Effects of the Binomial Field Distribution on Collapse and Revival Phenomena in a Three-level Atom

Abstract
The photon field dynamics of a single non-decaying mode of a quantized electromagnetic field in a binomial state interacting with a three-level system is studied non-perturbatively. It is found that the phenomenon of collapse and revival is not only sensitive to the initial photon statistics, but also to photon density, coupling constants and detunings.
