Abstract
In this presentation, we considered the atomic decay (but not for the cavity) for a two-level atom interacting with a single mode of electromagnetic field. The exact solution of the master equation in the case of a high-Q cavity with atomic decay is found. The effects of the atomic damping for a thermal reservoir on the temporal evolution of partial entropies of the atom or the field, and the total entropy as a quantitative entanglement, was measured. The degree of entanglement, through the sum of the negative eigenvalues of the partially transposed density matrix and the negative mutual information, has been studied and compared with other measures.
