Solution of the two-mode quantum Rabi model using extended squeezed states

Abstract

The two-mode quantum Rabi model with bilinear coupling is studied using extended squeezed states. We derive G-functions for each Bargmann index q. They share a common structure with the G-function of the one-photon and two-photon quantum Rabi models. The regular spectrum is given by zeros of the G-function while the conditions for the presence of doubly degenerate (exceptional) eigenvalues are obtained in closed form through the lifting property. The simple singularity structure of the G-function allows to draw conclusions about the distribution of eigenvalues along the real axis and to understand the spectral collapse phenomenon when the coupling reaches a critical value.
