Abstract

We investigate the dynamics of nonclassicality, quantified by the Wigner Yanase skew information, in generalized Jaynes Cummings (JC) and Tavis Cummings (TC) models describing light matter interactions in cavity quantum electrodynamics. We first analyze a generalized JC model consisting of a single bosonic cavity mode coupled to a spin 1 atom, focusing on the temporal evolution of nonclassicality in both the cavity field and the atomic subsystem. We then extend this framework to a generalized TC model by introducing an additional spin $1/2$ atom, enabling us to examine the influence of collective atomic degrees of freedom. The global dynamics are investigated both with and without an $XY$ spin interaction. Our results show that, under resonance conditions, the system exhibits efficient excitation exchange between the cavity field and the atomic subsystem, resulting in regular, coherent nonclassicality dynamics and enhanced field nonclassicality generation. Conversely, an increasing longitudinal magnetic field acts primarily as an effective detuning parameter rather than a direct exchange interaction. In this off resonant regime, the atom field coupling is substantially weakened, localizing excitations within the atomic subsystem. This localization suppresses coherent energy transfer to the cavity field, leading to a pronounced reduction in field nonclassicality, while the atomic subsystem retains the majority of the quantum correlations. Notably, atomic superposition states exhibit highly irregular spin dynamics, reflecting a detuning-induced redistribution of quantum correlations. These findings demonstrate that the dynamics of spin and field nonclassicality are governed primarily by interaction mediated excitation flow and resonance conditions rather than the initial energy distribution alone, ..

Tavis-Cummings model revisited: A perspective from macroscopic quantum electrodynamics

Yi-Ting Chuang, Ming‐Wei Lee, Liang‐Yan Hsu

The Tavis-Cummings (TC) model has been widely used to investigate the collective coupling effect in hybrid light-matter systems; however, the TC model neglects the effect of a dielectric environment (the spectral structure of photonic bath), and it remains unclear whether the TC model can adequately depict the light-matter interaction in a non-homogeneous, dispersive, and absorbing medium. To clarify the ambiguity, in this work, we first connect the macroscopic quantum electrodynamics and the TC model with dissipation. Based on the relationship between these two theoretical frameworks, we develop a guideline that allows us to examine the applicability of the TC model with dissipation. The guideline states that if 1) the generalized spectral densities are independent of the positions of molecules and 2) the generalized spectral densities resemble a Lorentzian function, then the hybrid light-matter system can be properly described by the TC model with dissipation. In order to demonstrate how to use the guideline, we examine the position dependence and the lineshape of the generalized spectral densities in three representative systems, including a silver Fabry-Pérot cavity, a silver surface, and an aluminum spherical cavity. We find that only the aluminum spherical cavity meets the two conditions, i.e., position independence and Lorentzian lineshape, required for the utilization of the dissipative TC model. Our results indicate that the use of the TC model with dissipation to study the collective coupling effect should be done with care, providing an important perspective on resonance energy transfer and polariton chemistry.

Controlling nonclassical properties of the Jaynes-Cummings model by an external coherent field

Fuli Li, Shaoyan Gao

The dynamics of the driven Jaynes-Cummings model where a two-level atom is coupled to a single mode of cavity fields and is driven by an external coherent field is investigated. We find that in this model quantum collapse and revivals of the atomic population inversion and squeezing of the cavity field can be generated from a thermal photon state. We also notice that the squeezing is very sensitive to the mean number of thermal photons initially in the cavity, but the quantum collapse and revivals are not. The influence of the amplitude of the driving field and various detuning parameters on the nonclassical effects is discussed. The result shows that one can use the external field to control nonclassical effects in the Jaynes-Cummings model.

Nonclassical Effects of a Two-Level Spin System Interacting with a Two-Mode Cavity Field via Two-Photon Transition

Horacio Grinberg

The interaction of a two-level cyclic XY n-spin model with a two-mode cavity field involving two-photon transitions is investigated through a generalized Jaynes-Cummings model in the rotating-wave approximation. The two-photon interacting Hamiltonian becomes from the replacement of each single-mode field in the one-photon interacting Hamiltonian with the second-harmonic generation. It was assumed that initially the correlated field modes are in disentangled coherent states having the same photon distribution and that the spin system is in an excited state. At any time t > 0, the spin system and the field are in an entangled state, in this case, via a unitary time evolution operator. Thus, the spontaneous decay of a spin level was treated by considering the interaction of the two-level spin system with the modes of the universe in the vacuum state. The different cases of interest, characterized in terms of a detuning parameter for each mode, which emerge from nonvanishing commutation relations, were analytically implemented and numerically discussed for various values of the initial mean photon number and spin-photon coupling constants. Photon distribution, time evolution of the spin population inversion, as well as the statistical properties of the field leading to the possible production of nonclassical states, such as antibunched light, violations of the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality, and second- and fourth-order squeezing, are examined. The case of zero detuning of both modes was treated in terms of a linearization of the expansion of the time evolution operator, while in other three cases, the computations were conducted via second- and third-order Dyson perturbation expansion of the time evolution operator matrix elements for the excited and ground states of the spin system, respectively.

