Jaynes-Cummings Spectrum

A two-level atom coupled to a single cavity mode (coupling g) forms dressed states |n,±⟩ split by 2g√n. The vacuum Rabi splitting (n=0→1) gives two peaks at ω₀ ± g, and higher photon-number rungs are anharmonically spaced — a hallmark of quantum nonlinearity.

g/ω₀ (coupling) 0.100
δ (detuning/ω₀) 0.00
κ (linewidth/ω₀) 0.020
n_max (rungs) 4
