运动原子多光子J-C模型中的熵交换与纠缠

考虑一个运动的二能级原子与单模热光场经由多光子过程相互作用, 利用量子约化熵理论研究原子与场之间的熵交换、用Concurrence量度原子与场之间的纠缠, 讨论原子初态、原子运动、热场平均光子数以及跃迁光子数对熵交换和纠缠的影响. 结果表明: 考虑原子运动时, 原子和光场熵变呈现周期性, 且发生熵交换现象; 与热光场的相互作用导致运动原子与场纠缠, 多光子过程有利于纠缠加强. 在原子和光场熵变均为零处, 纠缠也为零.

Entropy exchange and entanglement in the multi-photon J-C model of a moving atom

Considering a moving two-level atom interacting with a single-mode thermal field through multi-photon process, in this paper we study the entropy exchange between the atom and the field by using quantum partial entropy and entanglement measured by using Concurrence, and investigate the effects of the initial atomic state, the atomic motion, the mean photon number and the transition photon number on entropy and entanglement. The results show that the entropy exchange and the entanglement exhibit the periodic evolution due to atomic motion, and entropy exchange occurs. The entanglement between the atom and the field is strengthened as the transition photon number increases. When the partial entropy exchange between atom and field is zero, the entanglement is also zero.
