Impact of atomic initial conditions on nonclassicality of the light in the ladder-type three-level Jaynes-Cummings model

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: We explore the interaction between a three-level atom and a single-mode quantized cavity, known as the three-level ladder-type Jaynes-Cummings model. By employing the exact solution of the Schrödinger equation, we investigate how the initial conditions of the atom influence the occupation probabilities of the atomic energy levels, average photon number, and the nonclassicality of light, assessed through the Mandel Q(t) parameter and the Wigner function. Our findings are rigorously validated through comprehensive numerical simulations, ensuring robust and consistent outcomes.
