N-level Atom Interacting with Single-mode Radiation Field: An Exactly Solvable Model with Multiphoton Transitions and Intensity-dependent Coupling

Abstract

We study the dynamics of an N-level atom coupled in a lossless cavity to a single-mode near-resonant quantized field. The atomic levels are coupled by the multiphoton transitions and the coupling constants between the field and the atomic levels are supposed to be intensity dependent. We find the exact solution for the state vector describing the dynamics of the atom-plus-field system. As an illustration we use the model for studying (i) the time evolution of the atomic occupation probability with the initially coherent field and (ii) the light squeezing, when the cavity field is initially in the vacuum state and the atom is prepared in the atomic ‘coherent state’ (a superposition of atomic states).

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.

Two Atom-single Mode Radiation Field Interaction

Ho Trung Dung, Nguyen Dinh Huyen

An exact solution for the problem of two two-level atoms interacting with a single-mode detuned quantized radiation field is presented. On resonance, an asymptotic result is derived for large coherent initial fields. It is shown that when the atoms are initially prepared in one of the semiclassical eigenstates, the atom-plus-field wavefunction remains almost factored into an atomic and a field part throughout the interaction. Under certain conditions, the atomic part evolves into a unique pure state at half-revival time. The effects of the cavity detuning on the dynamics of the atomic level occupation probabilities and emission spectra are studied. It is found, for non-symmetrical excitation, that far off-resonance the field acts like a virtual level by means of which the energy is transferred between the atoms. Due to non-zero detuning, nine-peaked spectra are observed and are given a clear explanation from the dressed-state viewpoint. It is established that in the case of symmetrical excitation, the intensity of the emission spectrum is two times larger than that in the case of non-symmetrical excitation.

DYNAMICS OF STATES IN THE NONLINEAR INTERACTION REGIME BETWEEN A THREE-LEVEL ATOM AND GENERALIZED COHERENT STATES AND THEIR NON-CLASSICAL FEATURES

Mohammad Kazem Tavassoly, Fatemeh Yadollahi

The present study investigates the interaction of an equidistant three-level atom and a single-mode cavity field that has been initially prepared in a generalized coherent state. The atom–field interaction is considered to be, in general, intensity-dependent. We suppose that the nonlinearity of the initial generalized coherent state of the field and the intensity-dependent coupling between atom and field are distinctly chosen. Interestingly, an exact analytical solution for the time evolution of the state of atom–field system can be found in this general regime in terms of the nonlinearity functions. Finally, the presented formalism has been applied to a few known physical systems such as Gilmore–Perelomov and Barut–Girardello coherent states of SU(1,1) group, as well as a few special cases of interest. Mean photon number and atomic population inversion will be calculated, in addition to investigating particular non-classicality features such as revivals, sub-Poissonian statistics and quadratures squeezing of the obtained states of the entire system. Also, our results will be compared with some of the earlier works in this particular subject.

Interaction of two two-level atoms with a single-mode squeezed field

Lei Xu, Zhiming Zhang, Jin-lin Chai

The N-photon interaction of two two-level atoms with a single-mode quantized radiation field is studied. The general expression for the state vector of the atom–field system is presented with the probability amplitudes in analytic form. For the initial condition in which the atoms are both at their upper levels and the field is in a squeezed state, we study the time evolution of the atomic population inversions and that of the statistics of the field. We find that the ratio of the two coupling constants, the initial squeezing of the field, and N have significant effects on the features of the atoms and of the field.

Nonclassical states in cavity with injected atoms

Gombojav O. Ariunbold, Jan Peřina, Ts. Gantsog

It is found that displacement and squeezing of arbitrary initial states of the field can be produced in the model of a lossless cavity when a large number of two-level atoms is injected, which are prepared in a superposition state coupled to the single mode via a multi-photon transition under the weak atom-field interaction. The dependence of the field density matrix elements on the number of injected atoms indicates that due to the same initial atomic coherence the emission of individual atoms is a co-operative process.

Dynamics of two-atom two-photon Tavis-Cummings model with intensity-dependent coupling

Eugene K. Bashkirov, Svetlana V. Volkova

An exact solution of the problem of two two-level atoms with nondegenerate two-photon transitions and intensitydependent coupling interacting with two-mode radiation field is presented. Asymptotic solution for system state vector is obtained in the approximation of large initial coherent fields. The atom-field entanglement is investigated on the basis of the reduced atomic entropy dynamics. The possibility of the system being initially in a pure disentangled state to revive into this state during the evolution process is shown. Conditions and times of disentanglement are derived.
