Operator Analysis of a Two-level Atom in a Radiation Field

Kisik Kim, Jongmin Lee

Published May 1, 1991• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

A two-level atom interacting with an electromagnetic field is investigated. Using a canonical transformation, a Hamiltonian analysis is carried out. The transformed Hamiltonian manifestly shows various features, in particular, the effects of the interaction Hamiltonian on both the atom and the field are obtained simultaneously.

Two-level atom in a cross cavity

J. C. García-Melgarejo, Javier J. Sanchez-Mondragon, Karla J. Sánchez Pérez +1 more

In this work we propose a model to analyze the interaction of a two-level atom (TLA) placed in a cross cavity configuration interacting with two electromagnetic fields injected within the cavity. A canonical transformation for field operators is proposed to obtain ef­fective Hamiltonian such as that of Jaynes-Cummings and we calculate the wave function via time-evolution operator. We present results for the atomic inversion for a state in the weak intensity regime.

A Generalized Hamiltonian Characterizing the Interaction of the Two-Level Atom and both the Single Radiation Mode and External Field

Kazuyuki Fujii

In this paper we propose some Hamiltonian characterizing the interaction of the two-level atom and both the single radiation mode and external field, which might be a generalization of that of Sch{ö}n and Cirac (quant-ph/0212068). We solve them in the strong coupling regime under some conditions (the rotating wave approximation, resonance condition and etc), and obtain unitary transformations of four types to perform Quantum Computation.

Das Strahlungsfeld eines quantisierten Stromes

Josef Kamphusmann, B. Echtermeyer

Abstract The HAMILTONian of a model for an atom interacting with radiation is diagonalized by neglecting the energy operator of the atom whereas the interaction is completely taken into account. The eigenstates correspond to the states which are generated by a classical current. For the two level atom interacting with one mode of the radiation only, the complete HAMILTONian is reduced to two operators containing only variables of the photon field.

Spontaneous emission of light from atoms: the model

P. Marecki, N. Szpak

We investigate (non-relativistic) atomic systems interacting with quantum electromagnetic field (QEF). The resulting model describes spontaneous emission of light from a two-level atom surrounded by various initial states of the QEF. We assume that the quantum field interacts with the atom via the standard, minimal-coupling Hamiltonian, with the A2 term neglected. We also assume that there will appear at most single excitations (photons). By conducting the analysis on a general level we allow for an arbitrary initial state of the QEF (which can be for instance: the vacuum, the ground state in a cavity, or the squeezed state). We derive a Volterra-type equation which governs the time evolution of the amplitude of the excited state. The two-point function of the initial state of the QEF, integrated with a combination of atomic wavefunctions, forms the kernel of this equation.

THE MULTIPOLE EXPANSION IN QUANTUM THEORY

Jan Fiutak

The Hamiltonian of a system of charged particles interacting with the electromagnetic field is investigated. For an arbitrary system the multipole expansion of the interaction between the system and the field is derived by means of a suitable canonical transformation. The transformed Hamiltonian is obtained from the Hamiltonian of the system by replacing the momenta by the transformed kinetic momenta and by adding to the Hamiltonian a term representing the interaction of the system with the electric component of the field. By expanding this interaction term, as well as the transformed momenta, in powers of the dimension of the system over the wavelength, the multipole expansion of the Hamiltonian is obtained. For a system interacting with a classical field the multipole form of the Hamiltonian is exactly equivalent to the original Hamiltonian. For a quantized field this is not true, and the multipole form of the transformed Hamiltonian is shown to be equivalent to the original Hamiltonian only for first-order radiation processes.

Interaction between a Spatially Extended Collection of Two-Level Systems and a Resonant Radiation Mode

A. Shalom

This paper reports on the analysis of a spatially extended collection of two-level systems inside a cavity filled with electromagnetic radiation. A new feature of the analysis is the consideration of different strengths of coupling between different atoms and the field (due to the variation of the field intensity inside the cavity). The results are qualitatively different from those obtained under the assumption of equal coupling for all atoms.
