Quantum phase and dynamical properties of light in the Jaynes-Cummings model via phase coupling

Abstract

It is pointed out here that quantum phase properties, as well as dynamical properties, of light exhibit a sensitivity to the relative phase between the atomic dipole and light when the atom is prepared in a coherent superposition of its states in the two-level Jaynes-Cummings model interacting with a coherent state of light. The existence of the coherent-trapping of light is demonstrated by looking not only at the variance of the light phase about the coherent state value, and the number-phase uncertainty relation, but also at the factorization of the electric-field operator, and the photon-number distribution. We find also the factorization expression of the compound state of the atom-field system. We show once more that the phase properties of light based on the phase operator formalism of Pegg-Barnett and the coherence properties of light based on the coherence theory of Glauber are complementary in description of the optical quantum coherence.

Phase dynamics of coherent light in theM-photon Jaynes-Cummings model

Haoyan Meng, C. L. Chai, Z. M. Zhang

We have studied the phase properties of coherent light in the M-photon Jaynes-Cummings model using the Hermitian phase operator of Pegg and Barnett [Europhys. Lett. 6, 483 (1988)] and have found the collapse and revival phenomenon about the long-time behavior of the phase variance of the field. Also, we have given a reasonable interpretation of the phenomenon.

Dynamical Properties of the Field Phase in the Jaynes-Cummings Model

Ho Trung Dung, R. Tanaś, A.S. Shumovsky

Phase properties of a coherent field interacting with a two-level atom in an ideal cavity are studied using the new hermitian phase formalism of Pegg and Barnett. It is shown in particular that phase properties of the field reflect the collapse and revival phenomena. The effects of finite detuning and atomic coherences are treated. The results for the variance of the phase cosine are obtained and compared with those based on earlier approaches.

Population trapping in the Jaynes-Cummings model via phase coupling

J. I. Cirac, Luis Lorenzo Sánchez-Soto

An expression for the population inversion in the Jaynes-Cummings model and the most general initial state of the atom-field system is presented. States that maintain the same level of population inversion when the atom and the field are initially decoupled are found. When the atom is prepared in a coherent superposition of its states and the field is in an eigenstate of the Susskind-Glogower phase operator, for a certain choice of the relative phase between the atomic dipole and the field, coherent trapping occurs. The evolution of the squeezing of the field for these states is given, and the dependence on the phase and on the mean photon number of the field is studied.

Interaction of Squeezed Light with Two-level Atoms

H. M. Moya-Cessa, A. Vidiella-Barranco

We investigate some of the fundamental features of the interaction of squeezed light with two-level atoms in the framework of the Jaynes-Cummings model. We start our analysis by calculating the collapses and revivals of the atomic inversion. We discuss the degree of purity of the field (given by the entropy) and its disentanglement from the atomic source. The connection with the evolution of the Q-function is also made. We notice that contrary to the coherent state case, the field turns into a nearly pure (squeezed) state at the revival time as if the field was prepared in a coherent state. The field also becomes a superposition of squeezed states at half of the revival time, and this is confirmed by investigating the photon number distribution. The phase properties of the field are discussed using the Pegg-Barnett formalism.

TIME CHARACTERISTICS OF PHASE FLUCTUATION AND COHERENCE OF A COHERENT FIELD INTERACTING WITH AN ATOM

Fan A, Z Wang, Nian X. Sun

Based on the phase formalism of Pegg-Barnett and the quantum theory of opti. cal coherence of Glauber, the time characteristics of quantum phase fluctuation, quantum coherence and photon-number distribution of a coherent field interacting with a two-level atom in a ideal cavity are studied using dressed-atom states. The calculated results show that, in the case of resonant interaction of the atom and field, the atom acts as non-linear filter; quantum phase property and coherence of the field are also complementary in the way of description on optical incoherence.

Influence of the dipole-dipole interaction between atoms on the phase properties of light

Tian Yong-hong, PENG JIN-SHENG, Dahai Xu +1 more

The time evolution and the statistic characteristic of the light phase in the Tavis-Cummings (T-C) model of two identical two-level atoms coupled to a strong coherent light field are studied by means of the Pegg-Barnett phase theory. It is proved that the dipole-dipole interaction between atoms will lead to the frequency shift of light, the weakening of the degree of atom-field coupling and the restraint of light phase diffusion.
