Exact solvability of the quantum Rabi model using Bogoliubov operators

Within extended coherent states, a recent exact solution to the quantum Rabi model (QRM) [D. Braak, Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 100401 (2011)] can be recovered in an alternative simpler and more physical way, without use of any extra conditions. In the same framework, the two-photon QRM is solved exactly by treating extended squeezed states on an equal footing. Concise transcendental functions responsible for the exact solutions are derived. The isolated Juddian solutions are also analytically obtained in terms of degeneracy. Both the extended coherent states and squeezed states employed here are essentially Fock states in the space of the corresponding Bogoliubov operators, which result in free-particle number operators. The present approach can be summarized concisely in a unified way and easily extended to various spin-boson systems with multiple levels, even multiple modes.
