Wehrl entropy and its density are used to investigate the dynamics of loss of coherence and information in a phase space for an atomic model of two-photon two-level atom coupled to different radiation reservoirs (namely, normal vacuum (NV), thermal field (TF) and squeezed vacuum (SV) reservoirs). Particularly, quantum interference (QI) effect, due to the 2-photon transition decay channels, has a paramount role in: (i) the atomic inversion decay in the NV case, which behaves as quantum Zeno and anti-Zeno decay effect; (ii) the coherence and information loss in the phase space; and (iii) identifying temporal information entropy squeezing. Results are also sensitive to the initial atomic state.

Two models (an upper levels coupling model and a lower levels coupling model) of a four-level atom embedded in a double-band photonic crystal are adopted. The effect of spontaneous emission cancellation of such systems embedded in different reservoirs are investigated. Especially, the "trapping conditions" of such systems in photonic band gap (PBG) reservoirs are discussed for the first time. We also investigate the different quantum interference effects of the lower levels coupling model embedded in an isotropic PBG reservoir. It is interesting that when the trapping conditions are fulfilled, the additional peaks, which result from the contribution of the additional singularities of Laplace transform of the delayed Green function of the isotropic PBG modes, are eliminated.PACS Nos.: 42.50.Gy, 42.50.Ct, 42.70.Qs
