Abstract

We adopt a dynamical algebraic approach to study the system of a two-level atom moving in a quantized travelling light field and a gravitational field with a multiphoton interaction. The exact solution of the system is obtained and used to discuss the influence of the gravitational field on the collapses and revivals of atomic population, sub-Poissonian statistics.

Interaction of a two-level atom with a quantized radiation field in the presence of a gravitational field

Xu‐Bo Zou, Jing‐Bo Xu

The system of a two-level atom interacting with a quantized radiation field in a gravitational field is studied by making use of a dynamical algebraic method. A full quantum treatment of the internal and external dynamics of the atom is given and an exact expression for the time evolution operator of the system is obtained. The influence of the gravitational field on the collapses and revivals of the atomic population, sub-Poissonian statistics, radiation force, atomic momentum diffusion, and squeezing of the radiation field is also investigated.

Effects of gravitational waves on two-level atom moving in a quantized traveling light field: exact solution via path integral

Hilal Benkhelil

We adopt a coherent states path integral formalism to study the system of a two-level atom moving in a quantized traveling light field and a gravitational field. By using the phase space and some rotations in the space of coherent states, have enabled greatly simplify the calculations. The propagator is first written in a standard form, ∫Dpathexpi/ℏSpath, by replacing the spin with a unit vector aligned along the polar and azimuthal directions. Then, it is determined exactly due to the auxiliary equation which has a spacial function as a solution. The corresponding wave functions have been deduced by applying the principles of quantum mechanics. The results obtained are perfectly identical with those found by other standard methods.

Quantum statistical properties of the Jaynes–Cummings model in the presence of a classical homogeneous gravitational field

M Mohammadi, M. H. Naderi, M. Soltanolkotabi

The temporal evolution of quantum statistical properties of an interacting atom–radiation field system in the presence of a classical homogeneous gravitational field is investigated within the framework of the Jaynes–Cummings model. To analyse the dynamical evolution of the atom–radiation system a quantum treatment of the internal and external dynamics of the atom is presented based on an alternative su(2) dynamical algebraic structure. By solving the Schrödinger equation in the interaction picture, the evolving state of the system is found by which the influence of the gravitational field on the dynamical behaviour of the atom–radiation system is explored. Assuming that initially the radiation field is prepared in a coherent state and the two-level atom is in a coherent superposition of the excited and ground states, the influence of gravity on the collapses and revivals of the atomic population inversion, atomic dipole squeezing, atomic momentum diffusion, photon counting statistics and quadrature squeezing of the radiation field is studied.

Quantum Collapses and Revivals in a Quantized Trap

C. A. Blockley, Daniel F. Walls, H. Risken

A single two-level atom, with quantized centre-of-mass motion, is constrained to move in a one-dimensional harmonic potential, while interacting with a single-mode classical travelling light field. When the atom's centre-of-mass motion is in a coherent state, we show that the atomic inversion exhibits collapses and revivals. Whereas in the Jaynes-Cummings model this behaviour occurs due to the discrete nature of the light field, in our case the behaviour is due to the discrete nature of the vibrational trap states. The Q -function for the external motion is also calculated and shown to break into two peaks in the collapse region. Finally the parameter ranges under which the collapses and revivals can be observed are discussed, as well as the possibility of an experiment.

Non-Markovian analysis of the phase-damped Jaynes-Cummings model in the presence of a classical homogeneous gravitational field

M. Mohammadi

In this paper, the non-Markovian dissipative dynamics of the phase-damped Jaynes-Cummings model in the presence of a classical homogeneous gravitational field will be analyzed. The model consists of a moving two-level atom simultaneously exposed to the gravitational field and a single-mode traveling radiation field in the presence of a non-Markovian phase damping mechanism. First, the non-Markovian master equation for the reduced density operator of the system in terms of a Hamiltonian describing the atom-field interaction in the presence of a homogeneous gravitational field will be presented. Then, the superoperator technique will be generalized and an exact solution of the non-Markovian master equation will be obtained. Assuming that initially the radiation field is prepared in a Glauber coherent state and the two-level atom is in the excited state, the influence of gravity on the temporal evolution of collapses and revivals of the atomic population inversion, atomic dipole squeezing, and photon counting statistics of the radiation field in the presence of the non-Markovian phase damped will be investigated.

Dynamics of Two-Level Atom with Moving Mass Center Considering the Multiphoton Transitions

Yi Xue-Xi

We study the effect of moving mass center on atomic dynamics for various initial conditions, and the two-level atom coupled locally in inhomogeneous cavity to a near-resonant single-mode quantized field and the atomic levels are coupled by the multiphoton transitions. Our study shows that, the Doppler effect exercised by the motion of atom can lead to the modified phenomenon of oscillation collapse and revival in the atomic population inversion at the beginning of evolution.
