Abstract
The evolution properties of quantum entropy of the field in the Fock state interacting resonantly with a pair of identical two-level entangled atoms in Bell states are studied by utilizing of the complete quantum theory and by the numerical method.The evolution periodicity of quantum field entropy is π/g2(2n+1)~1/2when the two atoms are initially in the first kind of Bell state.The quantum entanglement between the field and the atoms decreases with the increase of the initial field intensity,and the field is completely disentangled from the atoms when the time is a whole-number multiple of the evolution peridicity.The quantum field entropy isn't change with the time and always remains at zero when the two atoms are initially in the second kind of Bell state.The evolution curves of quantum field entropy periodically oscillates with unequal amplitude when the two atoms are initially in the third and the fourth kind of Bell state respectively,and the periodicity of the oscillation of the quantum field entropy increases with the increases of the initial photon number,while the amplitude of the oscillation decreases.The Bell states composed of a pair of identical two-level atoms can be partially distinguished based on the evolution properties of quantum field entropy above.
