Multi-photon Rabi oscillations in the presence of the classical noise in a quantum nonlinear oscillator

We consider the model of a single-mode quantum nonlinear oscillator with the fourth (Kerr) and sixth (over-Kerr) orders of nonlinearity in the presence of fluctuations of the driving field. We demonstrate that the presence of the amplitude noise does not significantly affect the multi-photon Rabi transitions for the Kerr oscillator, and, in contrast, suppresses these oscillations for the over- Kerr oscillator. We explain the suppression of multi-photon transitions in the over-Kerr oscillator by quasienergy fluctuations caused by noise in field amplitude. In contrast, for the Kerr oscillator, these fluctuations cancel each other for two resonant levels due to the symmetry in the oscillator quasienergy spectrum.

The symmetry in the model of two coupled Kerr oscillators leads to simultaneous multi-photon transitions

We consider the model of two coupled oscillators with Kerr nonlinearities in the rotating-wave approximation. We demonstrate that for a certain set of parameters of the model, the multi-photon transitions occur between many pairs of the oscillator states simultaneously. Also, the position of the multi-photon resonances does not depend on the coupling strength between two oscillators. We prove rigorously that this is a consequence of a certain symmetry of the perturbation theory series for the model. In addition, we analyse the model in the quasi-classical limit by considering the dynamics of the pseudo-angular momentum. We identify the multi-photon transitions with the tunnelling transitions between the degenerate classical trajectories on the Bloch sphere.
