Conclusion Level inversion of a driven qubits is used to produce lasing at the Rabi frequency The qubit is adjusted for stable resonance conditions and rapid relaxation. Harmonics of the resonator determine the driving field for good coupling and high photon number The experimental results are described by a full quantum theory - on the base of the dressed states.
