Small-detuning error of a Rabi pi pulse

ID: small-detuning-error-of-a-rabi-pi-pulse

For the Driven two-level Rabi model at fixed resonant pulse duration , put . Its transfer probability is
The sine-squared numerator differs from one only at order , while the denominator gives . Thus the leading population-transfer error is . For a target transfer error , the frequency mismatch in cycles per second should satisfy in this small-detuning regime. This is not a complete characterization of every coherent gate error.
