Multiplication of qubits in a doubly resonant bichromatic field

Abstract

Multiplication of spin qubits arises at double resonance in a bichromatic field when the frequency of the radio-frequency (rf) field is close to that of the Rabi oscillation in the microwave field, provided its frequency equals the Larmor frequency of the initial qubit. We show that the operational multiphoton transitions of dressed qubits can be selected by the choice of both the rotating frame and the rf phase. In order to enhance the precision of dressed qubit operations in the strong-field regime, the counter-rotating component of the rf field is taken into account.
