Application of polaron picture in the two-qubit quantum Rabi model

preprint2019arXivOpen access

Abstract

The polaron picture is employed to investigate and elucidate the physics of the two-qubit quantum Rabi model, which describes two identical qubits coupled to a common harmonic oscillator. This approach enables us to obtain the ground-state energy and some other simpler physical observables with high accuracy in all regimes of the coupling strengths gg, while there is no constraint to the ration of tunneling frequency ΩΩ and field frequency ωω, which is not simultaneously possible using previous methods. Besides, we also discover a new phenomenon which is not present in the one-qubit Rabi model: with the increase of coupling strength gg, there is a transition of the ground state of the system from a multipolaron state to a bipolaron state. However, the tunneling frequency ΩΩ counteracts this process. Specifically, when tunneling frequency Ω=0Ω=0, the system always stays in the bipolaron state.
