Quantum speed-up process of atom in dissipative cavity

Abstract

In this work, we obtain an analytical representation of the density operator of an atom in dissipative cavity when the reservoir is at zero temperature and the total number of excitation is N=1. We also investigated the quantum speed limit time(QSLT) of the atom and the non-Markovianity in the dynamics process. The results show that the QSLT and the non-Markovianity can be effectively manipulated by the atom-cavity coupling and the reservoir parameters. Both of the atom-cavity coupling and the detuning can induce a sudden transition from Markovian to non-Markovian dynamics and this transition is the main physical reason of the quantum speed-up process. The critical value of sudden transition from no speed-up to speed-up depends the atom-cavity coupling and the reservoir parameters. The corresponding physical explanation is also provided for our results.
