The field-field and dipole-dipole coupling effects on the entanglement of the interaction between two qutrits with a two-mode field

Abstract

In this paper we study the interaction between two qutrits ([Formula: see text]-type three-level atoms) with a two-mode field in a high quality cavity, considering the field-field (F-F) correlation and dipole-dipole (D-D) interaction. By defining a Hamiltonian corresponds to D-D interaction related to the two three-level atoms, we introduce a generalized Hamiltonian of Jaynes-Cummings model for the desired system and then the associated Schrödinger equation is solved. Finally, by achieving the reduced density matrix and then the linear entropy as a criterion for the entanglement, we investigate the influence of the F-F and D-D coupling on the degree of entanglement of the system. Our results show that there exists specific initial superposition of atomic states wherein the stable value of linear entropy is accessible. In addition, in such cases the F-F correlation and D-D interaction have not considerable effect on the entropy. Moreover, in general, as we have shown, the entanglement can be tuned appropriately by choosing the parameters involve in the model.
