Polarization of Radiation in Multipole Jaynes-cummings Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the spatial properties of quantum radiation emitted by a multipole transition in a single atom. The qualitative difference between the representations of plane and spherical waves of photons is examined. In particular, the spatial inhomogeneity of the zero-point oscillations of multipole field is shown. We show that the vacuum noise of polarization is concentrated in a certain vicinity of atoms where it strongly exceeds the level predicted by the representation of the plane waves. A new general polarization matrix is proposed. It is shown that the polarization and its vacuum noise strongly depend on the distance from the source.

Quantum statistical properties of the Jaynes-Cummings model in the presence of a classical homogeneous gravitational field
The temporal evolution of quantum statistical properties of an interacting atom-radiation field system in the presence of a classical homogeneous gravitational field is investigated within the framework of the Jaynes-Cummings model. To analyse the dynamical evolution of the atom-radiation system a quantum treatment of the internal and external dynamics of the atom is presented based on an alter...

The effective mass that approximately describes the effect of a classical homogeneous gravitational field on an interacting atom-radiation field system is determined within the framework of the Jaynes-Cummings model. By taking into account both the atomic motion and gravitational field, a full quantum treatment of the internal and external dynamics of the atom is presented. By solving exactly t...
متن کاملThe effective action for a relativistic Jaynes-Cummings model
We describe an effective field theory for atomic lasers which reduces to the Jaynes-Cummings model in the non-relativistic, single mode limit. Our action describes a multi-mode system, with general polarizations and Lorentz invariance and can therefore be used in all contexts from the astrophysical to the laboratory. We show how to compute the effective action for this model and perform the cal...

متن کاملComment on "Collapse and revival of the state vector in the Jaynes-Cummings model: An example of state preparation by a quantum apparatus"
The evolution of the atomic state in the resonant Jaynes-Cummings model (a two-level atom interacting with a single mode of the quantized radiation field) with the field initially in a coherent state is considered. It is shown that the atom is to a good approximation in a pure state in the middle of what has been traditionally called the "collapse region. This pure state exhibits no Rabi oscill...
