Multi-photon Rabi oscillations in the presence of the classical noise in a quantum nonlinear oscillator (2312.01070v1)

Abstract: We consider the model of a single-mode quantum nonlinear oscillator with the fourth (Kerr) and sixth (over-Kerr) orders of nonlinearity in the presence of fluctuations of the driving field. We demonstrate that the presence of the amplitude noise does not significantly affect the multi-photon Rabi transitions for the Kerr oscillator, and, in contrast, suppresses these oscillations for the over- Kerr oscillator. We explain the suppression of multi-photon transitions in the over-Kerr oscillator by quasienergy fluctuations caused by noise in field amplitude. In contrast, for the Kerr oscillator, these fluctuations cancel each other for two resonant levels due to the symmetry in the oscillator quasienergy spectrum.
