Abstract

We introduce a quantum scheme where a single five-level atom interacts with a single-mode cavity field by a time-dependent coupling. During the interaction, the temporal behavior of the quantum entropy in the atomic basis is compared with that of the Mandel parameter used to quantify the nonclassical properties of the field. With the field prepared in a squeezed coherent state, the atomic quantum entropy is then used to quantify the entanglement or the nonlocal correlation of the five-level atom (5 LA) – field system. The influence of one- and two-photon transitions and the atomic motion on the degree of entanglement and the Pancharatnam phase is analyzed. The analysis emphasizes that both the time dependence and photon multiplicity play an important role in the evolution of the degree of entanglement, the Pancharatnam phase, and nonclassical properties. This insight may be very useful in various applications in quantum physics and quantum optics.
