The atomic Wehrl entropy of a V-type three-level atom interacting with two-mode squeezed vacuum state

Abstract

We study the interaction of a V-type three-level atom with a two-mode field through the two-photon interaction when the atom is initially in the upper state and the initial field is in the two-mode squeezed vacuum state. The influence of the atomic motion on the evolution of the atomic Q-function and atomic Wehrl entropy is examined. The results show that the atomic motion and the mode structure play important roles in the evolution of the atomic Q-function, atomic Wehrl entropy, and marginal atomic Wehrl entropy.
