Abstract

With the help of a two-photon Jaynes-Cummings model, which is an exactly solvable model, we have dealt analytically with the dynamical behavior of the atom and the field for a two-photon process in squeezed and coherent fields under the appropriate approximation. The features of collapses and revivals of Rabi oscillations for the atom and the field in a two-photon process represent strict periodicity. The phase jump and the large and negative frequency for the combination Rabi oscillation are exhibited in the case of a squeezed field. The results show that squeezing in a field strikingly affects the evolution behavior of the atom and the field.

Squeezed states of the Jaynes-Cummings model and their excitation in parametric processes

É. M. Verlan, Margarita A. Razumova

Squeezed states of the Jaynes-Cummings (JC) model are constructed and the statistical properties of the field oscillator in these states are studied. The presence of interaction between the field oscillator and the atom results in the appearance of slow temporal variations in the average values of the dynamic quantities. Two cases essentially differ: When only one of two modes of the JC model is excited, the variations in time, in particular, of the average value of the coordinate are governed by the mode anharmonicity. In the case when both modes of the JC model with close frequencies are excited, the temporal variations represent collapse and revival of oscillations with the frequency $$2k\sqrt {n + 1} $$ , where k is the constant of the atom-field oscillator interaction and n is the number of photons. The constructed squeezed vacuum states are not two-photon states, because the probability of finding an odd number of photons is not equal to zero and varies with time.

Study of Nonclassical Features and Quantum Dynamics in the Jaynes-Cummings Model Without RWA

Rui-hua Xie, Gong-ou Xu, Dun-huan Liu

Some nonclassical features, including photon antibunching, atomic squeezing and quantum collapse-revival phenomenon, were numerically studied in the vacuum field Jaynes–Cummings model (JCM). The influence of the initial atomic coherence on these features was discussed. It is shown that the squeezing can appear only if the atom is initially prepared in the coherent state, and photon antibunching can occur if the atom is initially in the excited state or the coherent one. The effect of the virtual-photon field was studied in JCM without the rotating-wave approximation (RWA). We have shown that even under the condition in which RWA is considered to be valid, there are significant effects on the nonc1assical features due to the interference between the virtual-photon processes and the real-photon processes. Quantum dynamics of JCM without RWA was also studied. We showed that regular dynamical behavior is exhibited in the cases rather close to the integrable limits, and irregular dynamical behavior is presented in the cases far from the integrable limits; in addition, all the nonclassical features disappear in the cases far from the integrable limits.

Analysis of a multiphoton Jaynes-Cummings model with squeezed inputs

Tariq Maqbool, M. S. K. Razmi

An m-photon Jaynes-Cummings model is analyzed assuming the field to be initially in the squeezed vacuum state or in a more general squeezed state. Collapses and revivals of the Rabi oscillations in the atomic population inversion appear for a general squeezed input, but not for a squeezed vacuum input. The second-order coherence function is found to exhibit collapses and revivals for large initial average photon numbers. With a low-intensity input field and large m, one can achieve nearly steady-state squeezing.

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.

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

Amitabh Joshi, Ravinder Rupchand Puri

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.

Dynamics of a three-level atom in a two-mode squeezed vacuum

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

In this paper we study the dynamics of a three-level atom interacting with a two-mode squeezed vacuum, a highly correlated state in which each mode contains the same number of quanta yet exhibits a thermal photon distribution. Under exact resonance, the Rabi oscillations exhibit an irregular behavior reminiscent of those in the thermal-state Jaynes-Cummings model. If the individual field modes are sufficiently detuned from the intermediate atomic level, the Rabi oscillations become quasiperiodic. The three-level system in this case reduces to an effective two-level system in which two-photon processes dominate. The times of revivals of the Rabi oscillations in this limit depend only on the atom-field coupling constants and the detuning. For comparison, we present a parallel study of the case in which the initial field is prepared in an uncorrelated two-mode state, such as a two-mode thermal state or a two-mode coherent state. Under the full resonance condition, the former leads to an irregular evolution of the Rabi oscillations, while the latter leads to the usual collapse and revival phenomena. If the individual modes are sufficiently detuned from the intermediate atomic level, we observe the same quasiperiodicity of the Rabi oscillations as in the case of the two-mode squeezed vacuum but with a doubling of revival times (for equal atom-field coupling constants). Whereas the two-mode squeezed vacuum and the two-mode thermal-state transition dynamics lead to correlation between the field modes, the two-mode coherent state leads to anticorrelation (when sufficiently detuned from the intermediate atomic level).

An m-photon Jaynes-Cummings model is analyzed assuming the field to be initially in the squeezed vacuum state or in a more general squeezed state. Collapses and revivals of the Rabi oscillations in the atomic population inversion appear for a general squeezed input, but not for a squeezed vacuum input. The second-order coherence function is found to exhibit collapses and revivals for large initial average photon numbers. With a low-intensity input field and large m, one can achieve nearly steady-state squeezing.
