Properties of linear entropy evolution in dissipative atom-cavity system
Yang Xiao-ming
Abstract
Based on quantum theory, an investigation is conducted on the evolution characteristics of linear entropies of 1) atoms, 2) two cavities and 3) atom-cavity system in the interaction process of two entangled dissipative cavities and a single two-level atom which runs through one of cavities. The effect of the dissipative constant and the coupling strength of interaction between atom and cavity field on all three linear entropies is discussed for the resonant case.The results show that all three linear entropies strongly depend on the dissipative constant of cavity and the coupling strength between cavity field and atoms. Furthermore, the dissipative constant and the strength of interaction between atoms and cavity field affect not only the amplitude of the oscillation of field quantum entropy evolution but also its periodicity.
