Abstract
This paper has a twofold objective: First, we present the exact treatment of a -dimensional Dirac oscillator where the mass and the frequency vary in time as: and . This choice allows separable solutions in time and space, obtained via a direct method. Second, motivated by the model’s equivalence to the Anti-Jaynes-Cummings interaction between a two-level atom and a single-mode quantized field, we investigate the dynamics of quantum entanglement between the chirality (atom) and position (field) degrees of freedom, along with the individual nonclassicalities of each subsystem, assuming the field starts in a number state. Entanglement is quantified by negativity and Von Neumann entropy, while nonclassicality is assessed via entanglement potential, Wigner function negativity, and a skew information-based measure. The analysis reveals that both the entanglement and individual nonclassicalities dynamically stabilize at nonzero values, in contrast to the time-independent case, where these quantities undergo persistent oscillations.
