We use the eigenstates of the reduced density operators to give an explicit form of the entangled atom-field state in the Jaynes-Cummings model. We relate the expansion coefticients to physical quantities and discuss the effect of atomic coherence on this entangled state. PACS number(s): 42.50.p, 03.65.w, 42.52. +x
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
