At the time of Rabi's experiments, physicists knew that the atomic nucleus is composed of two types of particles, positively charged protons and neutral particles called neutrons.
Rabi's experiments involved passing a beam of lithium chloride molecules through a vacuum chamber and manipulating the beam with different magnetic fields.
Rabi and his team adjusted the magnetic field strength until they induced the magnetic moments of the nuclei to flip, which occurs when the frequency of the radio signal matches the nuclei's characteristic precessional frequency.

From 1940 to 1945 Rabi was a leader of the group of scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, who helped in the development of radar.
He originated the concept of the CERN international laboratory for high-energy physics in Geneva, Switz., and he was one of the founders of the Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, N.Y. He also built up one of the world's finest physics departments at Columbia University, one which was to produce several Nobel Prize-winning physicists.
Rabi's most important scientific work was his development (in the 1930s) of a method for measuring the magnetic properties of atoms, atomic nuclei, and molecules.

When an atom (or some other two-level system) is illuminated by a coherent beam of photons, it will cyclically absorb photon and re-emit them by stimulated emission.
One such cycle is called a Rabi cycle and the inverse of its duration the Rabi frequency of the photon beam.
The name is in reference to Isidor Isaac Rabi.

The Rabi cycle is a term that originated in the field of quantum optics, but has recently found applications in the field of quantum computing.
More generally, one can consider a system where the two levels under consideration are not energy eigenstates.
Therefore if the system is initialized in one of these levels, time evolution will make the population of each of the levels oscillate with some characteristic frequency, which is also known as the Rabi frequency.
