Use the resonant interaction picture and define $g>0$ by the one-atom Jaynes-Cummings model in part (a). Equal coupling to both atoms gives the Tavis-Cummings modelThe initial state has two excitations and is symmetric under atom exchange. Excitation conservation and this symmetry confine the evolution toThe antisymmetric atomic spin singlet state is uncoupled and unpopulated. Applying the annihilation operator and creation operator givesThe first off-diagonal entry combines two indistinguishable atomic emission paths; the second also includes the $\sqrt{2}$ enhancement for creating the second photon. Its eigenvalues are $0,\pm \sqrt{6}g$. Put $\Omega =\sqrt{6}g$ and $K=H_I/\hslash$, so $K^3={\Omega }^{2}K$. Its exponential isApplying this to $|A⟩$ yieldsAll three states have the same bare energy on resonance, so restoring the free Schrödinger-picture evolution adds only a common global phase. The expression starts at $|ee;0⟩$, has initial derivative $-i\sqrt{2}g|B⟩$, and its three squared probability amplitudes sum to one.

The Tavis-Cummings model extends the Jaynes-Cummings model to several two-level systems exchanging excitations with a common quantized normal mode under the rotating-wave approximation. It conserves total excitation number. Equal coupling preserves permutation-symmetric atomic sectors, allowing finite-dimensional reductions for a fixed initial excitation number.
