Starting from the general covariant Dirac equation with minimal coupling of an electromagnetic field the corrections to the energy levels of the electron in a Penning trap caused by the gravitational field of the Earth are computed. Our discussion shows that the resulting effect is detectable only at the specific eigenfrequencies of the electron. The relative shift of these frequencies due to the gravitational field is found to be 2.1×10–9. It is briefly indicated how this effect in principle could be observed in suitable experiments performed with higher precision.

We consider two two-level atoms fixed at different positions, driven by a resonant monochromatic laser field, and interacting collectively with the quantum electromagnetic field. A Born-Markov-secular master equation is used to describe the dynamics of the two atoms and the steady-state is obtained analytically for a configuration of the atoms. The steady-state populations of the energy levels of the free atoms, entanglement, quantum and geometric discords and degree of mixedness are calculated analytically as a function of the laser field intensity and the distance between the two atoms. It is found that there is a possibility of considerable steady-state entanglement and left/right quantum discord and that these can be controlled either by increasing/decreasing the intensity of the laser field or by increasing/decreasing the distance between atoms. It is shown that the system of two atoms can be prepared in a separable mixed state with non-zero quantum discord that turns into an $X$-state for high laser field intensities. The behavior and relationships between the different correlations are studied and several limiting cases are investigated.
