Kraus Operator-Sum Solution to the Master Equation Describing the Single-Mode Cavity Driven by an Oscillating External Field in the Heat Reservoir

Exploiting the thermo entangled state approach, we successfully solve the master equation for describing the single-mode cavity driven by an oscillating external field in the heat reservoir and then get the analytical time-evolution rule for the density operator in the infinitive Kraus operator-sum representation. It is worth noting that the Kraus operator M _{l, m} is proved to be a trace-preserving quantum operation. As an application, the time-evolution for an initial coherent state ρ _|β〉 = |β〉〈β| in such an environment is investigated, which shows that the initial coherent state decays to a new mixed state as a result of thermal noise, however the coherence can still be reserved for amplitude damping.     

Entanglement Involved in Time Evolution of Two-Mode Squeezed State in Single-Mode Diffusion Channel

We derive the evolution law of an initial two-mode squeezed vacuum state \( \text {sech}^{2}\lambda e^{a^{\dag }b^{\dagger }\tanh \lambda }\left \vert 00\right \rangle \left \langle 00\right \vert e^{ab\tanh \lambda }\) (a pure state) passing through an a-mode diffusion channel described by the master equation

$$\frac{d\rho \left( t\right) }{dt}=-\kappa \left[ a^{\dagger}a\rho \left( t\right) -a^{\dagger}\rho \left( t\right) a-a\rho \left( t\right) a^{\dagger}+\rho \left( t\right) aa^{\dagger}\right] , $$

since the two-mode squeezed state is simultaneously an entangled state, the final state which emerges from this channel is a two-mode mixed state. Performing partial trace over the b-mode of ρ(t) yields a new chaotic field, \(\rho _{a}\left (t\right ) =\frac {\text {sech}^{2}\lambda }{1+\kappa t \text {sech}^{2}\lambda }:\exp \left [ \frac {- \text {sech}^{2}\lambda }{1+\kappa t\text {sech}^{2}\lambda }a^{\dagger }a \right ] :,\) which exhibits higher temperature and more photon numbers, showing the diffusion effect. Besides, measuring a-mode of ρ(t) to find n photons will result in the collapse of the two-mode system to a new Laguerre polynomial-weighted chaotic state in b-mode, which also exhibits entanglement.

     

Quantum Fisher Information for <Emphasis Type="Italic">s</Emphasis><Emphasis Type="Italic">u</Emphasis>(2) Atomic Coherent States and <Emphasis Type="Italic">s</Emphasis><Emphasis Type="Italic">u</Emphasis>(1, 1) Coherent States

We investigate quantum Fisher information (QFI) for s u(2) atomic coherent states and s u(1, 1) coherent states. In this work, we find that for s u(2) atomic coherent states, the QFI with respect to \(\vartheta ~(\mathcal {F}_{\vartheta })\) is independent of φ, the QFI with respect to \(\varphi (\mathcal {F}_{\varphi })\) is governed by ??. Analogously, for s u(1,1) coherent states, \(\mathcal {F}_{\tau }\) is independent of φ, and \(\mathcal {F}_{\varphi }\) is determined by τ. Particularly, our results show that \(\mathcal {F}_{\varphi }\) is symmetric with respect to ?? = π/2 for s u(2) atomic coherent states. And for s u(1,1) coherent states, \(\mathcal {F}_{\varphi }\) also possesses symmetry with respect to τ = 0.     

Fluctuations and a rigorous uncertainty relation of trigonometric operators of the phase and the number of photons of an electromagnetic field for general quantum superpositions of coherent states

The quantum-statistical properties of states of an electromagnetic field of general superpositions of coherent states of the form of N _α,β(α?+e ^iξ β? are investigated. Formulas for the fluctuations (variances) of Hermitian trigonometric phase field operators ? ≡ côs φ, ? ≡ sîn φ (the so-called “Susskind–Glogower operators”) are found. Expressions for the rigorous uncertainty relations (Cauchy inequalities) for operators of the number of photons and trigonometric phase operators, as well as for operators ? and ?, are found and analyzed. The states of amplitude \({N_{\alpha ,\beta }}\left( {\left| {{{\sqrt {ne} }^{i\varphi }}\rangle + {e^{i\xi }}\left| {{{\sqrt {{n_\beta }e} }^{i\varphi }}\rangle } \right.} \right.} \right)\), φ = φ_α = φ_β, and phase \({N_{\alpha ,\beta }}\left( {\left| {{{\sqrt {ne} }^{i{\varphi _\alpha }}}\rangle + {e^{i\xi }}\left| {{{\sqrt {ne} }^{i{\varphi _\beta }}}\rangle } \right.} \right.} \right)\), n = n _α = n _β, superpositions of coherent states are considered separately. The types of quantum superpositions of meso- and macroscales (n _α, n _β » 1) are found for which the sines and/or cosines of the phase of the field can be measured accurately, since, under certain conditions, the quantum fluctuations of these quantities are close to zero. A simultaneous accurate measurement of cosφ and sinφ is possible for amplitude superpositions, while an accurate measurement of one of these trigonometric phase functions is possible in the case of certain phase superpositions. Amplitude superpositions of coherent states with a vacuum state are quantum states of the field with a “maximum” level of the quantum uncertainty both in the case of a mesoscopic scale and in the case of a macroscopic scale of the field with an average number of photons n _α/β ≈ 0, n _β/α » 1.     

