The effect of pure decoherence on the Jaynes-Cummings model

Gautam Gangopadhyay, S. H. Lin

Abstract

We have shown that the Jaynes-Cummings model (JCM) with an environment-induced pure decoherence is an exactly solvable problem. Rabi oscillation of atomic population inversion and oscillation in the field population get trapped due to decoherence. But the decay of the coherence properties of the atom as well as of the field is comparatively slower than that of the population terms. It is also shown that although the fast oscillation in nonclassical properties are suppressed due to decoherence but an initial Poissonian field acquires a sub-Poissonian character in the steady state. So unlike the ordinary spontaneous emission all the nonclassical properties of the system are not erased.

Influence of intrinsic decoherence on nonclassical effects in the multiphoton Jaynes-Cummings model

Le‐Man Kuang, Xin Chen, Mo‐Lin Ge

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.

An alternative approach to Jaynes-Cummings model with dissipation at finite temperature

Le‐Man Kuang, Guang‐Hong Chen, Mo‐Lin Ge +1 more

An alternative approach to the Jaynes-Cummings model (JCM) with dissipation at a finite enviromental temperature is presented in terms of a new master equation under Born-Markovian approximations. An analytic solution of the dissipation JCM is obtained. A variety of physical quantities of interest are calculated analytically. Dynamical properties of the atom and the field are investigated in some detail. It is shown that both cavity damping and environmental temperature strongly affect nonclassical effects in the JCM, such as collapse and revivals of the atomic inversion, oscillations of the photon-number distribution, quadrature squeezing of the field and sub-Poissonian photon statistics.

The Jaynes–Cummings Revival

Bruce W. Shore, P. L. Knight

. The Jaynes-Cummings Model (JCM), a soluble fully quantum mechanical model of an atom in a field, was first used (in 1963) to examine the classical aspects of spontaneous emission and to reveal the existence of Rabi oscillations in atomic excitation probability for fields with sharply defined energy (or photon number). For fields having a statistical distribution of photon numbers the oscillations collapse to an expected steady value. In 1980 it was discovered that with appropriate initial conditions (e.g. a near-classical field), the Rabi oscillations would eventually revive – only to collapse and revive repeatedly in a complicated pattern. The existence of these revivals, present in the analytic solutions of the JCM, provided direct evidence for discreteness of field excitation (photons) and hence for the truly quantum nature of radiation. Subsequent study revealed further nonclassical properties of the JCM field, such as a tendency of the photons to antibunch. Within the last two years it has been found that during the quiescent intervals of collapsed Rabi oscillations the atom and field exist in a macroscopic superposition state (a Schrödinger cat). This discovery offers the opportunity to use the JCM to elucidate the basic properties of quantum correlation (entanglement) and to explore still further the relationship between classical and quantum physics.
