New approach for deriving the exact time evolution of density operator for diffusive anharmonic oscillator and its Wigner distribution function

Using the thermal entangled state representation, we solve the master equation of a diffusive anharmonic oscillator (AHO) to obtain the exact time evolution formula for the density operator in the infinitive operator-sum representation. We present a new evolution formula of the Wigner function (WF) for any initial state of the diffusive AHO by converting the calculation of the WF to an overlap between two pure states in an enlarged Fock space. It is found that this formula brings us much convenience to investigate the WF's evolution of any known initial state. As applications, this formula is used to obtain the evolution of the WF for a coherent state and the evolution of the photon-number distribution of the diffusive AHO.

Time evolution of distribution functions in dissipative environments

By introducing the thermal entangled state representation,we investigate the time evolution of distribution functions in the dissipative channels by bridging the relation between the initial distribution function and the any time distribution function.We find that most of them are expressed as such integrations over the Laguerre-Gaussian function.Furthermore,as applications,we derive the time evolution of photon-counting distribution by bridging the relation between the initial distribution function and the any time photon-counting distribution,and the time evolution of Rfunction characteristic of nonclassicality depth.     

Auxiliary Field Functional Integral Representation of the Many-Body Evolution Operator

Finding an appropriate functional integral representation of the many-body evolution operator is a crucial task for performing efficient calculations of fermionic systems within the auxiliary field approach. In this paper we derive a new field representation of the imaginary-time evolution operator using the method of Gaussian equivalent representation of Efimov and Ganbold (1991, Physica Status Solidi 168, 165). The goal is to obtain a functional integral representation, in which the main divergences caused by the tadpole Feynman diagrams are efficiently eliminated. These diagrams provide the main contributions to the ground state of the system under consideration, and therefore it is important to take them into account adequately, especially at lower temperatures. In addition, we show that the well-known mean field representation of the imaginary-time evolution operator is only the limiting case of the Gaussian equivalent representation in the small time-step regime.     

Time evolution of Wigner function in laser process derived by entangled state representation

Evaluating the Wigner function of quantum states in the entangled state representation is introduced, based on which we present a new approach for deriving time evolution formula of Wigner function in laser process. Application of this formula to photon number measurement in laser process is also presented, as an example, the case when the initial state is a photon-added coherent state is discussed.     

Nonclassicality and Decoherence of the Variable Arcsine State in a Thermal Environment

A kind of non-Gaussian state—variable arcsine state is studied by using the input-output theories which relate the statistical properties of the output field to those of the input field. The variable arcsine state (VAS) is generated by using a variable beam splitter (BS), which means that the transmissivity (reflectivity) of the BS is adjustable continuously. The nonclassicality is investigated by studying the negativity of Wigner function (WF). It is shown that the variable arcsine state has negative values of WF when transmissivity is not equal to 1 or 0. The decoherence effect of the VAS is then studied by analytically deriving the time evolution formula of WF.     

Nonclassicality and decoherence of two-mode photon-added squeezed vacuum

We investigate the nonclassicality of two-mode photon-added squeezed vacuum state (TPASV) and its decoherence in a thermal environment according to the sub-Poissonian statistics and the negative region of Wigner function (WF). Based on the fact that the TPASV can be seen as a squeezed Hermite polynomial excitation state, we further obtain a compact expression for the normalization factor of TPASV, i.e., a Jacobi polynomial of the squeezing parameter. We also derive the explicit expression of WF of TPASV and then the decoherence effect on this state is also discussed by deriving the time evolution of the WF and its negative region.     

New Approach for Solving Master Equations in Quantum Optics and Quantum Statistics by Virtue of Thermo-Entangled State Representation

By introducing a fictitious mode to be a counterpart mode of the system mode under review we introduce the entangled state representation <η |, which can arrange master equations of density operators ρ(t) in quantum statisticsas state-vector evolution equations due to the elegant properties of <η |. In this way many master equations (respectively describing damping oscillator, laser, phase sensitive, and phase diffusion processes with different initial density operators) can be concisely solved. Specially, for a damping process characteristic of thedecay constant κ we find that the matrix element of ρ (t) at time t in <η| representation is proportional to that of the initial ρ₀ in the decayed entangled state <ηe^-κt| representation, accompanying with a Gaussian damping factor. Thus we have a new insight about the nature of the dissipative process. We also set up the so-called thermo-entangled state representation of density operators, ρ=∫(d²η /π)< η | ρ> D(η), which is different from all the previous known epresentations.

