A new way of diagonalizing the Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian is proposed, which allows the definition of annihilation operators and coherent states for this model. Mean values and dispersions over these states are computed and interpreted.
In the representation of dressed states, which diagonalizes the Hamiltonian in the Jaynes-Cummings model, the Bose operator for excitation annihilation Â, the spin operator Σ^_ , and the corresponding Hermitian-conjugate operators are found. Using these operators, correlated coherent states were constructed and statistical properties of a field mode and an atom in these states are studied. Nonclassical field properties, such as the deviation of the probability distribution for the number of photons from the Poissonian distribution, its time dependence, and the squeezing of quadrature field components are found. For small interaction coefficients k, all these characteristics of the model vary weakly in time in the resonance case.
General sets of coherent states and the JaynesndashCummings model
We introduce a dynamical system that instead of exchanging a single photon as in the atomic system of the usual Jaynes-Cummings model (JCM), it exchanges instead a squeezed coherent photon. Accordingly, the creation and annihilation photon operators in the JCM are replaced by the creation and annihilation operators of squeezed coherent states, respectively. This transformation generates a photon Hamiltonian that modifies the JCM that includes terms usually omitted in the JCM when making the rotating-wave approximation and, in addition, the transformation introduces atom exchange terms absent in the JCM.
