The master equation for a two-level atom in a laser field with squeezing-like terms

In this paper, we derive the time dependent solution of the effective master equation for the reduced density matrix operator of a two-level atom driven by a strong classical field and damped into a “modelled” reservoir with non-flat density of modes. The effects of different parameters on the atomic inversion, the von Neumann entropy and the entropy squeezing are discussed.     

Dynamics of Entropy and Nonclassicality Features of the Interaction between a ◊-type Four-Level Atom and a Single-Mode Field in the Presence of Intensity-Dependent Coupling and Kerr Nonlinearity

The interaction between a ◊-type four-level atom and a single-mode field in the presence of Kerr medium with intensity-dependent coupling involving multi-photon processes has been studied. Using the generalized (nonlinear) Jaynes-Cummings model, the exact analytical solution of the wave function for the considered system under particular condition, has been obtained when the atom is initially excited to the topmost level and the field is in a coherent state. Some physical properties of the atom-field entangled state such as linear entropy showing the entanglement degree, Mandel parameter, mean photon number and normal squeezing of the resultant state have been calculated. The effects of Kerr medium, detuning and the intensity-dependent coupling on the temporal behavior of the latter mentioned nonclassical properties have been investigated. It is shown that by appropriately choosing the evolved parameters in the interaction process, each of the above nonclassicality features, which are of special interest in quantum optics as well as quantum information processing, can be revealed.     

Influence of pumping laser bandwidth on the quantum fluctuation chracteristic of non-degenerate optical parametric amplifier

Usually the quantum fluctuation characteristic of the non-degenerate optical parametric amplifier is analysed under the assumption of monochromatic pumping. However, in experiments, the driving beam with finite bandwidth is used to obtain the non-degenerate signal and idler beam amplifications. On account of that, we derive an analytical solution for the non-degenerate optical parametric amplification system with finite bandwidth laser pumping, and evaluate the associated quantum fluctuation. Finally, the application of the V₁ criterion to the bipartite entanglement is discussed.     

Improved frequency standard via weighted graph states

We study the spin squeezing property of weighted graph states,which can be used to improve sensitivity in interferometry.We study the time evolution of spin squeezing under local decoherence acting independently on each qubit.Based on the analysis,the spin squeezing of the weighted graph states is somehow robust in the presence of decoherence and the decoherence limit in the improvement of the interferometric sensitivity is still achievable.Furthermore,one can obtain the optimal improvement of sensitivity by tuning the weighted of each edges of the weighted graph state.     

Spin Squeezing and Fixed-Point Bifurcation

We study spin squeezing and classical bifurcation in a nonlinear bipartite system. We show that the spin squeezing can be associated with a fixed-point bifurcation in the classical dynamics, namely, it acts as an indicator of the classical bifurcation. For the ground state of a system with coupled giant spins, we find that the spin squeezing achieves its minimum value near the bifurcation point. We also study the dynamics of the spin squeezing, for an initial state corresponding to one of the fixed point, we find that in the stable regime, the spin squeezing exhibits periodic oscillation and always persists except at some fixed times, while in the unstable regime, the periodic oscillation phenomenon disappears and the spin squeezing survives for a short time. Finally, we show that the mean spin squeezing, which is defined to be averaged over time, attains its minimum value near the bifurcation point.

New 3-mode bosonic operator realization of SU（2） Lie algebra： From the point of view of squeezing

We consider the quantum mechanical SU(2) transformation e2λ JzJ± e-2λJz= e±2λJ± as if the meaning of squeezing with e±2λbeing squeezing parameter. By studying SU(2) operators(J±,Jz) from the point of view of squeezing we find that(J±,Jz) can also be realized in terms of 3-mode bosonic operators. Employing this realization, we find the natural representation(the eigenvectors of J+ or J-) of the 3-mode squeezing operator e2λ Jz. The idea of considering quantum SU(2) transformation as if squeezing is liable for us to obtain the new bosonic operator realization of SU(2) and new squeezing operators.     

Squeezing for Entangled States of Two Entangled Particles with Different Masses

Using the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators we present a convenient approach for introducing the squeezing operator for the entangled states of two entangled particles with different masses. We also introduce one-sided squeezing operators.     

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.
