Effective JC and anti-JC Interactions via Strong Driving 

The Jaynes-Cummings Model (JCM) approximates the Quantum Rabi Model (QRM) in some regimes and is exactly solvable by only keeping the rotating or `energy-conserving’ terms and dropping the counter-rotating or `non-energy conserving’ terms.

Since the proposal of the JCM, questions on the effect and presence of counter-rotating terms popped up.

Using strong driving, one can induce the effects of the counter-rotating terms on a comparable timescale to the rotating terms. In such a scenario, one can create a Schrödinger cat state in a resonant manner without the need for any type of Kerr nonlinearity.

In this talk, we review the QRM and its descendant, the JCM. Then, we discuss the realization of a Schrödinger cat state, its challenges in practice and how to solve them.
