Crossing of quasilevels in the open Jaynes-Cummings model

The nonlinear dynamics of an open quantum system consisting of a "dressed" atom, i.e., an atom coupled with an external multifrequency electromagnetic field, and a single quantized mode of an electromagnetic field is studied. At different crossing points of the quasilevels of the dressed atom, the average number of photons in the quantized mode may either increase without limit with the passage of time or oscillate within finite limits. In the latter case a decrease of the number of photons is accompanied by regularization of their statistics, which may become sub-Poissonian. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
