Efficient basis for the Dicke Model II: wave function convergence and excited states

Abstract

An extended bosonic coherent basis has been shown by Chen et al to provide numerically exact solutions of the finite-size Dicke model. The advantages in employing this basis, as compared with the photon number (Fock) basis, are exhibited to be valid for a large region of the Hamiltonian parameter space and many excited states by analyzing the convergence in the wave functions.
