  2. Outline • Time-Dependent Perturbation Theory • Two-Level Problem • The Solution for the Problem • Bloch Vector • The Animations • Acknowledgments • References

  3. Time-Dependent Perturbation Theory , .

  4. Two-Level Problem • To truncate the summation to just two terms single ground and excited state Rabi Frequency Laser Detuning

  5. The Solution for the Problem • Equations: • Solutions:

  6. The Solution for the Problem (2) The probability for the atom to be in the ground and excited state for Ω=γ and δ=γ. Time is in unit of 1/ γ.

  7. Bloch Vector • Its Components:

  8. Bloch Vector (2) • The Bloch vector obeys The vector has the three components:

  9. Animations

  10. Acknowledgments I am very grateful to Professor Metcalf. I got much inspiration in the discussion with him. He is a strict but nice man. He gives much help as possible. I also want to thank to those guys in Prof. Metcalf’s group.
