By applying a series of unitary transformations and establishing suitable conditions for the time-dependent parameters of the system, the Hamiltonian operator is transformed into one representing a system not driven by an external field, namely a Free TDJC (FTDJC) system. This mapping allows us to determine, in both the time-independent and time-dependent cases, forms of the pumping modulating the field and the atomic population that are amenable to exact analytical solution. The effects of an off-resonance parameter emerging from the analytical solution of the model and the intensity of the classical pumping field on the dynamics of the atomic population are investigated.

These results show that entanglement, measured byconcurrence (CE), decays rapidly with increasing temperature, whereas coherence-based measures such as LQFI and LQU display greater resilience. The strength of zero-field splitting plays a key role in shaping quantum correlations, significantly suppressing entanglement at higher values while helping to preserve coherence. External magnetic and electric fields further influence these dynamics–magnetic fields tend to suppress entanglement, while electric fields accelerate its degradation. Dipole–dipole interactions enhance the initial quantum correlations but have a limited effect on their thermal decay. Overall, these findings underscore the robustness of coherence-based quantum resources and suggest that, while dipole–dipole coupling is more effective at regulating quantum correlations, optimal tuning of system parameters can significantly improve both the generation and preservation of these correlations at finite temperatures.</p>","PeriodicalId":7896,"journal":{"name":"Annalen der Physik","volume":"537 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145273046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cosine modulation induces periodic transitions in the light field, influenced by modulation frequency, Lévy index, cross-phase (CP) coefficient, and Hermite Gaussian (HG) order, creating diverse patterns like rugby balls, water waves, and elliptical rings. The cross-phase effect causes beam rotation, and diffraction enhances with increasing CP coefficient and Lévy index. Beam trajectories exhibit periodic oscillations, with amplitude growing with the Lévy index and chirp coefficients. Under parabolic potentials, the beam demonstrates autofocusing, defocusing, and periodic mode transitions, including HG to Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) conversions. The beam propagation exhibits “spiral” and “straight line” oscillatory trajectories moving toward the origin, and periodic elliptical spiral trajectories depend on the Lévy index, off-axis, and chirp parameters.

By combining the Sagnac effect with periodic pump modulation, the optomechanical entanglement can be enhanced nonreciprocally by a factor of about 1.67. It is shown that the negative effect of the backscattering losses on nonreciprocal entanglement enhancement can be eliminated by spinning the resonator. Meanwhile, the enhanced entanglement exhibits strong robustness against thermal noise, surviving even at environmental temperature up to 0.99 K.