A Note on Quantum Coherence

In this paper, we discuss the coherence of the reduced state in system H _A ?H _B under taking different quantum operations acting on subsystem H _B . Firstly, we show that for a pure bipartite state, the coherence of the final subsystem H _A under the sum of two orthonormal rank 1 projections acting on H _B is less than or equal to the sum of the coherence of the state after two orthonormal projections acting on H _B , respectively. Secondly, we obtain that the coherence of reduced state in subsystem H _A under random unitary channel \({\Phi }(\rho )={\sum }_{s}\lambda _{s}U_{s}\rho U_{s}^{\ast }\) acting on H _B , is equal to the coherence of the state after each operation \({\Phi }_{s}(\rho )=\lambda _{s}U_{s}\rho U_{s}^{\ast }\) acting on H _B for every s. In addition, for general quantum operation \({\Phi }(\rho )={\sum }_{s}F_{s}\rho F_{s}^{\ast }\) on H _B , we get the relation

$$ C\left (\left ((I\otimes {\Phi })\rho ^{AB}\right )^{A}\right )\leq \sum \limits _{s}C\left (\left ((I\otimes {\Phi }_{s})\rho ^{AB}\right )^{A}\right ). $$

     

Laguerre-Polynomial-Weighted Two-Mode Squeezed State

We propose a new optical field named Laguerre-polynomial-weighted two-mode squeezed state. We find that such a state can be generated by passing the l-photon excited two-mode squeezed vacuum state C_la^?lS₂|00〉 through an single-mode amplitude damping channel. Physically, this paper actually is concerned what happens when both excitation and damping of photons co-exist for a two-mode squeezed state, e.g., dessipation of photon-added two-mode squeezed vacuum state. We employ the summation method within ordered product of operators and a new generating function formula about two-variable Hermite polynomials to proceed our discussion.     

Parabolic Anderson Model in a Dynamic Random Environment: Random Conductances

The parabolic Anderson model is defined as the partial differential equation ? u(x, t)/? t = κ Δ u(x, t) + ξ(x, t)u(x, t), x ∈ ? ^d , t ≥ 0, where κ ∈ [0, ∞) is the diffusion constant, Δ is the discrete Laplacian, and ξ is a dynamic random environment that drives the equation. The initial condition u(x, 0) = u ₀(x), x ∈ ? ^d , is typically taken to be non-negative and bounded. The solution of the parabolic Anderson equation describes the evolution of a field of particles performing independent simple random walks with binary branching: particles jump at rate 2d κ, split into two at rate ξ ∨ 0, and die at rate (?ξ) ∨ 0. In earlier work we looked at the Lyapunov exponents

$$ \lambda _{p}(\kappa ) = \lim\limits _{t\to \infty } \frac {1}{t} \log \mathbb {E} ([u(0,t)]^{p})^{1/p}, \quad p \in \mathbb{N} , \qquad \lambda _{0}(\kappa ) = \lim\limits _{t\to \infty } \frac {1}{t}\log u(0,t). $$

For the former we derived quantitative results on the κ-dependence for four choices of ξ : space-time white noise, independent simple random walks, the exclusion process and the voter model. For the latter we obtained qualitative results under certain space-time mixing conditions on ξ. In the present paper we investigate what happens when κΔ is replaced by Δ^??, where ?? = {??(x, y) : x, y ∈ ? _d , x ～ y} is a collection of random conductances between neighbouring sites replacing the constant conductances κ in the homogeneous model. We show that the associated annealed Lyapunov exponents λ _p (??), p ∈ ?, are given by the formula

$$ \lambda _{p}(\mathcal{K} ) = \text{sup} \{\lambda _{p}(\kappa ) : \, \kappa \in \text{Supp} (\mathcal{K} )\}, $$

