Entanglement for two-atom Tavis–Cummings model with degenerate two-photon transitions in the presence of the Stark shift

The dynamics of atom–field entanglement for two two-level atoms with degenerate two-photon transitions interacting with one-mode radiation field with taking into account the Stark shift is investigated. Asymptotic solutions for system state vectors are obtained in the approximation of large initial coherent fields. The atom–field entanglement is investigated also on the basis of the linear atomic entropy dynamics. The possibility of the system being initially in a pure disentangled state to revive into this state during the evolution process is shown. Conditions and times of disentanglement are derived.     

Effective Hamiltonian of the Jaynes–Cummings model beyond rotating-wave approximation

The Jaynes–Cummings model with or without rotating-wave approximation plays a major role to study the interaction between atom and light. We investigate the Jaynes–Cummings model beyond the rotating-wave approximation. Treating the counter-rotating terms as periodic drivings, we solve the model in the extended Floquet space. It is found that the full energy spectrum folded in the quasi-energy bands can be described by an effective Hamiltonian derived in the highfrequency regime. In contrast to the Z_2 symmetry of the original model, the effective Hamiltonian bears an enlarged U(1)symmetry with a unique photon-dependent atom-light detuning and coupling strength. We further analyze the energy spectrum, eigenstate fidelity and mean photon number of the resultant polaritons, which are shown to be in accordance with the numerical simulations in the extended Floquet space up to an ultra-strong coupling regime and are not altered significantly for a finite atom-light detuning. Our results suggest that the effective model provides a good starting point to investigate the rich physics brought by counter-rotating terms in the frame of Floquet theory.     

Gravitational Jaynes–Cummings model beyond the rotating wave approximation

In this paper, the quantum properties of a two-level atom and the cavity-field in the Jaynes?CCummings model with the gravity beyond the rotating wave approximation are investigated. For this purpose, by solving the Schr?dinger equation in the interaction picture, the evolving state of the system is found by which the influence of the counter-rotating terms on the dynamical behaviour of atomic population inversion and the probability distribution of the cavity-field as quantum properties is explored. The results in the atom?Cfield system beyond the rotating wave approximation with the gravity show that the quantum properties are not completely suppressed under certain conditions.     

Grassmann phase space theory and the Jaynes–Cummings model

The Jaynes-Cummings model of a two-level atom in a single mode cavity is of fundamental importance both in quantum optics and in quantum physics generally, involving the interaction of two simple quantum systems—one fermionic system (the TLA), the other bosonic (the cavity mode). Depending on the initial conditions a variety of interesting effects occur, ranging from ongoing oscillations of the atomic population difference at the Rabi frequency when the atom is excited and the cavity is in an n$n$-photon Fock state, to collapses and revivals of these oscillations starting with the atom unexcited and the cavity mode in a coherent state. The observation of revivals for Rydberg atoms in a high-Q microwave cavity is key experimental evidence for quantisation of the EM field. Theoretical treatments of the Jaynes-Cummings model based on expanding the state vector in terms of products of atomic and n$n$-photon states and deriving coupled equations for the amplitudes are a well-known and simple method for determining the effects.     

Unconventional Phonon Blockade in a Tavis–Cummings Coupled Optomechanical System

A phonon blockade is achieved in a hybrid optomechanical system including an ensemble of two-level quantum emitters. The introduction of the ensemble of quantum emitters sets up a mechanism of quantum destructive interference within the system, by which the phonon statistical characteristic exhibits strong antibunching under the condition of weak driving and weak coupling. By analyzing the analytic solution of the second-order correlation function, the optimal parametric condition for ideal phonon blockade effect is obtained. The numerical simulation of the second-order correlation function perfectly accord with the analytical solution. The validity of the effective Hamiltonian is proved by the numerical simulations with quantum master equation. The proposed scheme provides a possible way to realize the single-phonon source experimentally.     

