The system experiences a sudden transition from an uncorrelated state to an increasingly correlated one as the qubit-oscillator coupling strength is varied and increased past a critical point. This singular behaviour occurs in the limit where the oscillator's frequency is much lower than the qubit's frequency; away from this limit one obtains a finite-width transition region. By analyzing the energy-level structure, the value of the oscillator field and its squeezing and the qubit-oscillator correlation, we gain insight into the nature of the transition and the associated critical behaviour.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-12-25T07:35:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "42.50.Nn", "64.70.Tg", "42.50.Pq" ], "keywords": [ "single qubit", "single oscillator", "superradiance transition", "single harmonic oscillator", "finite-width transition region" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review A", "year": 2013, "month": "Jan", "volume": 87, "number": 1, "pages": "013826" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013PhRvA..87a3826A" } } }
