In this notebook, the usage of `QuantumToolbox.sesolve` and `QuantumToolbox.mesolve` will be demonstrated with Jaynes-Cummings model to observe Rabi oscillations in the isolated case and the dissipative case. In dissipative case, a bosonic environment would interact with the cavity and two-level atom in JC model.

Jaynes-Cummings (JC) model, a simplest quantum mechanical model for light-matter interaction, describes an atom interacting with an external electromagnetic field. To simplify the interaction, JC model considered a two-level atom interacting with a single bosonic mode (or you can consider it a single-mode cavity).

For the case of JC model being isolated, i.e., no interaction with the surrounding environment, the time-evolution is governed solely by Schrödinger equation $\hat{H}|\psi(t)\rangle = \partial_t|\psi(t)\rangle$. Using `QuantumToolbox.sesolve` is ideal for pure state evolution.

In contrast to isolated evolution, a factual system interacts with its surrounding environments, resulting in energy/particle exchange. We are currently interested in observing JC model's Rabi oscillation with the addition of interaction with the external thermal field.

Follow the aforementioned RWA and the standard procedure of [Born-Markovian approximation](https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Open_Quantum_Systems/The_Quantum_Optical_Master_Equation), we obtain $\kappa$, the cavity dissipation rate, and $\gamma$, the atom dissipation rate. Therefore, the time evolution of the dissipative JC model can be described by the [Lindblad master equation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindbladian)
