Damping effect in the interaction of a Ξ-type three-level atom with a single-mode field: Caldirola–Kanai approach
Roohollah Daneshmand, Mohammad Kazem Tavassoly
Abstract In this paper the damped interaction between a Ξ -type three-level atom and a quantized single-mode cavity field is studied, where the Hamiltonian of the field is performed based on the Caldirola–Kanai damping Hamiltonian . The amplitude probabilities of the atom–field entangled state associated with the system considered have been explicitly deduced and the time evolution of a few of its physical properties is discussed. In detail, the influence of the damping parameter on the temporal behavior of the linear entropy, sub-Poissonian statistics as well as quadrature and amplitude squared squeezing is numerically investigated. Besides these, as an additional purpose of the paper, the effects of the initial field type as well as the initial mean photon number of the field on the above-mentioned properties are evaluated numerically. It is shown that via adjusting the damping parameter, initial field and its intensity, one can tune the degree of entanglement and other nonclassicality features.
