Higher-order squeezing oscillations in Jaynes–Cummings model of a pair of cold atoms

Abstract

We study interaction between a pair of indistinguishable two-level atoms and the single-mode cavity field. It is supposed that the pair of two-level atoms is laser cooled and trapped into the ground vibrational state, in which vibrational quantum number hnv i¼ 0. Two Jaynes-Cummings models are investigated. One is the Jaynes-Cummings model with intensity-dependent coupling and the another is the two-photon Jaynes-Cummings model of a pair of indistinguishable two-level atoms. It should be noted that in the present model, at initial moment t ¼ 0, in intensity-dependent Jaynes- Cummings model the cavity field is prepared in Holstein-Primakoff SU(1,1) CS, while in two-photon Jaynes-Cummings model it is prepared in the squeezed vacuum state. Moreover, at initial moment t ¼ 0, pair of atoms is supposed to be in the first excited state je1i in both models. By using exact analytical solutions for state-vectors of the coupled atom-field systems amplitude-squared squeezing of the quantized cavity field is examined as a function of the jnj parameter. In this situation, in both models higher-order squeezing has the tendency towards oscillations, but exact periodicity of these oscillations is violated by the analogy with the second-order squeezing.
