The squeezing dynamics of two independent atoms by detuning in two non-Markovian environments

The squeezing dynamics of two independent two-level atoms off-resonantly coupled to two non-Markovian reservoirs is studied by the time-convolutionless master-equation approach. We find that the squeezing of two atoms is dependent on both detuning and the non-Markovian effect. Our results show that, in the non-Markovian regime, the bigger the detuning and the stronger the non-Markovian effect are, the larger the strength of the squeezing is. And the squeezing of two atoms can be effectively protected for a long time when both the non-Markovian effect and detuning are present simultaneously. The physical mechanism is that the detuning not only can promote the feedback of information from the environment into the atomic system but also can greatly suppress the atomic decay in the non-Markovian regime.     

Influence of the virtual photon field on the squeezing properties of atom laser

This paper investigates the squeezing properties of an atom laser without rotating-wave approximation in the system of a binomial states field interacting with a two-level atomic Bose--Einstein condensate. It discusses the influences of atomic eigenfrequency, the interaction intensity between the optical field and atoms,parameter of the binomial states field and virtual photon field on the squeezing properties. The results show that two quadrature components of an atom laser can be squeezed periodically. The duration and the degree of squeezing an atom laser have something to do with the atomic eigenfrequency and the parameter of the binomial states field, respectively. The collapse and revival frequency of atom laser fluctuation depends on the interaction intensity between the optical field and atoms. The effect of the virtual photon field deepens the depth of squeezing an atom laser.     

Modulating quantum Fisher information of qubit in dissipative cavity by coupling strength

By using the non-Markovian master equation, we investigate the effect of the cavity and the environment on the quantum Fisher information(QFI) of an atom qubit system in a dissipation cavity. We obtain the formulae of QFI for two different initial states and analyze the effect of the atom–cavity coupling and the cavity–reservoir coupling on the QFI.The results show that the dynamic behavior of the QFI is obviously dependent on the initial atomic states, the atom–cavity coupling, and the cavity–reservoir coupling. The stronger the atom–cavity coupling, the quicker the QFI oscillates, and the slower the QFI decreases. In particular, the QFI will tend to be a stable value rather than zero if the atom–cavity coupling is large enough. On the other hand, the smaller the cavity–reservoir coupling, the stronger the non-Markovian effect, and the slower the QFI decays. In other words, choosing the best parameter can improve the accuracy of the parameter estimation.In addition, the physical explanation of the dynamic behavior of the QFI is given by means of the QFI flow.     

Controlling dipole squeezing of two atoms inside a cavity via manipulating an atom outside the cavity

Considering that three two-level atoms are initially in the GHZ single state and two of the atoms are simultaneously put into a cavity initially in the coherent state, we investigate the dipole squeezing properties of the two atoms inside the cavity under the condition of resonant interaction. It is shown that dipole squeezing properties of the two atoms inside the cavity are strongly affected by rotation manipulating of the atom outside the cavity.     

Cavity-Induced Enhancement of Squeezing in Resonance Fluorescence of a V-Type Three-Level Atom

The quadrature squeezing spectra in the resonance fluorescence of a V-type three-level atom driven by a coherent field and coupled to a single-mode cavity is investigated. For weak excitation, the fluorescence field exhibit squeezing in the out-of-phase quadrature. The coupling between the atom and the cavity mode can greatly enhance the squeezing centred at the laser frequency. More importantly, for strong excitation, under the effect of the cavity-atom coupling, the in-phase quadrature of fluorescence can exhibit two-mode squeezing at the two inner sideband frequencies. By working in the dressed-state representation and hiring secular approximation, we give an analytical explanation for the effect. The result shows, under appropriate conditions, the squeezing can be greatly enhanced by appropriately tuning the cavity resonant frequency.     

Single-atom entropy squeezing and quantum entanglement in Tavis--Cummings model with atomic motion

We examine the single-atom entropy squeezing and the atom-field entanglement in a system of two moving twolevel atoms interacting with a single-mode coherent field in a lossless resonant cavity.Our numerical calculations indicate that the squeezing period,the squeezing time and the maximal squeezing can be controlled by appropriately choosing the atomic motion and the field-mode structure.The atomic motion leads to a periodical time evolution of entanglement between the two-atom and the field.Moreover,there exists corresponding relation between the time evolution properties of the atomic entropy squeezing and that of the entanglement between the two atoms and the field.     