where, for a fixed realisation of ??, Supp(??) is the set of values taken by the ??-field. We also show that for the associated quenched Lyapunov exponent λ ₀(??) this formula only provides a lower bound, and we conjecture that an upper bound holds when Supp(??) is replaced by its convex hull. Our proof is valid for three classes of reversible ξ, and for all ?? satisfying a certain clustering property, namely, there are arbitrarily large balls where ?? is almost constant and close to any value in Supp(??). What our result says is that the annealed Lyapunov exponents are controlled by those pockets of ?? where the conductances are close to the value that maximises the growth in the homogeneous setting. In contrast our conjecture says that the quenched Lyapunov exponent is controlled by a mixture of pockets of ?? where the conductances are nearly constant. Our proof is based on variational representations and confinement arguments.

     

Gamow Vectors in a Periodically Perturbed Quantum System

Gamow vectors and resonances play an important role in scattering theory, especially in the physics of metastable states. We study Gamow vectors and resonances in a time-dependent setting using the Borel summation method. In particular, we analyze the behavior of the wave function ψ(x,t) for one dimensional time-dependent Hamiltonian \(H=-\partial_{x}^{2}\pm2\delta(x)(1+2r\cos\omega t)\) where ψ(x,0) is compactly supported.We show that ψ(x,t) has a Borel summable expansion containing finitely many terms of the form \(\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}e^{i^{3/2}\sqrt{-\lambda_{k}+n\omega i}|x|}A_{k,n}e^{-\lambda_{k}t+n\omega it}\), where λ _k represents the associated resonance. This expression defines Gamow vectors and resonances in a rigorous and physically relevant way for all frequencies and amplitudes in a time-dependent model.For small amplitude (|r|?1) there is one resonance for generic initial conditions. We calculate the position of the resonance and discuss its physical meaning as related to multiphoton ionization. We give qualitative theoretical results as well as numerical calculations in the general case.     

The Finite-Size Scaling Study of the Ising Model for the Fractals

The fractals are obtained by using the model of diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) for 40 ≤ L ≤ 240. The two-dimensional Ising model is simulated on the Creutz cellular automaton for 40 ≤ L ≤ 240. The critical exponents and the fractal dimensions are computed to be β = 0.124(8), γ = 1.747(10), α = 0.081(21), δ = 14.994(11), η = 0.178(10), ν = 0.960(23) and \(d_{f}^{\beta } =1.876(8), \,d_{f}^{\gamma } =3.747(10), \,d_{f}^{\alpha } =2.081(68), \,d_{f}^{\delta } =1.940(22)\), \(d_{f}^{\eta } =2.178(10)\), \(d_{f}^{\nu } =2.960(22)\), which are consistent with the theoretical values of β = 0.125, γ = 1.75, α = 0, δ = 15, η = 0.25, ν = 1 and \(d_{f}^{\beta } =1.875, \,d_{f}^{\gamma } =3.75, \,d_{f}^{\alpha } =2, \,d_{f}^{\delta } =1.933, \,d_{f}^{\eta } =2.25, \,d_{f}^{\nu } =3\).     

A New Set of Limiting Gibbs Measures for the Ising Model on a Cayley Tree

For the Ising model (with interaction constant J>0) on the Cayley tree of order k≥2 it is known that for the temperature T≥T _c,k =J/arctan?(1/k) the limiting Gibbs measure is unique, and for T<T _c,k there are uncountably many extreme Gibbs measures. In the Letter we show that if \(T\in(T_{c,\sqrt{k}}, T_{c,k_{0}})\), with \(\sqrt{k} then there is a new uncountable set \({\mathcal{G}}_{k,k_{0}}\) of Gibbs measures. Moreover \({\mathcal{G}}_{k,k_{0}}\ne {\mathcal{G}}_{k,k'_{0}}\), for k ₀≠k′₀. Therefore if \(T\in (T_{c,\sqrt{k}}, T_{c,\sqrt{k}+1})\), \(T_{c,\sqrt{k}+1} then the set of limiting Gibbs measures of the Ising model contains the set {known Gibbs measures}\(\cup(\bigcup_{k_{0}:\sqrt{k}.     

