Dynamical properties of a trapped two-level ion interacting with a single-mode quantized field in the nonlinear regime

摘要

Following the path of Buzek et al. in [Phys. Rev. A56 2352 1997], we investigate the full intensity-dependent interaction between a motional two-level ion which is trapped in a f-deformed oscillator (so possessing vibrational modes too) with a single-mode nonlinear quantized field in the Lamb-Dicke limit. After finding the explicit form of the entire ion-field state vector in a general framework, we particularly restrict ourselves to an appropriate nonlinearity function (describing intensity-dependent interaction) corresponding to the center-of-mass motion of a trapped ion which explicitly depends on the Lamb-Dicke parameter as well as another well-known nonlinearity function in the form root n. Then, we evaluate the effects of two different initial quantized field states as well as the considered nonlinearity function (via varying the Lamb-Dicke parameter) on a few physical properties of the system. For this purpose, we pay attention to the amount of entanglement, mean number of vibrational quanta (phonons), population inversion of the two-level ion and Q-distribution function. Finally, by comparing our results with the previously considered "linear" one which is pointed in the above Ref., we establish that, by tuning the Lamb-Dicke parameter, one can adjust the mentioned nonclassical properties of the system appropriately.