Squeezing via coupling of Bose--Einstein condensates in a double-well potential with a cavity light field

Squeezing via the interaction between the cavity light field and the Bose Einstein Condensate （BEC） in a doublewell potential is considered within the context of the two-mode approximation. For the cavity light field initially in a coherent state, it is shown that by choosing appropriate parameters, quadrature squeezing of the cavity light field can be achieved and it exhibits periodic oscillation. We also study the case in which BEC is tuned to resonance by periodically modulating the trapping potentiaL and the quadrature squeezing of the cavity field exhibits periodic collapse and revival effect. Both analytic and numerical calculations are performed, and they are found to be in good agreement with each other. The result shows that the quantum statistical properties of the cavity light field can be manipulated by its coupling with the condensates in the double-well potential. On the other hand, dynamical properties of the condensates in the double-well potential will be reflected by the quadrature squeezing of the light field.     

Preparation of optimal entropy squeezing state of atomic qubit inside the cavity via two-photon process and manipulation of atomic qubit outside the cavity

Considering two atomic qubits initially in Bell states, we send one qubit into a vacuum cavity with two-photon resonance and leave the other one outside. Using quantum information entropy squeezing theory, the time evolutions of the entropy squeezing factor of the atomic qubit inside the cavity are discussed for two cases, i.e., before and after rotation and measurement of the atomic qubit outside the cavity. It is shown that the atomic qubit inside the cavity has no entropy squeezing phenomenon and is always in a decoherent state before the operating atomic qubit outside the cavity. However,the periodical entropy squeezing phenomenon emerges and the optimal entropy squeezing state can be prepared for the atomic qubit inside the cavity by adjusting the rotation angle, choosing the interaction time between the atomic qubit and the cavity, controlling the probability amplitudes of subsystem states. Its physical essence is cutting the entanglement between the atomic qubit and its environment, causing the atomic qubit inside the cavity to change from the initial decoherent state into maximum coherent superposition state, which is a possible way of recovering the coherence of a single atomic qubit in the noise environment.     

Squeezing effect of the cavity field in the two-atom Jaynes-Cummings model

Authors investigate the model that two two level atoms interact with a single mode cavity. The formulation of the time evolution operator for the two atom Jaynes Cummings model is presented by the bare states approach. Besides, squeezing effect of the cavity field is studied and some novel features are obtained.     

Effect of mode mode-competition on atom-atom entanglement

A system consisting of two atoms interacting with a two-mode vacuum is considered, where each atom is resonant with the two cavity modes through two different competing transitions. The effect of mode--mode competition on the atom--atom entanglement is investigated. We find that the entanglement between the two atoms can be induced by the mode--mode competition. For the initial atomic state |\varPsi(0)\rangle, whether the atoms are initially separated or entangled, a large or even maximal entanglement between them can be obtained periodically by introducing the mode--mode competition. For the initial atomic state |\varPhi(0)\rangle, the strong mode--mode competition can prevent the two atoms entangled initially from suffering entanglement sudden death; besides, it makes them in a more stable and longer-lived entanglement than in the non-competition case.     

DYNAMICS OF A TRAPPED ATOM INTERACTING WITH AN ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE OF CIRCULAR POLARIZATION

In this paper the dynamics of a trapped two-level atom interacting with a beam of electromagnetic wave of circular polarization is studied. In a frame rotating with the atomic transition frequency ω₀, the motion of the atom is governed by a nonlinear coupled Jaynes-Cummings (JC) Hamiltonian. By means of this nonlinear Hamiltonian, we study the atomic inversion, squeezing effect of the vibration mode and that of the atomic dipole, and the phase property as well as its fluctuation of the vibration mode. In the Lamb-Dicke limit, we get the results similar to those of the JC model; beyond the Lamb-Dicke limit, we find the evolution of these quantities becomes very complicated. The nonlinearity weakens the collapse-revival phenomenon of the atomic inversion and the squeezing effect; the evolution of the cosine phase operator becomes less predetermined with its fluctuation not enlarged.     

Entropy squeezing for a two-level atom in two-mode Raman coupled model with intrinsic decoherence

In this paper, we investigate the entropy squeezing for a two-level atom interacting with two quantized fields through Raman coupling. We obtain the dynamical evolution of the total system under the influence of intrinsic decoherence when the two quantized fields are prepared in a two-mode squeezing vacuum state initially. The effects of the field squeezing factor, the two-level atomic transition frequency, the second field frequency and the intrinsic decoherence on the entropy squeezing are discussed. Without intrinsic decoherence, the increase of field squeezing factor can break the entropy squeezing. The two-level atomic transition frequency changes only the period of oscillation but not the strength of entropy squeezing. The influence of the second field frequency is complicated. With the intrinsic decoherence taken into consideration, the results show that the stronger the intrinsic decoherence is, the more quickly the entropy squeezing will disappear. The increase of the atomic transition frequency can hasten the disappearance of entropy squeezing.     

