Abstract

The dynamics of the driven Jaynes-Cummings model where a two-level atom is coupled to a single mode of cavity fields and is driven by an external coherent field is investigated. We find that in this model quantum collapse and revivals of the atomic population inversion and squeezing of the cavity field can be generated from a thermal photon state. We also notice that the squeezing is very sensitive to the mean number of thermal photons initially in the cavity, but the quantum collapse and revivals are not. The influence of the amplitude of the driving field and various detuning parameters on the nonclassical effects is discussed. The result shows that one can use the external field to control nonclassical effects in the Jaynes-Cummings model.

Nonclassical properties of light in atom-cavity interaction scheme with time-and intensity-dependent coupling / Nor Hazmin Sabri

The nonclassical properties of light and atomic dynamics are studied. The system considered are two level atom interact with a quantized field in a high quality cavity, which is recognized as the Jaynes-Cumming Model. The time- and intensity-dependent atom-field coupling are applied to the system, with different initial field states and initial atomic states. We also extend the system for three level atom in a cavity, and include the dissipative mechanism in the system. We consider the laser driven three level atom in a cavity coupled to a reservoir. Interesting effects of the transient coupling are analyzed through the collapse-revival pattern in population inversion, while the nonclassicality of cavity field is studied through the features in the evolution ofWigner function. The inversion of initial superposed atomic state seems to be independent of initial classical fields but can be stimulated by the Schrodinger cat field. In two level system, the oscillatory coupling coefficient can prolong the occurrence of collapse, in analogy to the Zeno effect.The intensity atom-field coupling duration is an important parameter for controlling atomic inversion and producing frozen nonclassical light in the cavity after the atom-field coupling ceases. The theory developed will provide useful physical insights for future experimental work and enhance significant knowledge on the nonclassicality of light in matter-wave interaction. The research results will particularly benefit quantum information technology.

Large-scale fluctuations in the driven Jaynes-Cummings model

S. M. Dutra, P. L. Knight, H. M. Moya-Cessa

We study the dynamics of the driven Jaynes-Cummings model where an atom interacts with a single-mode cavity field but is also directly driven by an external radiation field. We show that the dynamic variables can be described in terms of ordinary Jaynes-Cummings dynamic variables with a different initial condition. We investigate the special case of an initial coherent state. We find collapses and revivals in the average number of photons at a much larger time scale than their Jaynes-Cummings model counterparts. We show that these ``super-revivals'' are related to the large-time-scale revivals that occur in the average electric field in the ordinary Jaynes-Cummings model. We also examine the photon statistics in the driven Jaynes-Cummings model and show that the cavity field is sub-Poissonian for certain interaction times.

Study of Nonclassical Features and Quantum Dynamics in the Jaynes-Cummings Model Without RWA

Rui-hua Xie, Gong-ou Xu, Dun-huan Liu

Some nonclassical features, including photon antibunching, atomic squeezing and quantum collapse-revival phenomenon, were numerically studied in the vacuum field Jaynes–Cummings model (JCM). The influence of the initial atomic coherence on these features was discussed. It is shown that the squeezing can appear only if the atom is initially prepared in the coherent state, and photon antibunching can occur if the atom is initially in the excited state or the coherent one. The effect of the virtual-photon field was studied in JCM without the rotating-wave approximation (RWA). We have shown that even under the condition in which RWA is considered to be valid, there are significant effects on the nonc1assical features due to the interference between the virtual-photon processes and the real-photon processes. Quantum dynamics of JCM without RWA was also studied. We showed that regular dynamical behavior is exhibited in the cases rather close to the integrable limits, and irregular dynamical behavior is presented in the cases far from the integrable limits; in addition, all the nonclassical features disappear in the cases far from the integrable limits.

Glauber-Lachs version of the Jaynes-Cummings interaction of a two-level atom

M. Venkata Satyanarayana, M. Vijayakumar, P. M. Alsing

The dynamics of the Jaynes-Cummings interaction of a two-level atom interacting with a single mode of a radiation field prepared in a Glauber-Lachs state is investigated to study the development of seemingly chaotic oscillations of the atomic inversion from a regular collapse-and-revival phenomenon, as the field statistics is changed from the coherent state to the thermal state. The effect of thermal photons on the coherent light is shown to be striking: Both the photon distribution as well as the atomic inversion are highly sensitive to even a very small addition of thermal photons to an initially coherent radiation field. We also compare the collapse and revival occurring in the micromaser case with the Glauber-Lachs version of the Jaynes-Cummings model.

Dynamical Properties of a Two-Level Atom in Three Variants of the Two-Photonq-Deformed Jaynes–Cummings Model

M. H. Naderi, M. Soltanolkotabi, R. Roknizadeh

Temporal evolution of atomic properties including the population inversion and quantum fluctuations of atomic dipole variables are discussed in three various variants of two-photon q-deformed Jaynes-Cummings model.With the the field initially being in three different types of q-deformed coherent states,the quantum collapse and revival effects as well as atomic diploe squeezing are studied for both on-and off-resonant atom-field interaction. Particularly, it is shown that for nonzero detuning the atomic inversion exhibits superstructures which are absent in the non-deformed Jaynes-Cummings model and the dipole squeezing may be enhanced.

Effect of Squeezing on the Atomic and the Entanglement Dynamics in the Jaynes-Cummings Model

T. Subeesh, Vivishek Sudhir, A.B.M.a d Ahmed +1 more

The dynamics of the Jaynes-Cummings interaction of a two-level atom interacting with a single mode of the radiation field is investigated, as the state of the field is gradually changed from a coherent state to a squeezed coherent state. The effect of mild squeezing on the coherent light is shown to be striking: the photon number distribution gets localized and it peaks maximally for a particular value of squeezing. The atomic inversion retains its structure for a longer time. The mean linear entropy shows that the atom has a tendency to get disentangled from field within the collapse region and also in the revival region, for mild squeezing. These properties are absent for the case of a coherent state or for an excessively squeezed coherent state. We also elucidate a connection between these properties and the photon statistics of the mildly squeezed coherent state; these states have the minimum variance and are also maximally sub-Poissonian.
