We describe a new mechanism of decoherence in excited atoms as a result of thermal particles scattering by the atomic nucleus. It is based on the idea that a single scattering will produce a sudden displacement of the nucleus, which will be…

In this paper, we are interested in studying entropy and dynamics entanglement between a single time dependent three-level atom interacting with one-mode cavity field when the atomic motion is taken into account. An exact analytical…
The coupling of distinct systems underlies nearly all physical phenomena and their applications. A basic instance is that of interacting harmonic oscillators, which gives rise to, for example, the phonon eigenmodes in a crystal lattice.…
In three dimensions, dipole-dipole interactions which alter atomic level shifts and spontaneous decay rates only persist over distances comparable to the wavelength of the emitted light. In this paper we show that it is possible to…
We demonstrate that light quanta of well defined characteristics can be generated in a coupled two-level system of three atoms. The quantum nature of light is controlled by the entanglement structure, discord, and monogamy of the system…