The Weiss model and the Landau–Khalatnikov model for the switching of ferroelectrics

It is shown that the molecular field theory by P. Weiss formally leads to the switching kinetics of ferroelectrics, which is described by the well-known Landau–Khalatnikov equation. The switching has a critical character, taking place only at E_a>E_c (E_a: external field, E_c: coercive field). The results are checked by computer simulations.     

Modification of the Peierls–Nabarro model for misfit dislocation

For a misfit dislocation, the balance equations satisfied by the displacement fields are modified, and an extra term proportional to the second-order derivative appears in the resulting misfit equation compared with the equation derived by Yao et al. This second-order derivative describes the lattice discreteness effect that arises from the surface effect. The core structure of a misfit dislocation and the change in interfacial spacing that it induces are investigated theoretically in the framework of an improved Peierls–Nabarro equation in which the effect of discreteness is fully taken into account. As an application, the structure of the misfit dislocation for a honeycomb structure in a two-dimensional heterostructure is presented.     

Perturbative calculation of critical exponents for the Bose–Hubbard model

We develop a strategy for calculating critical exponents for the Mott insulator-to-superfluid transition shown by the Bose–Hubbard model. Our approach is based on the field-theoretic concept of the effective potential, which provides a natural extension of the Landau theory of phase transitions to quantum critical phenomena. The coefficients of the Landau expansion of that effective potential are obtained by high-order perturbation theory. We counteract the divergency of the weak-coupling perturbation series by including the seldom considered Landau coefficient a ₆ into our analysis. Our preliminary results indicate that the critical exponents for both the condensate density and the superfluid density, as derived from the two-dimensional Bose–Hubbard model, deviate by less than 1 % from the best known estimates computed so far for the three-dimensional XY universality class.     

Atom–field entanglement in the Jaynes Cummings model without rotating wave approximation

In this paper, we present a structure for obtaining the exact eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the Jaynes–Cummings model(JCM) without the rotating wave approximation(RWA). We study the evolution of the system in the strong coupling region using the time evolution operator without RWA. The entanglement of the system without RWA is investigated using the Von Neumann entropy as an entanglement measure. It is interesting that in the weak coupling regime, the population of the atomic levels and Von Neumann entropy without RWA model shows a good agreement with the RWA whereas in strong coupling domain, the results of these two models are quite different.     

Scheme for directly measuring the Wigner characteristic function via the driven Jaynes－Cummings model

A scheme is proposed for measuring the Wigner characteristic function of a cavity field. In the scheme an atom is sent through a slightly detuned cavity and driven by a strong resonant classical field. Then the population of the atom in the ground state directly yields the Wigner characteristic function of the cavity field.     

Atomic emission and cavity field spectra of the Jaynes－Cummings model

Atomic emission and cavity field spectra of the Jaynes－Cummings model are analytically compared. We show that the two spectra are in general different, except for the special case where the interaction is resonant, the cavity is initially empty and the retarded time of one-photon emission is considered in calculations of the spectra. In this case, the two spectra are the same. We also show that this result comes from the fact that the two-time autocorrelation function of the cavity field is not directly proportional to that of the atom.     

Single-site approximation for the s–f model of antiferromagnetic semiconductors

For the s–f model of an antiferromagnetic semiconductor, the effect of the antiferromagnetic ordering of the localized spins on the conduction-electron state is investigated over a wide range of exchange strengths by combining the effective-medium approach with the Green's function in the 2×2 sublattice Bloch function representation. The band splitting due to the reduced magnetic Brillouin zone occurs below the Néel temperature. There is a marked effect of the thermal fluctuation of the antiferromagnetically ordered localized spins on the conduction electron at the energies near the top (bottom) of the lower- (higher-) energy subband.     

