Abstract: | In this paper we study the nonlocality evolution for three identical two-level atoms, each coupled with the others and interacted with a single-mode cavity which is initially in a superposition of the vacuum and one-photon states. The nonlocality is characterized by violation of the Mermin-Ardehali-Belinksii-Klyshko (MABK) inequality. The influences of atom-atom coupling constant and the initial state of the cavity field on violation of the MABK inequality are discussed. The results obtained by numerical simulation show that the MABK parameter decreases as the ratio of the atom-atom coupling to the atom-cavity coupling increases, and that it increases with the initial population of the one-photon state. |
