Enhanced Entanglement of Two Atoms Confined in a Multimode Optical Cavity
Takayoshi Kobayashi
Abstract
A numerical calculation of entanglement dynamics between two nonresonant atoms interacting with a multimode optical cavity field has shown that the field enhances the degree of entanglement between the two atoms. Using the position of one atom of the pair as a controlling parameter, entanglement dynamics is analyzed in terms of the entanglement of formation, making a comparison with the dynamics in a single-mode cavity field. It is shown that the degree of entanglement of the present system is enhanced by the usage of multimode cavity and by positioning the atom closely at the node of the field mode.
