Abstract

Coherent signal containing thermal noise is a mixed state of radiation. There are two distinct classes of such states, a Gaussian state obtained by Glauber-Lachs mixing and a non-Gaussian state obtained by the canonical probabilistic mixing of thermal state and coherent state. Though both these versions are noise-included signal states, the effect of noise is less pronounced in the Glauber-Lachs version. Effects of these two distinct ways of noise addition is considered in the context of atom-field interaction; in particular, temporal evolution of population inversion and atom-field entanglement are studied. Quantum features like the collapse-revivals in the dynamics of population inversion and entanglement are diminished by the presence of thermal noise. It is shown that the features lost due to the presence of thermal noise are restored by the process of photon-addition.

Glauber-Lachs version of the Jaynes-Cummings interaction of a two-level atom

M. Venkata Satyanarayana, M. Vijayakumar, P. M. Alsing

The dynamics of the Jaynes-Cummings interaction of a two-level atom interacting with a single mode of a radiation field prepared in a Glauber-Lachs state is investigated to study the development of seemingly chaotic oscillations of the atomic inversion from a regular collapse-and-revival phenomenon, as the field statistics is changed from the coherent state to the thermal state. The effect of thermal photons on the coherent light is shown to be striking: Both the photon distribution as well as the atomic inversion are highly sensitive to even a very small addition of thermal photons to an initially coherent radiation field. We also compare the collapse and revival occurring in the micromaser case with the Glauber-Lachs version of the Jaynes-Cummings model.

Nonclassicality of Photon Added Bipartite Glauber Lachs State

Sathiyabama Ramanujam, A. Basherrudin Mahmud Ahmed

Abstract Mixture of coherent state with thermal noise is known as the Glauber Lachs state, which is taken into consideration. Nonlocal photon addition is imposed on the two mode Glauber Lachs state by the application of bosonic creation operators. This nonlocal photon addition induces nonclassicality, revealed in the single mode and two mode squeezing properties. The ratio of the coherent noise to thermal noise is the key factor in observing the nonclassical features. The tolerance limit of the noise for the nonclassicality is discussed in single mode squeezing and two mode squeezing quadrature operators. The results show that the squeezing properties are less pronounced even for the low level of thermal noise.

Atomic and entanglement dynamics in the mixed squeezed coherent state version of the Jaynes-Cummings interaction

Koushik Mandal, Pooja Jethwani, Satyanarayana, M. Venkata

Coherent signal containing squeezed noise in a mixed state of radiation field is considered here as a non-Gaussian mixture of a coherent state density operator and a squeezed state density operator, as opposed to the usual well known squeezed coherent state. Both these states are `quantum' noise-included signal states. Effects of these two distinct ways of adding squeezing to a coherent state are compared and contrasted. The main objective of this work is to study the mixed state version of the Jaynes-Cummings model in the context of a two-level atom interacting with a mixed field state of a squeezed vacuum and a coherent state. The pure squeezed coherent state (PSCS) and the mixed squeezed coherent state (MSCS) are used as the states of the radiation field. The photon-counting distribution (PCD), the atomic inversion and the entanglement dynamics of atom-field interaction for both the radiation fields are investigated and compared with each other. We observe that depending on the state of the field, squeezing has very different effects on coherent photons. Mild squeezing on the coherent photons strongly localizes the PCD for PSCS; however, for MSCS there is no such localization observed - instead squeezing manifests for MSCS as oscillations in the PCD. The effects of squeezing on the atomic inversion and the entanglement dynamics for MSCS are contrasting in comparison with the corresponding quantities associated with PSCS. It is well known in the literature that for PSCS, increasing the squeezing increases the well-known ringing revivals in the atomic inversion, and also increases irregularity in the entanglement dynamics. However, increasing the squeezing in MSCS very significantly alters the collapse-revival pattern in the atomic inversion and the entanglement dynamics of the Jaynes-Cummings model.

The role of thermal and squeezed photons in the entanglement dynamics of the double Jaynes–Cummings model

Koushik Mandal, Chandrashekar Radhakrishnan, M V Satyanarayana

Abstract The effects of squeezed photons and thermal photons on the entanglement dynamics of atom-atom, atom-field and field-field subsystems are studied for the double Jaynes–Cummings model. For this purpose, squeezed coherent states and Glauber-Lachs states of radiation are chosen as field states. For the atomic states, we choose one of the Bell state as pure state and a Werner-type state as mixed state. Werner-type state is used to understand the effects of mixedness on entanglement. To measure the entanglement between the two atoms, Wootters’ concurrence is used; whereas for the atom-field and field-field subsystems, negativity is chosen. The squeezed photons and thermal photons create, destroy and transfer entanglement within various subsystems. Also, the addition of squeezed photons and thermal photons either lengthens or shortens the duration of entanglement sudden deaths (ESD) associated with atom-atom, atom-field and field-field entanglement dynamics in a complementary way. The effects of Ising-type interaction, detuning and Kerr-nonlinearity on the entanglement dynamics are studied. Each of these interactions removes the ESDs associated with various subsystems. We show that new entanglements are created in this atom-field system by introducing Ising-type interaction between the two atoms. With proper choice of the parameters corresponding to Ising-type interaction, detuning and Kerr-nonliearity, entanglement can be transferred among various subsystems.

Entropy squeezing of a Jaynes–Cummings atom with the Glauber–Lachs state

Hünkar Kayhan

In this paper, we investigate the entropy squeezing of a two-level atom interacting with a quantum field prepared initially in the Glauber–Lachs state by using the Jaynes–Cummings model. We explore the effects of increasing the intensity of the thermal field over a fixed intensity of the coherent field on the entropy squeezing of the atom. We show that increasing the number of thermal photons in the coherent field has a destructive effect on the entropy squeezing of the atom.

System mixedness as a contributor to entanglement in the Jaynes–Cummings model

Hünkar Kayhan

The effects of a chaotic field on the entanglement dynamics in a system of interaction of a two-level atom with a single-mode cavity field prepared in a Glauber–Lachs state were investigated in the framework of the Jaynes–Cummings model. We found that the entanglement is a non-monotonic function of the ratio of the mean numbers of thermal photons and coherent photons or, equivalently, the degree of initial mixedness of the system. There is an optimal value of this ratio up to which thermal photons contribute increasingly to the entanglement and after which they weaken the strength of the entanglement.
