Abstract

Abstract In this paper the interaction of a three-level atom in V -configuration with a two-mode quantized field in cavity optomechanics is studied. To achieve the purpose, we first deduce the effective Hamiltonian and evaluate the explicit time-dependent form of the state vector of the whole system by choosing special initial conditions for atom, field and the oscillatory mirror. Interestingly, we can obtain the time evolution of atomic linear entropy, population inversion, quantum statistics and squeezing, both analytically and numerically. The results show that the entanglement between the atom and the subsystem of field and mirror, and all above-mentioned physical quantities can be appropriately controlled by the initial atom-field state condition, the parameters of cavity optomechanics as well as atom-field coupling strengths. In particular, the appearance of collapse-revival phenomenon in the entanglement and quantum photon statistics, also the full sub-Poissonian statistics in the two modes of field as well as in the mechanical mode of optomechanical system are noticeable features of the work.

Entanglement of a three-level atom interacting with two-modes field in a cavity

Alejandra del Río‐Lima, Freddy Jackson Poveda-Cuevas, Octavio Castaños

Abstract The dynamics of an atom of three levels in Λ configuration interacting with a quantized field of two modes in a cavity is studied within the rotating wave approximation by considering experimental values of accessible hyperfine levels of alkali atoms. The Hamiltonian model is constructed on the basis of the direct product of the atomic states with Fock states of light. This simplified basis allows us to generalize the state of light to any quantum field. The interaction term of the Hamiltonian restricts the system to a 3D Hilbert space. The system’s time evolution results show some similarities with the effective two-level system, such as the presence of collapses and revivals and the atom-field entanglement. By an analysis of the statistics of the photons, we show that when the three-level atom is interacting with a coherent field of two modes, it is possible to control experimentally the statistics of the field to be super-Poissonian or sub-Poissonian by the choice of the initial atomic state.

Optomechanically induced anomalous population inversion in a hybrid system

Saeed Asiri, Wenchao Ge, Muhammad Suhail Zubairy

Abstract We consider a two-level atom interacting with a quantized field in an optomechanical cavity and study the population inversion of the atom in this hybrid optomechanical system. Analytical solutions of the excited state population in the hybrid system are derived for various initial states of the cavity field and the mechanical mirror in the limit of weak single-photon coupling regime. Due to the mechanical mirror, the population inversion exhibits anomalous behavior, compared to the results predicted by the Jaynes–Cummings (JC) model. For an initial Fock state cavity field, we show that the atomic population inversion can undergo collapses and revivals induced by the mechanical mirror which is in a Fock state for the resonant atom-field interaction. When the cavity field is far-detuned from the atomic transition, the atom can couple to the mechanical mirror effectively via the JC interaction. In this case, the atomic population inversion can display either full Rabi oscillations or the collapse and revival behavior induced by a Fock state or a coherent state of the mechanical mirror, respectively. We also explore an experimentally more relevant situation when the mechanical mirror is initially in a mixed state. We derive an analytical expression of the excited state population via the unitary evolution for the density operator of the whole system. We find that the population inversion in this case exhibits slower collapse and smaller revival amplitude due to the initial mixture of the mechanical state. For an initial coherent state cavity field, we show that the predicted collapse regime in the original JC model can display nonzero oscillating values. Our analytical predications are further confirmed with numerical calculations in which the dissipation mechanism from the system is included.

On the interaction between a time-dependent field and a two-level atom

N. H. Abdel-Wahab, Ahmed Salah

In this paper, we study the interaction between the time-dependent field and a two-level atom with one mode electromagnetic field. We consider that the field of photons is assumed to be coupled with modulated coupling parameter which depends explicitly on time. It is shown that the considered model can be reduced to a well-known form of the time-dependent generalized Jaynes–Cummings model. Under special initial conditions, in which the atom and the field are prepared in the excited and the coherent states, respectively, the explicit time evolution of the wave function of the entire system is analytically obtained. Our proposal has many advantages over the previous optical schemes and can be realized in several multiple experiments, such as trapped ions and quantum electrodynamics cavity. The influence of the time-dependent field parameter on the collapses-revivals, the normal squeezing of the radiation, the anti-bunching of photons and the entanglement phenomena for the considered atomic system is examined. The linear entropy, the von Neumann entropy are used to quantify entanglement in the quantum systems. We noticed that these phenomena are affected by the existence of both the time-dependent coupling field and detuning parameters.

