Influence of initial atomic coherence and direct coupling on qubits entanglement in two-qubit Tavis — Cummings model

The exact dynamics of a model consisting of two identical qubits interacting non-resonantly with the electromagnetic field mode of an ideal resonator via single-photon transitions is found in the presence of direct Ising interaction of qubits. The exact solution is used to calculate the two-qubit negativity of qubits in the case of a coherent initial state of qubits and a thermal state of the resonator field. It is shown that in the case of resonant interaction of qubits with the field, the initial atomic coherence leads to a significant increase in the maximum degree of entanglement. The inclusion of direct Ising interaction of qubits can significantly enhance the entanglement of qubits in both coherent and non-coherent initial states of qubits. In the case of non-resonant interaction of qubits and the resonator field, the detuning leads to a weakening of the effect of atomic coherence on the dynamics of qubit entanglement.
