Abstract
Under on-resonance condition and far-off-resonance condition, at first, we used the full quantum theory to educe the wave function of the system. Secondly, we utilized entropy theory, in virtue of the wave function, to discuss the effects of the initial mean photon number?the atomic motion and the field-mode structure on the evolution of the field(atom) entropy at length in the interaction of a three-level moving atom with field. The results show that the atomic motion leads to the periodic evolution of the field entropy, this periodicity does not depend on the statistical distribution and the intensity of the initial field mode, but depend on the atomic motion and the field-mode structure parameters ep. Both on-resonance condition and far-off-resonance condition, when making a suitable choice for parameter ep (this choice is experimentally possible),we can get pure field state for a long time.
