Dissipative Dynamics of the Jaynes-Cummings Model with a Kerr Medium

Abstract
The full quantum theory is applied to the investigation of the entanglement between atom and field and the losses of coherence of the total system and its subsystems in the Jaynes-Cummings model with a Kerr medium.Linear entropies of the system,the atom and the field are calculated under the assumptions of dispersive atom-field interaction and initial coherent field states.The results show that the coherence loss of the atom is independent of the Kerr effect,the coherence loss of the system and that of the field are enhanced by the presence of the Kerr medium,and the entanglement between atom and field is suppressed by the medium.The time evolution of field entropy is affected by the cavity dissipation qualitatively as well as quantitatively.Only through cavity dissipation can the influence of Kerr effect on field entropy exhibit.
