Effect of Cavity Decay on Entanglement of Ladder-Type Three-Level Atoms and a Two-Mode Cavity Field
Gao Cheng-Yuan, Liu Jin-Ming, Лей Ма
Considering the adiabatical approximation and the large detuning condition, we give the effective Hamiltonian of a ladder-type three levels atom interacting with a bimodal cavity field. If two identical three-level atoms are sent through the cavity one by one, a two-atom entangled state can be generated. With the choice of the appropriate interaction time, a maximally entangled state of two atoms can be obtained if decoherence effect is ignored. Moreover, we discuss the effect of cavity decay on four physical quantities including atomic population probability, residual entanglement of the first atom and the cavity field, concurrence between the two atoms, and fidelity for generating atomic EPR state, all of which decrease with the increase of cavity decay when the other parameters are fixed.
