摘要: In this paper, the output quantum correlations of three fields interacting with inverted Y-type atoms inside a three-mode cavity are investigated. By numerically calculating the stationary noise spectra of the fields, we show that it is possible to generate the genuine tripartite continuous variable entanglement outside the cavity by coherently preparing the atoms in a superposition of the upper excited state and two ground states initially. Our numerical results demonstrate that both zero frequency entanglement and sideband frequency entanglement can be obtained under different initial coherent conditions. In addition, we investigate the thermal fluctuation effects on the quantum entanglement. It is found out that the entanglement occurring in a high frequency regime is more robust against thermal noise than the zero frequency entanglement, which may be useful for quantum communication.