Ghost Dark Energy with Non-Linear Interaction Term

Here we investigate ghost dark energy (GDE) in the presence of a non-linear interaction term between dark matter and dark energy. To this end we take into account a general form for the interaction term. Then we discuss about different features of three choices of the non-linear interacting GDE. In all cases we obtain equation of state parameter, w _D = p/ρ, the deceleration parameter and evolution equation of the dark energy density parameter (Ω _D ). We find that in one case, w _D cross the phantom line (w _D < ?1). However in two other classes w _D can not cross the phantom divide. The coincidence problem can be solved in these models completely and there exist good agreement between the models and observational values of w _D , q. We study squared sound speed \({v_{s}^{2}}\), and find that for one case of non-linear interaction term \({v_{s}^{2}}\) can achieves positive values at late time of evolution.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">U</Emphasis>(2) and minimal flavour violation in supersymmetry

Rather than sticking to the full U(3)³ approximate symmetry normally invoked in Minimal Flavour Violation, we analyze the consequences on the current flavour data of a suitably broken U(2)³ symmetry acting on the first two generations of quarks and squarks. A definite correlation emerges between the ΔF=2 amplitudes \(\mathcal{M}( K^{0} \to \bar{K}^{0} )\), \(\mathcal{M}( B_{d} \to \bar{B}_{d} )\) and \(\mathcal{M}( B_{s} \to \bar{B}_{s} )\), which can resolve the current tension between \(\mathcal{M}( K^{0} \to \bar{K}^{0} )\) and \(\mathcal{M}( B_{d} \to \bar{B}_{d} )\), while predicting \(\mathcal{M}( B_{s}\to \bar{B}_{s} )\). In particular, the CP violating asymmetry in B _s →ψφ is predicted to be positive S _ψφ =0.12±0.05 and above its Standard Model value (S _ψφ =0.041±0.002). The preferred region for the gluino and the left-handed sbottom masses is below about 1÷1.5 TeV. An existence proof of a dynamical model realizing the U(2)³ picture is outlined.     

Excited state mass spectra of doubly heavy $$\Xi $$ baryons

In this paper, the mass spectra are obtained for doubly heavy \(\Xi \) baryons, namely, \(\Xi _{cc}^{+}\), \(\Xi _{cc}^{++}\), \(\Xi _{bb}^{-}\), \(\Xi _{bb}^{0}\), \(\Xi _{bc}^{0}\) and \(\Xi _{bc}^{+}\). These baryons consist of two heavy quarks (cc, bb, and bc) with a light (d or u) quark. The ground, radial, and orbital states are calculated in the framework of the hypercentral constituent quark model with Coulomb plus linear potential. Our results are also compared with other predictions, thus, the average possible range of excited states masses of these \(\Xi \) baryons can be determined. The study of the Regge trajectories is performed in (n, \(M^{2}\)) and (J, \(M^{2}\)) planes and their slopes and intercepts are also determined. Lastly, the ground state magnetic moments of these doubly heavy baryons are also calculated.     

Long Time,Large Scale Limit of the Wigner Transform for a System of Linear Oscillators in One Dimension

We consider the long time, large scale behavior of the Wigner transform W _? (t,x,k) of the wave function corresponding to a discrete wave equation on a 1-d integer lattice, with a weak multiplicative noise. This model has been introduced in Basile et al. in Phys. Rev. Lett. 96 (2006) to describe a system of interacting linear oscillators with a weak noise that conserves locally the kinetic energy and the momentum. The kinetic limit for the Wigner transform has been shown in Basile et al. in Arch. Rat. Mech. 195(1):171–203 (2009). In the present paper we prove that in the unpinned case there exists γ ₀>0 such that for any γ∈(0,γ ₀] the weak limit of W _? (t/? ^3/2γ ,x/? ^γ ,k), as ??1, satisfies a one dimensional fractional heat equation \(\partial_{t} W(t,x)=-\hat{c}(-\partial_{x}^{2})^{3/4}W(t,x)\) with \(\hat{c}>0\). In the pinned case an analogous result can be claimed for W _? (t/? ^2γ ,x/? ^γ ,k) but the limit satisfies then the usual heat equation.     

Thermodynamics of the frustrated J<Subscript>1</Subscript>-J<Subscript>2</Subscript> Heisenberg ferromagnet on the body-centered cubic lattice with arbitrary spin

