The dynamics of an atom on the Jaynes-Cummings model has been studied by an atomic inversion, von Neumann entropy and so on. In this letter, we will treat the Jaynes-Cummings model as a problem in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and apply quantum mutual entropy to study the irreversible dynamics of a state for the atom on this model.

The Lindblad approach to open quantum systems is introduced for studying the dynamics of a single trapped ion prepared in nonclassical motional states and subjected to continuous measurement of its internal population. This results in an inhibition of the dynamics similar to the one occurring in the quantum Zeno effect. In particular, modifications to the Jaynes-Cummings collapses and revivals arising from an initial coherent state of motion in various regimes of interaction with the driving laser are dealt in detail.

We describe an effective field theory for atomic lasers which reduces to the Jaynes-Cummings model in the non-relativistic, single mode limit. Our action describes a multi-mode system, with general polarizations and Lorentz invariance and can therefore be used in all contexts from the astrophysical to the laboratory. We show how to compute the effective action for this model and perform the calculation explicitly at the one loop level. Our model provides a way of analyzing a many-particle, two-state model with arbitrary boundary conditions.

The m-photon Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian is a natural generalization of the much studied Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian. In this short note we give the relevant operators for the time-dependent generalized m-photon Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian. The dynamical equations for these operators are also given. These operators are needed and indeed are the basic building blocks for performing calculations in the context of the Maximum Entropy Formalism.
