An exact solution of the Milburn equation is given for the two-photon Jaynes-Cummings model of atom-field interaction with non-trivial dynamics. It is shown that the intrinsic decoherence in the atom-field interaction is responsible for the deterioration of the revivals of the atomic inversion.
Milburn has recently proposed [Phys. Rev. A 44, 5401 (1991)] a variation of the Schr\"odinger equation which models decoherence as the system evolves through intrinsic mechanisms beyond conventional quantum mechanics rather than dissipative interaction with an environment. In this paper we give an exact solution of this equation and apply it to the Jaynes-Cummings model of atom-field interaction with nontrivial dynamics. We show that the intrinsic decoherence is responsible for deterioration of quantum coherence effects in this model, such as revivals of the atomic inversion. We discuss the applicability of the Milburn equation.
In this paper, we study the multiphoton Jaynes-Cummings model (JCM) governed by the Milburn equation [G. J. Milburn, Phys. Rev. A 44, 5401 (1991); 47, 2415 (1993)], which models the decoherence of a quantum system as the quantum system evolves through intrinsic mechanisms beyond conventional quantum mechanics. We give an exact solution of this equation for the multiphoton Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian and apply it to investigate the influence of the intrinsic decoherence on nonclassical effects (atomic inversion, oscillations of the photon-number distribution, squeezing of the cavity field, and photon antibunching) in the JCM. It is shown that during the time evolution, the intrinsic decoherence in the atom-field interaction suppresses these nonclassical behaviors in the JCM.
The Milburn equation without diffusion approximation is solved exactly for the two-photon Jaynes-Cummings model in the presence of Stark shift. This allows the study of the decoherence problem in the whole range of the decoherence parameter gamma . The influence of decoherence on atomic inversion is studied. The dynamical behaviour is adjusted in the presence of Stark shift. It is shown that even in the presence of Stark shift the revivals of atomic inversion are destroyed in the decoherence process.
In this paper, we study the influence of the intrinsic decoherence on quantum statistical properties of a generalized nonlinear interacting atom–field system, i.e., the nondegenerate two-photon f-deformed Jaynes–Cummings model governed by the Milburn equation. The model contains the nonlinearities of both the cavity–field and the atom–field coupling. Until now, very few exact solutions of nonlinear systems that include a form of decoherence have been presented. The main achievement of the present work is to find exact analytical solutions for the quantum dynamics of the nonlinear model under consideration in the presence of intrinsic decoherence. With the help of a supersymmetric transformation, we first put the model Hamiltonian into an appropriate form for treating the intrinsic decoherence. Then, by applying the superoperator technique, we find an exact solution of the Milburn equation for a nondegenerate two-photon f-deformed Jaynes–Cummings model. We use this solution to investigate the effects of the intrinsic decoherence on temporal evolution of various nonclassical properties of the system, i.e., atomic population inversion, atomic dipole squeezing, atom–field entanglement, sub-Poissonian photon statistics, cross correlation between the two modes and quadrature squeezing of the cavity field. Particularly, we compare the numerical results for three different cases of two-mode deformed, one-mode deformed, and nondeformed Jaynes–Cummings models. PACS Nos.: 42.50.Ct, 42.50.Dv, 03.65.Yz
