A two-parameter deformation of the Jaynes-Cummings model: path integral representation
R. Chakrabarti, R. Jagannathan
Abstract
A two-parameter (p, q) deformation of the Jaynes-Cummings model is obtained using a recently developed (p, q)-deformed oscillator. In the rotating wave approximation (RWA) the dynamical symmetry of the model is the quantum superalgebra u p,q (1 mod 1). The partition function of the model is obtained as a path integral over generalized Perelomov coherent states corresponding to the quantum algebra U p.q (1 mod 1). The complete spectrum of the model is extracted for both the case when the coupling constants are Grassman valued and when they are c-number valued. It is noted that a relaxation of the RWA extends the dynamical symmetry to the quantum superalgebra osp p,q (2 mod 2).
