The effect of intrinsic decoherence on the dynamics of an Ξ-type qutrit system interacting with a coherent field

Abstract

This paper solves milburn’s intrinsic noise (IN) model for a 3-level atom of an Ξ-type interacting with a coherent cavity field via multiphoton transitions. Therefore, the effects of the intrinsic noise and the multi-photon interactions are investigated for some quantum phenomena, such as total correlation, entanglement, and atomic inversion. In general, we found that the collapse-revival phenomenon occurs during the oscillatory behaviour of atomic population dynamics. In addition, the birth-death phenomenon is observed in the negativity dynamics. Entropy, negativity, and mutual information have various dynamics. It is found that, as the entropy increases, the negativity and mutual information diminish to stationary levels. When intrinsic noise is considered, all the phenomena of atomic inversion, entropies, negativity and mutual information exhibit high sensitivity to high intrinsic noise values, except the mutual information dynamics, which is more resistant than that of the other quantifiers.
