J. Seke et al., Application of the Seke self-consistent projection operator method in the case of a discretized atom-field interaction model, INT J MOD B, 13(26), 1999, pp. 3159-3170
The relaxation dynamics in the case of a discretized atom-field interaction
model, being of great importance in quantum optics, is investigated numeri
cally by an algorithm based on Seke's self-consistent projection operator m
ethod. The transition from reversible to irreversible dynamics in the conti
nuous limit is simulated numerically. The dependence of the time evolution
of atomic nondecay probability on the number of discrete-field modes, coupl
ed to the atom, is discussed.
