Quantum electrodynamics of a three-level atom in a two-mode correlated field in a cavity

Abstract

The quantum dynamics of a three-level atom in a cascade configuration interacting with two-mode correlated fields is studied. Two kinds of correlated field, namely, the correlated SU(1, 1) coherent states and the pair coherent states, are considered.

A three-level atom interacting with a single mode cavity field: different configurations

N. H. Abdel-Wahab

In this paper, the problem of a three-level atom interacting with a single mode of the quantized electromagnetic cavity field is considered. The considered theoretical model describes the distinct configurations of a three-level atom. Also, this model includes a detuning and arbitrary forms of both the field and the intensity-dependent atom-field coupling. We obtain the general forms for both the constants of motion and the wavefunction when the atom is initially prepared in one of its states. We use this model for computing a number of statistical aspects of the three-level system. As an illustration, we use the model for studying the time evolution of the second-order correlation function when the atom is initially in an upper state and the field is considered in a coherent state.

Dynamics of a two-mode two-photon Jaynes–Cummings model interacting with correlated SU(1, 1) coherent states

Christopher C. Gerry, Ronald F. Welch

We study the quantum dynamics of a two-mode two-photon Jaynes–Cummings model of a two-level atom interacting with the correlated two-mode SU(1, 1) coherent states. The collapse and revival patterns in this case are noted to be quite different from those in the case of uncorrelated coherent states and correlated pair-coherent states. As an example of the time evolution of the field statistics we show that violation of the Cauchy–Schwartz inequality by the initial field states may be nullified. We also discuss the evolution of the variance of the two-mode field quadrature operator.

Interactions of a two-level atom with one mode of correlated two-mode field states

Christopher C. Gerry, Ronald F. Welch

We study the interaction of two-level atoms with correlated two-mode states of the quantized electromagnetic field. We assume that only one of the modes is near resonance with the atomic transition so that the second mode does not interact directly with the atom. However, we find that the presence of the second field does produce a kind of nonlocal effect in that if the atom is initially in the excited or the ground state no atomic dipole moment develops. We consider two kinds of correlated field state, namely, the correlated SU(1, 1) coherent states, which are generalizations of the two-mode squeezed vacuum states, and the so-called pair coherent states. We study the atomic inversions and the evolutions of the field statistics and of the squeezing properties of the initial field.

The quantum dynamics of two-mode SU(1,1) coherent state interacting with a four-level atom

Xie Fang-sen

The state function of the two-mode SU(1,1) coherent states field interacting with a four-level atom is derived by means of quantum theory.It is studied that the two-mode intensity correlation function,the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality and the second-order coherence properties for each mode of the light field in the system of the two-mode SU(1,1) coherent states field interacting with four-level atom.It is discussed that the influence of the coupling coefficient between the light field and atom and the initial intensity of the light field on file quantum dynamics of the light field.The results of the studies indicate that the statistic properties of the photon depend on the initial state of the system,the correlation of the two-mode of light is both positive and non-classical,the photon anti-bunching of the first mode appear at all time,and the photon bunching and anti-bunching of the second mode appear alternately.

Interaction of a three-level atom with an SU(2) coherent state

W. K. Lai, V. Buek, P. L. Knight

In this paper we investigate the sensitivity of coupled atomic transitions to correlations between field modes. In particular, we show that a three-level atom interacting with a cavity field supporting two quantized modes can be highly sensitive to the nature of the correlations between the modes. Correlated two-mode states include the two-mode squeezed state, whereas the SU(2) coherent state is an example of an anticorrelated state. We study in detail the dynamics of a three-level atom in the \ensuremath{\lambda} configuration, interacting with the two modes of an SU(2) coherent state. We show that for certain choices of the atom-field coupling constants, the generalized two-photon Rabi frequency for the system becomes independent of the photon number, leading to a purely periodic behavior in time of the atomic population probabilities; for other choices of the atom-field coupling constants, we observe the usual collapse and revival of the Rabi oscillations. We study also the dynamics of the field, in particular the correlations between the modes. Finally, for comparison purposes, we present a parallel study of the case in which the field modes are initially uncorrelated.

Interaction of a three-level atom with squeezed light

Reeta Vyas, Surendra Singh

Dynamics of a three-level atom interacting with one- and two-mode radiation fields is studied when the initial state of the field is a squeezed coherent state. All the three types of level configurations cascade; V and Lambda are considered. A model similar to the Jaynes-Cumming type developed by Yoo and Eberly1 is used. Various parameter ranges including the one in which the photon number distribution for the squeezed state exhibits oscillatory behavior2 are considered. Interesting revival structures are seen. Curves are presented to illustrate the behavior.
