I'm confused because the James-Cummings model of an EM field interacting with a 2 state atom uses fields of "n" photons of frequency "omega" But, a pulse of time , t = pi/(2*coupling) creates an equally superimposed state, |superimposed states> = 1/(sqrt2) (|1> - i*|2>) .
My questions are:
(1) what is the energy of the pulse creating this state?
(2) Is this pulse considered a "piece of a photon of frequency omega" and therefore it has less energy than a "whole photon?"
