We talk about the spin-boson model and its one-mode version the "Rabi-model". Both describe a two level atom linearly interacting with photons.
By the eigenvalues of the Rabi Hamiltonian, we can define the spectral zeta function which is indexed by the coupling constant $g$ of the Rabi Hamiltonian. We discuss the asymptotic behavior of the spectral zeta function as $g$ goes to infinity. For the spin-boson model we discuss the properties of ground state by path measures, and a van Hove representation is given.
