In this paper, we present a protocol to engineer upper-bounded and sliced Jaynes-Cummings and anti-Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonians in cavity quantum electrodynamics. In the upper-bounded Hamiltonians, the atom-field interaction is confined to a subspace of Fock states ranging from $leftvert 0rightrangle $ up to $leftvert 4rightrangle $, while in the sliced interaction the Fock subspace ranges from $leftvert Mrightrangle $ up to $leftvert M+4rightrangle $. We also show how to build upper-bounded and sliced Liouvillians irrespective of engineering Hamiltonians. The upper-bounded and sliced Hamiltonians and Liouvillians can be used, among other applications, to generate steady Fock states of a cavity mode and for the implementation of a quantum-scissors device for optical state truncation.
The theory of non-Hermitian systems and the theory of quantum deformations have attracted a great deal of attention in the last decades. In general, non-Hermitian Hamiltonians are constructed by a textit{ad hoc} manner. Here, we study the (2+1) Dirac oscillator and show that in the context of the $kappa$--deformed Poincare-Hopf algebra its Hamiltonian is non-Hermitian but having real eigenvalues. The non-Hermiticity steams from the $kappa$-deformed algebra. From the mapping in [Bermudez textit{et al.}, Phys. Rev. A textbf{76}, 041801(R) 2007], we propose the $kappa$-JC and $kappa$--AJC models, which describe an interaction between a two-level system with a quantized mode of an optical cavity in the $kappa$--deformed context. We find that the $kappa$--deformation modifies the textit{Zitterbewegung} frequencies and the collapse and revival of quantum oscillations. In particular, the total angular momentum in the $z$--direction is not conserved anymore, as a direct consequence of the deformation.
We investigate the cavity excitation spectrum and the photon number distribution in a cavity QED system driven by a broadband squeezed vacuum. In an empty cavity, we show that only states with even number of photons can be measured under resonant condition since the squeezed vacuum consists of states with even number of photons only. When a single atom is trapped in the cavity, the strong coupling between the atom and cavity results in energy splittings of the system, and there exist two peaks in the cavity excitation spectrum at two-photon transition frequencies. At the central frequency, however, all photon states can be detected because of the interaction between the atom and cavity. Therefore, it can be used to detect whether a single atom is trapped in the cavity. We also show that the squeezed vacuum can promote multiphoton excitations in the cavity. Using a coherent probe field, it is possible to explore higher Jaynes-Cummings doublet even if the probe field intensity is very weak.
In this paper we provide a microscopic derivation of the master equation for the Jaynes-Cummings model with cavity losses. We single out both the differences with the phenomenological master equation used in the literature and the approximations under which the phenomenological model correctly describes the dynamics of the atom-cavity system. Some examples wherein the phenomenological and the microscopic master equations give rise to different predictions are discussed in detail.
The quantum thermalization of the Jaynes-Cummings (JC) model in both equilibrium and non-equilibrium open-system cases is sdudied, in which the two subsystems, a two-level system and a single-mode bosonic field, are in contact with either two individual heat baths or a common heat bath. It is found that in the individual heat-bath case, the JC model can only be thermalized when either the two heat baths have the same temperature or the coupling of the JC system to one of the two baths is turned off. In the common heat-bath case, the JC system can be thermalized irrespective of the bath temperature and the system-bath coupling strengths. The thermal entanglement in this system is also studied. A emph{counterintuitive} phenomenon of emph{vanishing} thermal entanglement in the JC system is found and proved.
In this work we construct an approximate time evolution operator for a system composed by two coupled Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonians. We express the full time evolution operator as a product of exponentials and we analyze the validity of our approximations contrasting our analytical results with those obtained by purely numerical methods.
