Dynamics of two N-level atoms (N=2, 3) in nonideal cavities

Abstract
We investigated numerically the time-dependent behavior of atoms populations and mean number of photons in cavities with losses. To derive the dynamic equations, we used the method of oscillator and atomic coherent states. We also took into account the various locations of the atoms in the cavity and their movement through the cavity. The losses of photons in the cavities were considered in the Wigner-Weisskopf approximation.
