RWA CRTs
□ Jaynes-Cummings (JC) model (1963) under the rotating-wave approximation (RWA) is analytically solvable. The counter rotating terms (CRTs) is omitted
The Rabi model (RM) describes the simplest interaction between light and matter.
Although this model has had an impressive impact on many fields of physics --- many physicists may be surprised to know that the quantum Rabi model has never been solved exactly. In other words, it has not been possible to write a closed-form, analytical solution for it

Its solutions recover exactly all eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the model for all coupling strengths and detunings.

R. Koc et al., J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 35, 9425(2002).
A recent work by Braak has renewed the interest in the old problem of coupling a photon field to a single spin 1/2 state, using the Rabi model. The central statement of this work is that the eigenfunctions in Bargmann representation must be analytic functions in the entire complex plane. Based on this condition, a procedure is derived from the series expansion of the eigenstates which provides a recursive evaluation of the spectrum. …
In the following, it is shown that the use of the extra condition of analyticity of the eigenfunction in Bargmann representation is not necessary.
Travenec: PRA 85, 043805 (2012)
Nevertheless, there are disputes on whether the term exact solvability should be used, if the G functions are given only by some Taylor expansions with coefficients coming from a recurrence scheme. In my opinion, the word integrability should be left rather for models where a sufficient number of integrals of motion are known, which is not the case for Rabi models.

Braak, PRL 2011
□ Within extended coherent states, a recent exact solution to the quantum Rabi model [Daniel Braak, Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 100401(2011)] can be recovered in an alternative simpler and more physical way, without uses of any extra conditions.
Dear Qinghu,
Many thanks for your interesting paper on the derivation of the G-function for the generalized Rabi model. Your method is certainly simpler than my approach, which was based on symmetry considerations,......
The question is: how do you justify this condition of proportionality which in turn gives the spectrum? In the Bargmann space approach it is the condition of analyticity throughout the whole complex plane which determines whether a stateis an element of the Hilbert space or not - and this leads together with Z_2-symmetry to the G-function. What corresponds to the Bargmann condition in your approach? .
Best regards,
Danielthe extra condition is covered in the vacuum state in the spaceof the Bogoliubov operators. These vacuum states are well definedand known as the coherent states, so the present derivation is morephysical and simpler.
The Juddian solutions originate from the properties of degeneracy
□ Both Hilbert spaces in the two Bogoliubov operators are complete, if truncation is not done, the proportionality is justified naturally for non-degenerate states.
□ Koc et al in J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 35, 9425(2002) have obtained isolatedexact solutions in the QRM, which are just the Juddian solutionswith doubly degenerate eigenvalues.
The degenerate eigenstates are excluded in principle in the solutions based on the proportionality. It naturally follows that the Juddian solutions are exceptional ones
is not analytic in x but has simple poles at x=0,1,2….
All exceptional eigenvalues have the form En=n-g2
the necessary and sufficient condition for the occurrence of this eigenvalue is fn(x)=0

□ Enrique Solano called on in viewpoint Physics 4, 68 (2011): An intense dialogue between mathematics and physics will be needed to describe and predict unprecedented physical phenomena, since they might be hidden in the quantum numbers associated with Braak’s integrability criterion and analytical expressions. Otherwise, the present achievement will remain but a mathematical monologue.

It can be encouraged to extended to various spin-boson systems with multi-level, even multi-mode.
◇ Eliminating the ratio constant of these wavefunctions will give the transcendental functions, which would be defined through power series in model parameter dependent quantities with coefficients related recursively.
◇ Finally, zeros of these transcendental functions would give the eigenvalues exactly, where numerical solutions to the one-variable (or finite variables in other multi-level systems for example) nonlinear equation must be required.

Summary for, Shu He, Yu-Yu Zhang, and QHC et al, arXiv: 1204.0953
◇ We extend the GRWA to the finite-bias case. The results is much better than VVP in the weak and intermediate coupling regime, which is more experimentally interesting.
◇ At the experimentally accessible coupling regime, the dynamics of the qubit by GRWA can always work well, but VVP theory is not valid in the present-day experimentally interesting coupling regime, except for very large static biases.
◇ For ε=0, the GRWA is further improved to BRWA, which is more close to the exact ones at large detuning while the GRWA deviates strongly.

The original RWA results [from only two bare states] are missed or lost in these approaches, so the effects of counter rotating-wave terms are not clear!

Although vevry accurate solutions can be obtained, the infinite ‘bare’ states should be involved!

Only two ‘bare’ states under RWA
We are not interested in the more accurate solutions with infinite ‘bare’ states now What emerges first beyond the RWA?

Wavefunction with even (odd) parity
The parity is not considered by Swain, so he developed a continued fraction approach very complicated!
First approximation
They are just the RWA energy levels
Transforming back to the original frame gives
which are just the eigenstates under the RWA
The second order approximation the resonant case δ=0
◇ m = 2k with even parity and m = 2k + 1 with odd parity
◇ m = 2k+1 with even parity and m = 2k with odd parity
◇ Unified expressions RWA results
Applications I: vacuum Rabi splitting
◇ Our analytical results for the main peak height agree excellently with the exact ones in a wide coupling regime (0 < g < 0.2).
Peak distance
Applications I: Berry phase
The GS Berry phase: Plastinaet al, EPL 76, 182 (2006).
◇ the analytical Berry phase in the second-order approximation agrees quite well with the exact ones for a wide coupling regime(0 < g < 0.5).
□ by the bosonic Fock space and parity symmetrythe analytical results are presented at different stages:
◇ The first approximation in the present formalism reproduces exactly the RWA results. ◇ The effect of the CRTs emerges clearly just in the second order approximation. they play dominant role g <= 0.2, CQED: gmax = 0.12
□ Effects of CRTs on various phenomena in the ultra-strong coupling regime. Analytical results to the vacuum Rabi splitting and the Berry phase agree well with the exact ones in a wide coupling regime.