Nonclassical Properties in Mesoscopic Josephson Junction with Excited Even and Odd Coherent States

Dynamic evolution of a mesoscopic Josephson junction (MJJ) interacting with excited even and odd coherent states is studied. It is shown that the supercurrent in MJJ exhibits both collapse and revival (CR) phenomenon and squeezing effect. It is also shown that the CR and squeezing of supercurrent are related to degree of excitation and average photon number.     

Information Entropy Squeezing for a Atom in Mode-Mode Competition System

The entropy squeezing properties for a two-level atom interacting with a two-mode field via two different competing transitions are investigated from a quantum information point of view. The influences of the initial state of the system and the relative coupling strength between the atom and the field on the atomic information entropy squeezing are discussed. Our results show that the squeezed direction and the frequency of the information entropy squeezing can be controlled by choosing the phase of the atom dipole and the relative competing strength of atom-field, respectively. We find that, under the same condition, no atomic variance squeezing is predicted from the HUR while optimal entropy squeezing is obtained from the EUR, so the quantum information entropy is a remarkable precision measure for the atomic squeezing in the considered system.     

Preparation of two and four atom entangled states

A scheme for preparing two and four atom entangled states is presented. It is based on atom cavity field interactions. Firatly, the cavity is prepared in the superposition of the number states through the atom undergoing a two photon transition, the secondly, the two or four identical two level atoms, which are all initially in their ground states, are sent through the cavity sequentially and can make resonant single photon transition in the cavity. Then atomic entangled states are created and the cav     

Photon bunching and anti-bunching with two dipole-coupled atoms in an optical cavity

We investigate the effect of the dipole–dipole interaction(DDI) on the photon statistics with two atoms trapped in an optical cavity driven by a laser field and subjected to cooperative emission. By means of the quantum trajectory analysis and the second-order correlation functions, we show that the photon statistics of the cavity transmission can be flexibly modulated by the DDI while the incoming coherent laser selectively excites the atom–cavity system's nonlinear Jaynes–Cummings ladder of excited states. Finally, we find that the effect of the cooperatively atomic emission can also be revealed by the numerical simulations and can be explained with a simplified picture. The DDI induced nonlinearity gives rise to highly nonclassical photon emission from the cavity that is significant for quantum information processing and quantum communication.     

Entanglement for a Bimodal Cavity Field Interacting with a Two-Level Atom

Negativity has been adopted to investigate the entanglement in a system composed of a two-level atom and a two-mode cavity field. Effects of Kerr-like medium and the number of photon inside the cavity on the entanglement are studied. Our results show that atomic initial state must be superposed, so that the two cavity field modes can be entangled. Moreover, we also conclude that the number of photon in the two cavity mode should be equal. The interaction between modes, namely, the Kerr effect, has a significant negative contribution. Note that the atom frequency and the cavity frequency have an indistinguishable effect, so a corresponding approximation has been made in this article. These results may be useful for quantum information in optics systems.     

Fast Generation of Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen States for Two Cavity Modes with a Collection of Driven Atoms

We propose an efficient scheme for realizing two-mode squeezing for two cavity modes with an atomic ensemble trapped in the cavity and driven by two classical fields. Through a suitable choice of the driving classical fields, the evolution dynamics of the two cavity modes is decoupled with the atomic system and described by a two-mode squeezing operator. We show that a highly squeezed state can be obtained at the output even with a bad cavity. The required experimental techniques are within the scope of what can be obtained in the BEG-cavity setup.     

Dynamic properties of atomic collective decay in cavity quantum electrodynamics

We theoretically study the collective decay of two atoms trapped in a single mode cavity and we describe the evolution of the population of Dicke states. We show that the collective decay property is strongly dependent on the phase of atomic radiation and the speeding up of collective decay can only be observed in a bad cavity regime. For in-or out-phase case,this occurs due to the quantum interference enhancement, no matter which atom is excited initially. For π/2 phase, the speeding up of collective decay takes place if the first atom is excited at the beginning. However, it disappears due to the quantum interference cancellation if the second atom is excited. Compared with the in-phase and out-phase cases,we also show that the speeding up of collective decay can be significantly enhanced in strong coupling regime for π/2 phase, although one atom is decoupled to the cavity in this condition. The study presented here is helpful to understand the physical mechanism of collective decay in cavity quantum electrodynamics and it provides a useful method to control the collective decay phenomenon via quantum interference effect.     

Faithfully probabilistic teleportation of an unknown atomic state and cavity field state with a single measurement

This paper shows that, based on the single-photon JC model depicting the resonant interaction of a two-level atom with a single cavity mode, an unknown atomic state and cavity photon superposition state can be faithfully telcported with only a single measurement. The scheme is probabilistie, its success lies on the event that the sender atom （or the medi-atom, for teleportation of cavity field state） is detected in the higher state. The scheme is in contrast to the previous ones of using a maximally two-particle entangled state as quantum channel.[第一段]
