Zj. Wang et al., Characteristic of quantum collapse and revival in the motion of a trapped atom for high detuning, ACT PHY C E, 49(5), 2000, pp. 875-879
In this paper the quantum dynamics of the trapped atom which acts with a st
anding light field and a travelling light field is investigated. Evolution
of the quantum mean energy of the ion with time displays the characteristic
of collapse-revival which implies that the vibration states of the system
have squeezing effect. The larger the nonlinearity of the system, the highe
r the frequency of collapse-revival of the system, and the smaller the quan
tum mean energy of the ion. The higher the intensity of the travelling ligh
t field, the higher the degree of squeezing of the vibration states of the
system can be observed.
