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 two-level 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.
