Statistical Mixture of Kaleidoscope States Interacting with a Two-Level Atom: Entropy and Purification

Jorge Andres Anaya-Contreras, Arturo Zúñiga-Segundo, H. M. Moya-Cessa

We investigate some of the fundamental features of the interaction of a mixture of coherent states, namely, a Kaleidoscope states mixture, with two-level atoms in the Jaynes–Cummings model framework. We begin our analysis by calculating the von Neumann entropy of the field, which is determined with the help of the virtual atom method. The oscillations appearing in the entropy indicate a state of purity greater than the initial state, i.e., a purification of the initial state due to a transfer of coherence from the atom to the field. In this oscillatory region, we obtain a negative Wigner function that hints at a (noisy) multiple Schrödinger cat.

Effect of atomic decay on purity, total correlations and entanglement of pure and mixed states

H. A. Hessian

The atomic decay for a two level atom interacting with a single mode of electromagnetic field is considered. In particular for a coherent state or statistical mixture (SM) of two opposite coherent states as initial field states, the exact solution of the master equation is found. Effect of the atomic damping on the partial entropies of the atom or the field and the total entropy as a measures of the purity loss is investigated. The degree of entanglement by the negativity and the mutual information and the atomic coherence through the master equation is studied.

A treatment of the quantum partial entropies in the atom-field interaction with a class of Schrodinger cat states

A.‐S. F. Obada, H. A. Hessian, Mahmoud Abdel‐Aty

This communication is an enquiry into the circumstances under which entropy and subentropy methods can give an answer to the question of quantum entanglement in the composite state. Using a general quantum dynamical system we obtain the analytical solution when the atom initially starts from its excited state and the field in different initial states. Different features of the entanglement are investigated when the field is initially assumed to be in a coherent state, an even coherent state (Schrodinger cate state) and a statistical mixture of coherent states. Our results show that the setting of the initial state and the Stark shift play important role in the evolution of the sub-entropies and entanglement.
