Influence of intrinsic decoherence on the entanglement between two atoms in Tavis - Cummings model
Considering the dipole-dipole coupling intensity between two atoms and the field in the Fock state, the entanglement dynamics between two atoms that are initially entangled in the Tavis-Cummings model with intrinsic decoherence have been investigated. The two-atom entanglement appears with periodicity without considering intrinsic decoherence. However, the intrinsic decoherence causes the decay of entanglement between two atoms, with the decrease of the intrinsic decoherence coefficient, the entanglement will quickly become a constant value, which is affected by the two-atom initial state, the dipole-dipole coupling intensity and the field in the Fock state. Meanwhile, the two-atom quantum state will stay forever in the maximal entangled state when the initial state is proper, even in the presence of intrinsic decoherence. Furthermore, the two atoms can generate maximal entangled state even if they are initially separated by adjusting the dipole dipole interaction, the strong coupling can improve the value of entanglement.
