Wave packet dynamics of entangled two-mode states
We consider a model Hamiltonian describing the interaction of a single-mode
radiation field with the atoms of a nonlinear medium, and study the dynamics of
entanglement for specific non-entangled initial states of interest: namely,
those in which the field mode is initially in a Fock state, a coherent state,
or a photon-added coherent state. The counterparts of near-revivals and
fractional revivals are shown to be clearly identifiable in the entropy of
entanglement. The ``overlap fidelity'' of the system is another such indicator,
and its behaviour corroborates that of the entropy of entanglement in the
vicinity of near-revivals. The expectation values and higher moments of
suitable quadrature variables are also examined, with reference to possible
squeezing and higher-order squeezing.Comment: 18 pages, 7 figure
