Effects of Dipole Interaction on the Collapse-revival Phenomenon of Rabi Oscillations

Abstract

The sensitivity of the collapse-revival phenomenon of Rabi oscillations of two identical atoms to dipole-dipole interaction is brought out by deriving the analytical expression of the excitation probability of two interacting atoms in a coherent field. We study this effect in a two-photon model in which the time evolution is exactly periodic.     

Revival Time Estimation in the Process of Down Conversion

Abstract

We analyse the collapse-revival phenomenon in the process of k-photon down conversion with quantized pump for initial Fock states. We give an explanation for the appearance of the revivals by analysing the decomposition of the initial state into the interaction Hamiltonian eigenvectors. A quantitative estimation of the revival times is given as well.     

Collapse-revival Phenomenon in the Jaynes-Cummings Model Interacting with the Multiphoton Holstein-Primakoff SU(2) Coherent State

Abstract

We have analysed the behaviour of the atomic population inversion of the two-level atom interacting with a single-mode field initially prepared in the multiphoton Holstein-Primakoff SU(2) coherent state. It is shown that the behaviour of the atomic inversion depends on the parameters characterizing the initial state of the field. In particular, the atomic inversion can exhibit periodical oscillations as well as the collapse-revival phenomenon.     

Quantum Superpositions of Binomial States of Light

We introduce new kinds of states of electromagnetic field, which are quantum superpositions of binomial states. They not only exhibit remarkable non-classical properties but can also interpolate between the ‘Schrödinger cat’ type of states and the number states in a particularly interesting way. We basically discuss some of their main statistical properties, as well as schemes for their generation. We also employ quasiprobability distributions in phase space.     

Squeezing in Finite Superpositions of Photon-number States without the Vacuum

Abstract

We show that a finite superposition of photon-number states without the vacuum state can lead to squeezed fluctuations. The properties of these states are discussed.     

Interaction of Superpositions of Coherent States of Light with Two-level Atoms

Abstract

We investigate some of the basic features of the interaction of superpositions of coherent states of light with two-level atoms in the framework of the Jaynes-Cummings model. We compare the behaviour of the system in the case of having a coherent superposition state and a statistical mixture of coherent states as an initial field. We investigate the collapses and revivals of the atomic inversion by studying the evolution of the Q function of the cavity field. We also establish the connection between the purity of the field and the collapses and revivals of the atomic inversion.     

On the Interaction of Two-level Atoms with Superpositions of Coherent States of Light

Abstract

In this paper we study the decoherence process occurring when a field prepared in quantum superpositions of coherent states (Schrödinger cats) interacts with a two-level atom in the framework of the Jaynes-Cummings model. We emphasize the influence of the relative phase in the initial superposition state on the purity of the field during the evolution     

Generation and Properties of Superpositions of Displaced Fock States

Abstract

We study the statistical properties of superpositions of displaced Fock states. We find that for the superposition of the form ¦ψ₁〉 = 1/√2(¦α, n〉 + ¦α, k〉) the direction of the displacement (α positive or negative) plays an important role; also, if n = 1 and k = 0 a strong sub-Poissonian character is found for α ≥ 0. We also analyse the ways in which superpositions of displaced Fock states may be generated.     

Nonlinear Dissipative Oscillator with Displaced Number States

Abstract

We study the interaction of a Kerr-like medium with light initially prepared in a displaced number state. We analyse squeezing properties and photon statistics at the output of a Kerr-like medium. We show that under certain conditions the superposition of two displaced number states can be created. We study the influence of dissipation on the formation of the superposition state.     

Fluctuation of Phase in the Displaced Number States

Using Pegg-Barnett formalism the author has studied the phase properties of displaced number states. It has been found that the phase probability distribution exhibits the same oscillations as the photon number distribution. Using the Hermitian phase operator the fluctuations of the phase of the displaced number states have been studied. The dependence of the fluctuations on the value of the reference phase have been analysed in detail. It has been found that phase of displaced number states exhibit squeezing in the high-intensity limit of the driving field. These states are approximately equivalent to phase states with precisely defined phase. It has been shown that displaced number states are not minimum uncertainty states with respect to the phase and the number operators.     

Photon Statistics of an m-photon Laser with k-photon Losses

With the help of an approximation scheme valid for n ? 1 and Δ ⁿ² ?n ^-2 (where n is the mean value and Δ ⁿ² the variance of the photon number), the photon statistics of an m-photon laser with k-photon losses (m,k = 1, 2, …) is studied theoretically for arbitrary values of the atomic population inversion s produced by an external pumping source. For m>k, m = k and m < k, the dependences of the steady-state values of the mean photon number and of the quantity Δ ⁿ² / n on gain and saturation are investigated. In the limit of strong saturation (well above the threshold for m > k) the photon statistics are characterized by the steady-state value Δ ⁿ² / n = (1/2) (1 + m/ks).     

Study of Induced Temporal Coherence in Optical Parametric Down Conversion

Abstract

Temporal coherence of the idler photon beam induced by a coherent input signal was studied for non-degenerate optical parametric down conversion. When the optical path difference of the interferometer is much longer than the coherence length of the spontaneous idler radiation, the experimental results show that the first-order temporal coherence of the idler photon can be induced by a coherence input signal and the interference fringe visibility is determined by the intensity of the coherent input signal.     

Phase Properties of Squeezed Number States

Abstract