Entanglement and statistical properties in cavity optomechanics with a single atom

Abstract We put forward a proposal to prepare tripartite interplay in a cavity optomechanical system with a two-level atom. We study the dynamical properties of the atomic linear entropy and find that the entanglement between the atom and the subsystem of the field and mechanical resonator can be effectively manipulated by atom coherence. The Mandel parameter is employed to reveal the sub-Poissonian statistics of the optical and mechanical modes. Moreover, we discuss the influence of the system dissipations, including atomic, optical and mechanical modes, on the temporal evolution of the linear entropy and the Mandel parameters.

Entanglement and Other Nonclassical Properties of Two Two-Level Atoms Interacting with a Two-Mode Binomial Field: Constant and Intensity-Dependent Coupling Regimes

Mohammad Kazem Tavassoly, H. Hekmatara

Abstract In this paper, we consider the interaction between two two-level atoms and a two-mode binomial field with a general intensity-dependent coupling regime. The outlined dynamical problem has explicit analytical solution, by which we can evaluate a few of its physical features of interest. To achieve the purpose of the paper, after choosing a particular nonlinearity function, we investigate the quantum statistics, atomic population inversion and at last the linear entropy of the atom-field system which is a good measure for the degree of entanglement. In detail, the effects of binomial field parameters, in addition to different initial atomic states on the temporal behavior of the mentioned quantities have been analyzed. The results show that, the values of binomial field parameters and the initial state of the two atoms influence on the nonclassical effects in the obtained states through which one can tune the nonclassicality criteria appropriately. Setting intensity-dependent coupling function equal to 1 reduces the results to the constant coupling case. By comparing the latter case with the nonlinear regime, we will observe that the nonlinearity disappears the pattern of collapse-revival phenomenon in the evolution of Mandel parameter and population inversion (which can be seen in the linear case with constant coupling), however, more typical collapse-revivals will be appeared for the cross-correlation function in the nonlinear case. Finally, in both linear and nonlinear regime, the entropy remains less than (but close to) 0.5. In other words the particular chosen nonlinearity does not critically affect on the entropy of the system.

Counter rotating terms and dipole–dipole interaction effects on the entanglement and population inversion of two qubits interacting with a two-mode field

Farshid Jahanbakhsh, Mohammad Kazem Tavassoly

Recalling that counter rotating terms (CRTs) in atom–field interaction are not always ignorable, particularly in the strong coupling regimes of atom–field systems, in this paper we are going to study the interaction between two qubits (two-level atoms) with a two-mode field in a high quality cavity by considering CRTs while the dipole–dipole (D–D) interaction is also taken into account. Indeed, by performing an appropriate dynamical Hamiltonian associated with the Jaynes–Cummings and anti-Jaynes–Cummings terms, as well as the D–D interaction for the system, we solve the corresponding time-dependent Schrödinger equation with specific initial conditions for atoms and field. In the continuation, concurrence, as an appropriate measure of the degree of entanglement of the two qubits, and atomic population inversion of the qubits, as the rate of energy exchange between atoms and field, are evaluated. Meanwhile, we investigate the influence of CRTs and D–D interaction (as well as other involved parameters in the model interaction) on the mentioned quantities. Our numerical results indicate that collapse-revival phenomenon can be observed in the absence of D–D interaction with or without rotating wave approximation, however, CRTs cause an increase or decrease in the number of collapse-revivals in a finite interval of time, depending on the chosen parameters. In fact, by entering the D–D interaction term, this phenomenon is destroyed and the time behaviour of the quantities experiences irregular oscillations. Noticing that the initial field is considered in the vacuum state, the occurrence of collapse-revival in the population inversion of the two qubits is an interesting feature of this work. As is shown, the degree of entanglement and atomic population inversion of the qubits can generally be tuned, and the death of entanglement can be prevented, both by adjusting the evolved parameters in the model.
