Chaos, entanglement and Husimi Q function in quantum Rabi model

As one of the famous effects in quantum Rabi model (QRM), Rabi oscillation may lead to the occurrence of quantum dynamics behaviors without classical dynamic counterparts, such as quantum collapse and revival effects. In this paper, we focus on studying whether the entanglement entropy and Husimi Q function, as diagnostic tools for quantum chaos in quantum systems, are invalidated by quantum collapse and revival. It is shown that the saturation values of entanglement entropy for initial states located in the chaotic sea of QRM are higher than that in the regular regions. When the system reaches dynamic equilibrium, the Husimi Q function which initial states located in the chaotic sea are more dispersed than that in the regular regions. Moreover, we observe a good correspondence between the the time-average entanglement entropy and classical phase space structures. Our results imply that entanglement entropy and Husimi Q function maintain the function for diagnosing chaos in the QRM and the corresponding principle does not be invalidated by quantum collapse and revival effects in this system.
