How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.
Jaynes–Cummings invariant blocks and Rabi frequency
An exact conditional calculation for the single-mode, two-level rotating-wave model on the full infinite-dimensional oscillator Fock space. The excitation blocks and self-adjoint direct-sum realization are model deductions. The usual weak-coupling rotating-wave scale condition is not uniform over all Fock states; no continuum spontaneous-emission law, detector observation, or laboratory identification is asserted.
Statement
Take the one-mode, two-level specialization of the finite-mode assignment and use its SI convention with in joule-seconds. Let be the selected angular frequency in seconds, let have orthonormal states , and choose in seconds, in coulomb-metres, and in volts per metre. Set , , , and . Choose and ; then the dipole expression has energy units. Define the real coupling in seconds. Retaining from the dipole expression just the excitation-exchange terms and gives coefficient . Thus the rotating-wave Hamiltonian below is a specified specialization of the model assignment, not an independently measured interaction.
Let be the infinite-dimensional one-mode bosonic Fock space with occupation basis , , and operators , on the finite-particle core. Write and for the identity operators on the atomic and field factors, respectively. Define . For this rotating-wave model, whose usual scale applies only to the photon-number sectors under study and is not uniform over the full Fock space, set on the finite-particle core of . The Hamiltonian is the exact operator for the selected rotating-wave model; no error bound relative to the unapproximated dipole interaction is asserted.
The total excitation operator is conserved on that core. The ground line is invariant. For each , the subspace is invariant and the restriction has matrix Its eigenvalue splitting is . Define the full Hamiltonian to act on the ground line by and as the orthogonal direct sum of the on the , with squared-block-norm domain This direct-sum operator is self-adjoint and extends .

Facts & Assumptions
Given: The finite one-mode model data , , , the product Hilbert space , the finite-particle core, and the rotating-wave Hamiltonian specified in the Statement.
The finite-mode light–matter assignment declares the one-mode frequency, two-level atom, SI-unit conventions, Hermitian dipole matrix, and rotating-wave option. The choices and make the exchange coefficient in the Statement exactly the retained part of the dipole expression. The RWA scale applies only on the stated low-excitation sectors; no approximation error or continuum-emission limit is supplied (Finite-mode dipole and detector assignment, Dimensions, SI unit conventions and quantity types of the framework).
Carry AC and as the finite-mode assignment and Fock/domain suppliers' mathematical assumptions; they are not physical laws. The self-adjointness proof uses for the stated Fock/domain results (The Axiom of Choice, The Axiom of Countable Choice ()).
On the one-mode occupation basis, , , , and are orthonormal (Fixed-mode number law).
The one-mode Fock space is a Hilbert direct sum, the finite-particle subspace is dense, and its closed creation and annihilation operators have the stated domains and adjoint relations under (Closed adjoint sector domains).
The completed ordered Hilbert tensor product has the product orthonormal basis; atom and field operators act on separate factors and commute on the algebraic core (Hilbert tensor construction: inner product, completion and product bases).
Proof
On the finite-particle core, and by [F1], while and . Therefore and . The free terms commute with , so on the core.
The vectors and have excitation eigenvalues and , respectively. Applying the displayed ladder actions [F1] to each basis vector shows , , and . The product occupation basis [F3] consists exactly of and these pairs: occurs in the pair indexed by , while with occurs in the pair indexed by . They are mutually orthogonal and exhaust the space. Hence the displayed subspaces are invariant blocks with matrix .
Write . The traceless matrix has characteristic polynomial , so its eigenvalues are . Their difference gives the stated splitting.
Each block matrix and the ground-line scalar are Hermitian. Finite-support vectors are dense by [F2] and lie in the stated domain. If with adjoint value , testing against vectors supported in the ground line and each individual block gives and . Since is square-summable, , so and . Conversely, for , Cauchy–Schwarz makes the block inner-product series absolutely convergent, and the Hermitian block identities give . Hence and equality holds. The direct-sum operator is self-adjoint, and its restriction to finite-support vectors is .
Remarks
The indexed blocks form an orthogonal decomposition by total excitation, not a finite-dimensional approximation of the full Fock space. The RWA inequality above is a model-validity scale for specified sectors, not a uniform bound on omitted counter-rotating terms.