Strong single-photon to two-photon bundles emission in spin-1 Jaynes–Cummings model

Jing Tang, Yuangang Deng

High-quality special nonclassical states beyond the strong single atom-cavity coupling regime are fundamental elements in quantum information science. Here, we study strong single-photon blockade to two-photon bundles emission in a single spin-1 atom coupled to an optical cavity by constructing a spin-1 Jaynes–Cummings model (JCM). By tuning the quadratic Zeeman shift, the energy-spectrum anharmonicity can be significantly enhanced, leading to a remarkable increase in the dressed-state splitting of the well-resolved n-photon resonance. The mechanism, which benefits from the internal degrees of freedom in high-spin systems, compensates for the strong coupling condition required by the multi-photon blockade, thereby facilitating the experimental feasibility of engineering special nonclassical states beyond the strong-coupling limit. It is shown that the photon emission from the spin-1 JCM demonstrates high-quality single photon and two-photon bundles with large steady-state photon numbers in the cavity-driven and atom-pump cases, respectively. In particular, compared to the two-level two-photon JCM, the antibunching amplitude of the three-order correlation function for two-photon bundles in the spin-1 JCM is enhanced by 3 orders of magnitude. More interestingly, a multimode transducer, enabling a transition from strong single-photon blockade to two-photon bundles and super-Poissonian photon emission, is achieved and highly controllable by the light-cavity detuning in the presence of both atom and cavity driven fields. This study based on the high-spin JCM broadens the scope of engineering special nonclassical quantum states beyond the standard two-level JCM. Our proposal not only opens up a new avenue for generating high-quality n-photon sources but also provides versatile applications in quantum networks and metrology.

Nonclassical properties of light in atom-cavity interaction scheme with time-and intensity-dependent coupling / Nor Hazmin Sabri

Nor Hazmin Sabri

The nonclassical properties of light and atomic dynamics are studied. The system considered are two level atom interact with a quantized field in a high quality cavity, which is recognized as the Jaynes-Cumming Model. The time- and intensity-dependent atom-field coupling are applied to the system, with different initial field states and initial atomic states. We also extend the system for three level atom in a cavity, and include the dissipative mechanism in the system. We consider the laser driven three level atom in a cavity coupled to a reservoir. Interesting effects of the transient coupling are analyzed through the collapse-revival pattern in population inversion, while the nonclassicality of cavity field is studied through the features in the evolution ofWigner function. The inversion of initial superposed atomic state seems to be independent of initial classical fields but can be stimulated by the Schrodinger cat field. In two level system, the oscillatory coupling coefficient can prolong the occurrence of collapse, in analogy to the Zeno effect.The intensity atom-field coupling duration is an important parameter for controlling atomic inversion and producing frozen nonclassical light in the cavity after the atom-field coupling ceases. The theory developed will provide useful physical insights for future experimental work and enhance significant knowledge on the nonclassicality of light in matter-wave interaction. The research results will particularly benefit quantum information technology.

Study of Nonclassical Features and Quantum Dynamics in the Jaynes-Cummings Model Without RWA

Rui-hua Xie, Gong-ou Xu, Dun-huan Liu

Some nonclassical features, including photon antibunching, atomic squeezing and quantum collapse-revival phenomenon, were numerically studied in the vacuum field Jaynes–Cummings model (JCM). The influence of the initial atomic coherence on these features was discussed. It is shown that the squeezing can appear only if the atom is initially prepared in the coherent state, and photon antibunching can occur if the atom is initially in the excited state or the coherent one. The effect of the virtual-photon field was studied in JCM without the rotating-wave approximation (RWA). We have shown that even under the condition in which RWA is considered to be valid, there are significant effects on the nonc1assical features due to the interference between the virtual-photon processes and the real-photon processes. Quantum dynamics of JCM without RWA was also studied. We showed that regular dynamical behavior is exhibited in the cases rather close to the integrable limits, and irregular dynamical behavior is presented in the cases far from the integrable limits; in addition, all the nonclassical features disappear in the cases far from the integrable limits.

High-quality special nonclassical states beyond the strong single atom-cavity coupling regime are fundamental elements in quantum information science.

The mechanism, which benefits from the internal degrees of freedom in high-spin systems, compensates for the strong coupling condition required by the multi-photon blockade, thereby facilitating the experimental feasibility of engineering special nonclassical states beyond the strong-coupling limit. It is shown that the photon emission from the spin-1 JCM demonstrates high-quality single photon and two-photon bundles with large steady-state photon numbers in the cavity-driven and atom-pump cases, respectively. In particular, compared to the two-level two-photon JCM, the antibunching amplitude of the three-order correlation function for two-photon bundles in the spin-1 JCM is enhanced by 3 orders of magnitude. More interestingly, a multimode transducer, enabling a transition from strong single-photon blockade to two-photon bundles and super-Poissonian photon emission, is achieved and highly controllable by the light-cavity detuning in the presence of both atom and cavity driven fields. This study based on the high-spin JCM broadens the scope of engineering special nonclassical quantum states beyond the standard two-level JCM. Our proposal not only opens up a new avenue for generating high-quality n-photon sources but also provides versatile applications in quantum networks and metrology.
