Initial states of qubit-boson models leading to conserved quantities

Abstract

It is possible to prepare a composite qubit-environment system so that its time evolution will guarantee the conservation of a preselected qubit's observable. In general, this observable is not associated with a symmetry. The latter may not even be present in the subsystem. The initial states which lead to such a quantity conserved dynamics form a subspace of the qubit-environment space of states. General construction of this subspace is presented and illustrated by two examples. The first one is the exactly soluble Jaynes-Cummings model and the second is the multi-photon Rabi model.
