Correlations of a single atom and a resonance mode and their manifestation in some physical phenomena

Abstract
A kinetic equation governing relaxation of a single two-level atom and a high- Q cavity mode in an entangled thermostat exhibiting quantum correlations is presented. Based on two kinds of collective operators, we demonstrate the possibility of the existence of dual squeezed states in this system. One kind of generator of collective operators corresponds to algebra obtained by polynomial deformation of the angular-momentum algebra, while the other kind corresponds to the Heisenberg-Weyl algebra. Squeezed states of the collective system are defined in terms of commutative relations for operators of the corresponding generator algebras. It is shown that quantum correlations in the system manifest themselves in two physical phenomena. The first one is the known entanglement-swapping protocol and is based on the projection measurement. In the other case, quantum correlations reveal themselves in the coherent scattering dynamics of an atom in the field of a standing light wave.
