Non-Markovian Light-Matter Dynamics in the Time Fractional Jaynes-Cummings Model with Modulated Coupling
Abstract
We investigate the fractional time description of a generalized quantum light-matter system modeled by a time-dependent Jaynes-Cummings (JC) interaction, with different coupling types: constant, linear, exponential, and sinusoidal. Two formulations of the time fractional Schr\"odinger equation (TFSE) are examined, with a focus on their impact on population inversion and entanglement. Our findings highlight that the introduction of fractional order introduces memory effects, associated with damped oscillations and asymptotic decay. Furthermore, we find that the time-dependent couplings, combined with distinct fractional formulations, influence how these effects occur, ultimately resulting in high or low entanglement. A key finding of our work is that, under sinusoidal coupling, non-periodic dynamics is preserved for both formulations of the TFSE; however, within a certain range, the fractional order can act as a control mechanism for the non-periodic evolution.
