Physical Review A

Dynamical evolution of the two-photon Jaynes-Cummings model in a Kerr-like medium

Abstract

The collapse-and-revival phenomenon in the population inversion and the time evolution of the quasiprobability Q function of an atom undergoing a two-photon process are investigated when the cavity is supposed to be filled with a Kerr-like medium. An exact expression for the atomic population inversion has been given for a field initially in the coherent state. The closed form of this expression as well as that of the Q function are obtained under the high-field approximation. Also, the tendency toward inhibited decay of the excited state has been explicitly shown. This study reveals how the simultaneous occurrence of two nonlinear processes affects the atomic dynamics.

Interaction of a two-level atom and a field with a time-varying frequency in a Kerr-like medium

Li Wang, Jingpin Xu, Yunfeng Gao

The interactions between a two-level atom and a coherent field with a time-varying frequency in a Kerr-like medium have been investigated. It is found that the average of the atomic population inversion is deformed as the frequency changing with time in sine form. It is interesting that when the amplitude of field modulation and third-order nonlinear susceptibility are adjusted to certain values, the collapse–revival phenomena of population inversion in the standard Jaynes–Cumming model disappear and are replaced by a nearly Rabi-oscillation-like evolution. In other words, population inversion in the initial coherent field behaves like that in the initial Fock state. This provides a new way to manipulate the interaction between the atom and the field, and has potential applications in quantum information and quantum communication.

Quantum collapse and revival of a two-level atom with intensity-dependent detuning in a finite Q cavity at finite temperature

V. Bernat, Igor Jex

The authors consider a generalization of the Jaynes-Cummings model when the cavity is supposed to be filled with a Kerr-like medium. The non-linearity induced by the Kerr-like medium leads to an inhibited decay of the initially excited atom. In the present papers they analyse the influence of the quality of the cavity and the influence of a thermofield on the collapses and revivals of the atomic inversion.

INTENSITY DEPENDENT COUPLING HAMILTONIAN VIA MULTI-PHOTON INTERACTION IN A KERR MEDIUM

R. A. Zait

We study the dynamics and quantum characteristics of a single two-level atom interacting with a single mode cavity field undergoing a multi-photon processes in the presence of a nonlinear Kerr-like medium. The wavefunctions of the multi-photon system are obtained when the atom starts in the excited and in the ground state. The atomic inversion, the squeezing of the radiation field and the quasiprobability distribution Q-function of the field are discussed. Numerical results for these characteristics are presented when the atom starts in the excited state and the field mode in a coherent state. The influence of the presence and absence of the number operator and the Kerr medium for the one- and two-photon processes on the evolution of these characteristics are analyzed.

Dynamics of entanglement in a two-mode nonlinear Jaynes-Cummings mode

A. B. M. Ahmed, S. Sivakumar

Dynamics of entanglement due to intensity-dependent interaction between a two-level atom and a single-mode electromagnetic field in a Kerr medium is studied. The form of the interaction is such that the Hamiltonian evolution is exactly solvable. The Hamiltonian is shown to be a deformed Jaynes-Cummings model admitting a closed, symmetric algebra. Dynamics of population inversion and atom-field entanglement are studied taking the initial state of the field to be either a coherent state or a squeezed vacuum. Analysis is extended to the case of a two-mode cavity field interacting with a two-level atom. For the two-mode case, the initial field is a pair coherent state or a two-mode squeezed vacuum. Effects due to nonlinearity, intensity-dependent interaction and detuning on the dynamics are discussed and compared with those of the single-mode case.

The disentangled-state in the two-photon Jaynes-Cumming model with a Kerr-like medium

Wei Wei, Guo Guang-Can

The pure-state dynamical evolution of the atomic as well as the field states in the two-photon Jaynes-Cumming model with a Kerr-like medium for the field initially in the coherent state is investigated under the high-field approximation ( ≫ 1). Analytic expressions of the disentanglement conditions and the relevant disentangled states are derived, which are closely related to Kerr nonlinear coupling constant. This study also reveals that the initial atomic excited state can be evolved into the atomic dipole squeezed state.

Photon Emission Dynamics of a Two-Level Atom in a Cavity

Chang Jae Lee

The collapse and revival of quantum states appear in diverse areas of physics. In quantum optics the occurrence of such a phenomena in the evolution of an atomic state, interacting with a light field initially in a coherent state, was predicted by using the Jaynes-Cummings model (JCM), and subsequently demonstrated experimentally. In this paper we revisit the JCM with the Monte-Carlo wave function approach and investigate the time evolution of the photon emission rate of the atom in a cavity. Analytical and numerical quantum trajectory calculations show that the cavity and the initial field statistics strongly influence the photon emission dynamics. A coherent field indeed gives rise to a collapse and revival behavior that mirrors atomic state evolution. However, there are differences between the two. The emission rate for a field in a Fock number state exhibits a sinusoidal oscillation, and there exists a quiescent period for a thermal field. These properties are quite different from those in free space. It is also shown that the fluctuation in photon emission is much less than that of the atomic population.
