Nonclassicality generated by propagation of atoms through a cavity field

Abstract

We successively pass two $V$-type three-level atoms through a single-mode cavity field. Considering the field to be initially in a classical state, we evaluate various statistical properties such as the quasiprobability $Q$ function, Wigner distribution, Mandel's $Q$ parameter and normal squeezing of the resulted field. We notice that the sequential crossing of atoms induces nonclassicality into the character of a pure classical state (coherent field). The initial thermal field shows sub-Poissonian as well as squeezing property after interacting with the $V$ atoms.