We use the spin-rotation-invariant Green’s function method as well as thehigh-temperature expansion to discuss the thermodynamic properties of the frustratedspin-S J ₁-J ₂ Heisenbergmagnet on the body-centered cubic lattice. We consider ferromagnetic nearest-neighborbonds J ₁<0 and antiferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbor bonds J ₂ ≥ 0 andarbitrary spin S. We find that the transition point\hbox{$J_2^c$}J2cbetween the ferromagnetic ground state and theantiferromagnetic one is nearly independent of the spin S, i.e., it is very closeto the classical transition point\hbox{$J_2^{c,{\rm clas}}= \frac{2}{3}|J_1|$}J2c,clas=23|J1|. At finite temperatures we focus on the parameterregime\hbox{$J_2<J_2^c$}J2<J2cwith a ferromagnetic ground-state. We calculate theCurie temperature T _C (S, J ₂)and derive an empirical formula describing the influence of the frustration parameterJ ₂ and spin S on T _C . We find that theCurie temperature monotonically decreases with increasing frustration J ₂, where veryclose to\hbox{$J_2^{c,{\rm clas}}$}J2c,clasthe T _C (J ₂)-curveexhibits a fast decay which is well described by a logarithmic term\hbox{$1/\textrm{log}(\frac{2}{3}|J_1|-J_{2})$}1/log(23|J1|?J2). To characterize the magnetic ordering below and aboveT _C , we calculate thespin-spin correlation functions ?S ₀ S _R ?, the spontaneous magnetization, the uniform static susceptibilityχ ₀ as well as the correlation lengthξ.Moreover, we discuss the specific heat C _V and the temperaturedependence of the excitation spectrum. As approaching the transition point\hbox{$J_2^c$}J2csome unusual features were found, such as negativespin-spin correlations at temperatures above T _C even though theground state is ferromagnetic or an increase of the spin stiffness with growingtemperature.     

The New Multipartite Squeezing Operator and Some of its Properties

In this paper, we introduce a pair of mutually conjugate multipartite entangled state representations for defining the squeezing operator of entangled multipartite S_n(λ) which involves an n-mode bosonic operator realization of the SU(1,1) Lie algebra. This operator squeezes the multipartite entangled state in a natural way. We discuss the transform properties of a_j and \(a_{j}^{\dagger }\) under the operation of S_n(λ) and derive the interaction Hamiltonian which can generate such an evolution. In addition, the corresponding multipartite squeezed vacuum state |λ〉 is obtained. Based on this, the variances of the n-mode quadratures in |λ〉 are evaluated and the violation of the Bell inequality for |λ〉 is examined by using the formalism of Wigner representation.     

Parametrization of supersingular perturbations in the method of rigged Hilbert spaces

A classification of bounded below supersingular perturbations à of a self-adjoint operator A ? 1 is suggested. In the A-scale of Hilbert spaces \(\mathcal{H}_{ - k} \sqsupset \mathcal{H} \sqsupset \mathcal{H}_k \) = Dom A ^k/2, k > 0, a parametrization of operators à in terms of bounded mappings S: \(\mathcal{H}_k \to \mathcal{H}_{ - k} \) such that ker S is dense in \(\mathcal{H}_{k/2} \) is obtained.     

Limit of Fluctuations of Solutions of Wigner Equation

We consider fluctuations of the solution W _ε (t, x, k) of the Wigner equation which describes energy evolution of a solution of the Schrödinger equation with a random white noise in time potential. The expectation of W _ε (t, x, k) converges as ε → 0 to \({\bar{W}(t,x,k)}\) which satisfies the radiative transport equation. We prove that when the initial data is singular in the x variable, that is, W _ε (0, x, k) = δ(x)f(k) and \({f\in {\mathcal{S}}(\mathbb{R}^d)}\), then the laws of the rescaled fluctuation \({Z_\varepsilon(t):=\varepsilon^{-1/2}[W_\varepsilon(t,x,k)-\bar{W}(t,x,k)]}\) converge, as ε → 0+, to the solution of the same radiative transport equation but with a random initial data. This complements the result of [6], where the limit of the covariance function has been considered.     

Antihydrogen formation in low-energy antiproton collisions with excited-state positronium atoms

The convergent close-coupling method is used to obtain cross sections for antihydrogen formation in low-energy antiproton collisions with positronium (Ps) atoms in specified initial excited states with principal quantum numbers n_i ≤?5. The threshold behaviour as a function of the Ps kinetic energy, E, is consistent with the 1/E law expected from threshold theory for all initial states. We find that the increase in the cross sections is muted above n_i =?3 and that here their scaling is roughly consistent with \({n_{i}^{2}}\), rather than the classically expected increase as \({n_{i}^{4}}\).     

Characterisation of electric discharge in hollow electrode Z-pinch device by means of Rogowski coils

In this paper, the energy spectra of the general molecular potential are obtained using the asymptotic iteration method within the framework of non-relativistic quantum mechanics.With the energy spectrum obtained, the vibrational partition function is calculated in a closed form and is used to obtain an expression for other thermodynamic functions such as vibrational mean energy U, vibrational mean free energy F, vibrational entropy S and vibrational specific heat capacity C. These thermodynamic functions are studied for the electronic state \(\mathrm{X}^{1}\Sigma _g^+ \) of \(K_2\) diatomic molecules.
