Dynamical stabilization of spin systems in time-dependent magnetic fields

2011

The quantum dynamics of a spin system subjected to a Rabi magnetic field configuration modified by a weak oscillating field along the Z-axis is investigated. We show that when the Rabi frequency is appropriately matched with the frequency of the perturbative field, the spin system exhibits a dynamical stabilization phenomenon defined as the tendency to occupy a fixed quantum superposition during a finite period of time.
