Microscopic versusphenomenological master equations for Jaynes-Cummings model with the cavity losses
Xiao Wang
Abstract
Microscopic and phenomenological Microscopic master equations have been applied to Jaynes-Cummings model with the cavity losses when the initial state of composite system(atom+cavity) is Bell state or atomic excitation state and the field state is vacuum.The differences of the two kinds of master equations have been analyzed in different coupling regimes.We find that in strong coupling regime,the increase of the population of atomics ground state is linear using the microscopic master equation,but it is non-linear by the phenomenological master equation under large coupling constants.In small coupling constants the population of atomic ground state is similar to the situations in large coupling constants.Although the ground-state populations in the two equations increase rapidly in weak coupling region,this result by phenomenological master equation increases faster than that by microscopic master equation.The conclusion may be useful for cavity quantum electrodynamics(QED) in losses cavity to provide guidance for the realization of logical gate.
