Description
The Jaynes-Cummings model describes the system of a two-level atom which is interacting with a photon field in a quantum-mechanical framework. We present a Rabi-type experiment that tests this model. Our system comprises the nuclear spin of protons in water and an oscillating magnetic field. We measured the spin-state transition with various numbers of electromagnetic-field quanta involved.
