Dynamics of a two dipole-coupled atom system driven by a quantized cavity field

Abstract

Based on the master-equation approach, we investigate the dynamics of two dipole-coupled atoms by examining the atomic population and entanglement evolution. We show that the population decays rapidly and the entanglement is inhabited when the pump field is weak, while for the strongly pumped case, the evolution of population and entanglement is similar with one driven in the classical field. Furthermore, the evolution of the population can be controlled by the diploe-diploe interaction and detunings.