Jaynes–Cummings model: Solutions without rotating-wave approximation

The Jaynes–Cummings model in the general nonresonant case without rotating-wave approximation is considered. The analysis is carried out using the resolvent formalism. It is shown that one, given the matrix of Hamiltonian resolvent, can easily find all basic physical quantities corresponding to the given model. The matrix of the resolvent of the total Hamiltonian for the given model is found. Matrix elements of the resolvent are expressed in terms of continued fractions. It is shown that these fractions uniformly converge to meromorphic functions, which corresponds to a purely point spectrum of the total Hamiltonian. The time evolution in the case of exact resonance for different coupling constants is numerically studied. It is shown that the rotating- wave approximation is not satisfactory for large coupling constants even in the case of exact resonance. In this case, probabilities of multiphoton transitions increase with increasing coupling constant.     

Geometry in the Entanglement Dynamics of the Double Jaynes–Cummings Model

We report on the geometric character of the entanglement dynamics of two pairs of qubits evolving according to the double Jaynes–Cummings model. We show that the entanglement dynamics for the initial states | ψ ₀〉 = cos α | 10〉 + sin α | 01〉 and | ? ₀〉 = cos α | 11〉 + sin α | 00〉 cover three-dimensional surfaces in the diagram C _ij × C _ik × C _il , where C _mn stands for the concurrence between qubits m and n, varying 0 ≤ α ≤ π / 2. In the first case, projections of the surfaces on a diagram C _ij × C _kl are conics. In the second case, curves can be more complex. We relate those conics with a measurable quantity, the predictability. We also derive inequalities limiting the sum of the squares of the concurrence of every bipartition and show that sudden death of entanglement is intimately connected to the size of the average radius of a hypersphere.     

Entanglement Degree in the Time Development of the Jaynes–Cummings Model

Recently, it has been become known that a quantum entangled state plays an important role in fields of quantum information theory, such as quantum teleportation and quantum computation. Research on quantifying entangled states has been carried out using several measures. In this Letter, we will adopt this method using quantum mutual entropy to measure the degree of entanglement in the time development of the Jaynes–Cummings model.     

Hellmann–Feynman connection for the relative Fisher information

The (i) reciprocity relations for the relative Fisher information (RFI, hereafter) and (ii) a generalized RFI–Euler theorem are self-consistently derived from the Hellmann–Feynman theorem. These new reciprocity relations generalize the RFI–Euler theorem and constitute the basis for building up a mathematical Legendre transform structure (LTS, hereafter), akin to that of thermodynamics, that underlies the RFI scenario. This demonstrates the possibility of translating the entire mathematical structure of thermodynamics into a RFI-based theoretical framework. Virial theorems play a prominent role in this endeavor, as a Schrödinger-like equation can be associated to the RFI. Lagrange multipliers are determined invoking the RFI–LTS link and the quantum mechanical virial theorem. An appropriate ansatz allows for the inference of probability density functions (pdf’s, hereafter) and energy-eigenvalues of the above mentioned Schrödinger-like equation. The energy-eigenvalues obtained here via inference are benchmarked against established theoretical and numerical results. A principled theoretical basis to reconstruct the RFI-framework from the FIM framework is established. Numerical examples for exemplary cases are provided.     

Higher index focus–focus singularities in the Jaynes–Cummings–Gaudin model: Symplectic invariants and monodromy

We study the symplectic geometry of the Jaynes–Cummings–Gaudin model with $n=2m-1$ spins. We show that there are focus–focus singularities of maximal Williamson type $(0,0,m)$. We construct the linearized normal flows in the vicinity of such a point and show that soliton type solutions extend them globally on the critical torus. This allows us to compute the leading term in the Taylor expansion of the symplectic invariants and the monodromy associated to this singularity.     

Comparison of the π and Δ operator approximations for the two-dimensional t–J model

We compare the spectra of the new π operator of the SO(5) theory and the conventional Δ operator for the two-dimensional t–J model. We also calculate the weight transferred to the two-hole ground state from half-filling by these operators. We find that the spectra of these operators are quite similar and the weight for the π operator is smaller than the weight for the Δ operator. We argue that the two-dimensional t–J model does not have a good approximate SO(5) symmetry claimed in Ref. [1].
