Abstract
The time-evolution of the atom′s occupancy in the system of two-mode entangled coherent fields interacting with two atoms in Bell states via two-photon process is investigated by means of quantum theory.The results show that the atom′s occupancy is zero if the two atoms are initially in Bell state |β11.If the two atoms are initially in the other three Bell states,the oscillation frequency of the atom′s occupancy accelerates and the amplitude decreases apparently with the increase of mean photon numbers of field.The degree of the entanglement for the entangled coherent fields can′t influence the oscillation frequency and the position of the atom′s occupancy curve.If the two atoms are initially in Bell state |β01,the Rabi oscillation frequency of the atom′s occupancy accelerates apparently with the increase of the coupling strength of interaction between atoms.While the two atoms are initially in Bell state |β10 or |β00,the collapse-revival phenomenon of the atom′s occupancy disappears gradually.
