Thermal Field and Intrinsic Decoherence Effects on the Dynamics of N-level Moving Atomic System

Dynamical behaviour of Quantum Entanglement (QE) and atomic Quantum Fisher Information (AQFI) for a moving N-level atomic system is studied in a thermal environment. Time evolution of state vector of the entire system interacting with thermal field is calculated numerically in the presence of intrinsic decoherence. It is observed that intrinsic decoherence and thermal environment play dominant role during the time evolution of the quantum system. AQFI and entanglement show an opposite behaviour during its time evolution in the presence of thermal environment. AQFI is observed to be more prone to intrinsic decoherence as compared to the entanglement in a thermal environment. AQFI is found to be more prone to intrinsic decoherence as compared to the QE in a thermal environment. QE is found decaying when the parameter of intrinsic decoherence is increased in the absence of atomic motion. The damping behaviour of QE is observed for longer time-scales. The periodic response of entanglement due to atomic motion becomes moderate under the influence of these environments. The intrinsic decoherence and thermal environment are found to suppress the nonclassical effects of the quantum system. QE and AQFI saturate to a lower level for larger time-scales under the influence of these environments. Furthermore, the dynamics of AQFI and von Neumann entropy (VNE) changes remarkably by changing the mean number of photons.
