Effects of a Moving Mass Centre on Atomic Dynamics in Locally Inhomogeneous Quantized Cavity Field

Xiaoguang Wang, Chang-Pu Sun

By invoking an exactly solvable model as the generalization of the Jaynes-Cummings model, the influence of spatial motion of atomic centre on the dynamics of a single-mode cavity-two-level atom system are studied for various initial conditions. These investigations show that the Doppler effect exercised by the motion of atom in a locally inhomogeneous cavity field can lead to the phenomenon of oscillation collapse and revival in the transition probability and the atomic population inversion.

Dynamics of Two-Level Atom with Moving Mass Center Considering the Multiphoton Transitions

Yi Xue-Xi

We study the effect of moving mass center on atomic dynamics for various initial conditions, and the two-level atom coupled locally in inhomogeneous cavity to a near-resonant single-mode quantized field and the atomic levels are coupled by the multiphoton transitions. Our study shows that, the Doppler effect exercised by the motion of atom can lead to the modified phenomenon of oscillation collapse and revival in the atomic population inversion at the beginning of evolution.

Quantum Collapses and Revivals in a Quantized Trap

C. A. Blockley, Daniel F. Walls, H. Risken

A single two-level atom, with quantized centre-of-mass motion, is constrained to move in a one-dimensional harmonic potential, while interacting with a single-mode classical travelling light field. When the atom's centre-of-mass motion is in a coherent state, we show that the atomic inversion exhibits collapses and revivals. Whereas in the Jaynes-Cummings model this behaviour occurs due to the discrete nature of the light field, in our case the behaviour is due to the discrete nature of the vibrational trap states. The Q -function for the external motion is also calculated and shown to break into two peaks in the collapse region. Finally the parameter ranges under which the collapses and revivals can be observed are discussed, as well as the possibility of an experiment.
