A problem with the analytic solution to Rabi oscillation of a two-level system
Rabi oscillation of a two-level system is colloquially discussed in textbooks about quantum mechanics (especially quantum optics), so I think I'm good with just stating the results.
The Hamiltonian is ...

Phase accumulation in Rabi driving
When a single-qubit gate is operated by Rabi driving for a time $t$, the resulting operator is equivalent to
$ \hat{O} = R_z(\omega t) R_x(\Omega t)$
where $\omega$ is the frequency of the driving ...

AC Stark shift in a 3 level system
If we have a 2 level system and I send a laser on resonance, when working in the dressed atom description, each level gets split by $\pm\Omega$ i.e. the Rabi frequency of the laser. Now if we send a ...
