The Thermo-field Dynamics Method for Electron with Two-mode Electromagnetic Field

The quick progress in quantum entanglement research allows us not one to study quantum systems down to N-bodies but also to take a new look at these systems in different branches of physics; particularly the statistical thermodynamics where the application of the thermo-field dynamics (TFD) method to the investigation of entanglement is fruitful. Because the traditional methods based on the identification of a specific parameter show their limit. The process using (TFD) facilitates the understanding of entanglement because it focuses directly on the eigenstate of the system and it is useful in the equilibrium and the non-equilibrium states also. In this context, the (TFD) method is used in this paper to analyze entanglement of an electron interacting with a two-mode electromagnetic field assimilated to an electron with two harmonic oscillators. Entanglement entropies are derived between concerned, not concerned harmonic oscillator and electron compute when the system is in a thermodynamic equilibrium and non-equilibrium state. For the equilibrium case, an increase in the number of particles per unit volume increases the quantum entanglement consequently entanglement appears more important for the couple oscillator-electron than the one electron, this trend is reversed for the non-equilibrium case. By respecting the entanglement parameters, such results allow us to know the relative equilibrium state of the overall system.
