Abstract
The quantum dynamics of a pulse-driven finite-dimensional quantum chain with only nearest-neighbor coupling is studied. We extend the concept of Rabi oscillations from two-level quantum systems to the multi-level quantum chains. The time-dependent quantum dynamics and solutions producing perfect population transfer are obtained for up to five-level quantum chains. The Gröbner basis analysis technique is used to generalize the results and get all analytical solutions for perfect population transfer. Explicit formulas for the solutions up to nine levels are presented. These results could be used to design control strategies for general finite-dimensional quantum systems.
