Quantum speed-up process of atom in dissipative cavity

Abstract

In this work, we obtain an analytical representation of the density operator of an atom in a dissipative cavity when the reservoir is at zero temperature and the total number of excitations is N = 1. We also investigated the quantum speed limit time (QSLT) of the atom and the non-Markovianity in the dynamics process. The results show that the QSLT and the non-Markovianity can be effectively manipulated by the atom–cavity coupling and the reservoir parameters. Both of the atom–cavity coupling and the detuning can induce a sudden transition from Markovian to non-Markovian dynamics, and this transition is the main physical reason of the quantum speed-up process. The critical value of the sudden transition from no speed-up to speed-up the atom–cavity coupling and the reservoir parameters. The corresponding physical explanation is also provided for our results.
