinsic ultra-strong coupling.
