ENTANGLEMENT AND PHOTON DYNAMICS IN THE INTERACTION BETWEEN TWO QUANTIZED ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS AND 3-LEVEL ATOMS
We study in this paper the dynamics of two electromagnetic (EM) fields and their entanglement in the interaction with a 3-level atom (Lambda-con figuration). We investigate the interaction when initially one of the fields is in a single mode coherent state, and the other one is in a Fock (number) state. We have calculated the mean photon numbers of the fields and their entanglement by means of the fields entropy as a measure of it. The results show the synchronization between entanglement beats and collapses-revivals of the fields, which cause the field in the Fock state (noncoherent) to behave coherently during the interaction. Also the results offer a way to generate coherent fields and achieve any desired degree of entanglement with specified dynamics via controlling the parameters of the atomic system.
