Abstract

We present an exact analytic solution for the Jaynes-Cummings model in a leaky optical cavity without using the Markov master equation. In our approach we solve directly the whole quantum state associated with the atom and the continuous field modes---modes-of-universe. Our solution exhibits a hierarchy structure and it is applicable to cases with arbitrary number of photons. The solution can be used to study decoherence effects and the quantum state of the transmitted field.

Propagators of the Jaynes-Cummings model in open systems

T. W. Chen, C. K. Law, Paul Leung

We present a propagator formalism to investigate the scattering of photons by a cavity QED system that consists of a single two-level atom dressed by a leaky optical cavity field. We establish a diagrammatic method to construct the propagator analytically. This allows us to determine the quantum state of the scattered photons for an arbitrary incident photon packet. As an application, we explicitly solve the problem of a single-photon packet scattered by an initially excited atom.

Exact solution of the Jaynes-Cummings model with cavity damping

A. J. van Wonderen

Operating in Laplace language and making use of a representation based on photon-number states, we find the exact solution for the density operator that belongs to the Jaynes-Cummings model with cavity damping. The detuning parameter is set equal to zero and the optical resonator does not contain any thermal photons. It is shown that the master equation for the density operator can be replaced by two algebraic recursion relations for vectors of dimension 2 and 4. These vectors are built up from suitably chosen matrix elements of the density operator. By performing an iterative procedure, the exact solution for each matrix element is found in the form of an infinite series. We demonstrate that all series are convergent and discuss how they can be truncated when carrying out numerical work. With the help of techniques from function theory, it is proved that our solutions respect the following conditions on the density operator: conservation of trace, Hermiticity, convergence to the initial state for small times, and convergence to the ground state for large times. We compute some matrix elements of the density operator for the case of weak damping and find that their analytic structure becomes much simpler. Finally, it is shown that the exact atomic density matrix converges to the state of maximum von Neumann entropy if the time, the square of the initial electromagnetic energy density, and the inverse of the cavity-damping parameter tend to infinity equally fast. The initial condition for the atom can be chosen freely, whereas the field may start from either a coherent or a photon-number state.

Photon statistical properties of the cavity field in the two—atom Jaynes—Cummings model

Liangjun, WANGKai-ge

The model that two two-level atoms interact with a singel-mode cavity is studied. The exact solution of the time evolution operator for the two-atom Jaynes-Cummings model is presented by the bare-states approach. Furthermore, we investigate the dynamical properties of the photon statistics of the cavity field, and obtain a number of novel features.

Exact time-evolution of the dispersive Jaynes–Cummings model: the effect of initial correlation and master equation approach

Masashi Ban

Time-evolution of the dispersive Jaynes–Cummings model interacting with a bosonic reservoir is considered in the presence of an initial correlation between the cavity field and reservoir. When there is at most one excitation in the whole system, the exact time-evolution can be obtained. The effects of the initial correlation on the decoherence of the two-level system and cavity field are investigated. Furthermore, the validity of the time-convolutionless quantum master equation in the second-order approximation with respect to the system-reservoir interaction is examined by means of the exact solution.

Jaynes-Cummings model of a pair of two-level atoms with dipole interaction

N. A. Enaki, V. I. Koroli, Sergiu Bazgan

We have assumed that atoms are placed in given positions of the standing wave of cavity. Based on modern optical achievements it is possible to localize a small number of emitters (atoms, ions, molecules and even nuclei) in various geometrical systems like optical cavities, quantum dots, optical lattices and dielectric or disordered media. It is supposed that at initial moment t = 0 pair of atoms is prepared in superposition of ground state |g⟩, first excited |e1⟩, second |e2⟩ and third excited |e3⟩ states and quantized cavity field in coherent state |ξ⟩. By using exact analytical solution for statevector of the coupled atom-field system found with the help of Schrodinger equation quantum-statistical properties of the quantized cavity field are examined as a function of the |ξ| parameter. Exact analytical solutions for the atomic population inversion ⟨Sz⟩, mean photon number ⟨n⟩ and their fluctuations σ are obtained by using this solution. In this situation quantum statistics of cavity field has the tendency towards oscillations, but exact periodicity of these oscillations is violated by the analogy with the micromaser model [2] and two-photon JCM of a threelevel atom [3].
