Abstract
We study the dynamics of the von Neumann entropy, Wehrl entropy, and Wehrl phase distribution for a single four-level ladder-type atom interacting with a one-mode cavity field taking into account the atomic motion. We obtain the exact solution of the model using the Schr¨odinger equation under specific initial conditions. Also we investigate the quantum and classical quantifiers of this system in the nonresonant case. We examine the effects of detuning and the atomic motion parameter on the entropies and their density operators. We observe an interesting monotonic relation between the different physical quantities in the case of nonmoving and moving atoms during the time evolution. We show that both the detuning and the atomic motion play important roles in the evolution of the Wehrl entropy, its marginal distributions, entanglement, and atomic populations.