Infinitive Operator-Sum Representation for Damping in a Squeezed Heat Reservoir via the Thermo Entangled State Approach

Using the thermo entangled state approach, we successfully solve the master equation of a damped harmonic oscillator affected by a linear resonance force in a squeezed heat reservoir, and obtain the analytical evolution formula for the density operator in the infinitive Kraus operator-sum representation. Interestingly, the Kraus operators M_l,m,n,r and \(\mathfrak {M}_{l,m,n,r}^{\dag }\) are not Hermite conjugate, but they are still trace-preserving quantum operations because of the normalization condition. We also investigate the evolution for an initial coherent state for damping in a squeezed heat reservoir, which shows that the initial coherent state decays to a complex mixed state as a result of damping and thermal noise.     

Nonclassicality and decoherence of coherent superposition operation of photon subtraction and photon addition on squeezed state

The statistical properties of m-coherent superposition operation (μa+νa⁺)^m on the single-mode squeezed vacuum state (M-SSVS) and its decoherence in a thermal environment have been studied. Converting the M-SSVS to a squeezed Hermite polynomial excitation state, we obtain a compact expression for the normalization factor of M-SSVS, which is the Legendre polynomial of the squeezing parameter. We also derive the explicit expression of Wigner function (WF) of M-SSVS, and find the negative region of WF in phase space. The decoherence effect on this state is then discussed by deriving the time evolution of the WF. Using the negativity of WF, the loss of nonclassicality has been discussed.

A Resonance Theory for Open Quantum Systems with Time-Dependent Dynamics

We develop a resonance theory to describe the evolution of open systems with time-dependent dynamics. Our approach is based on piecewise constant Hamiltonians: we represent the evolution on each constant bit using a recently developed dynamical resonance theory, and we piece them together to obtain the total evolution. The initial state corresponding to one time-interval with constant Hamiltonian is the final state of the system corresponding to the interval before. This results in a non-Markovian dynamics. We find a representation of the dynamics in terms of resonance energies and resonance states associated to the Hamiltonians, valid for all times t≥0 and for small (but fixed) interaction strengths. The representation has the form of a path integral over resonances. We present applications to a spin-fermion system, where the energy levels of the spin may undergo rather arbitrary crossings in the course of time. In particular, we find the probability for transition between ground- and excited state at all times.     

Stationary Correlations for the 1D KPZ Equation

We study exact stationary properties of the one-dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation by using the replica approach. The stationary state for the KPZ equation is realized by setting the initial condition the two-sided Brownian motion (BM) with respect to the space variable. Developing techniques for dealing with this initial condition in the replica analysis, we elucidate some exact nature of the height fluctuation for the KPZ equation. In particular, we obtain an explicit representation of the probability distribution of the height in terms of the Fredholm determinants. Furthermore from this expression, we also get the exact expression of the space-time two-point correlation function.     

Inversion formula and Parseval theorem for complex continuous wavelet transforms studied by entangled state representation

In a preceding letter (2007 Opt.Lett.32 554) we propose complex continuous wavelet transforms and found Laguerre-Gaussian mother wavelets family.In this work we present the inversion formula and Parseval theorem for complex continuous wavelet transform by virtue of the entangled state representation,which makes the complex continuous wavelet transform theory complete.A new orthogonal property of mother wavelet in parameter space is revealed.     

Entropy evolution law in a laser process

For the first time, we obtain the entropy variation law in a laser process after finding the Kraus operator of the master equation describing the laser process with the use of the entangled state representation. The behavior of entropy is determined by the competition of the gain and damping in the laser process. The evolution formula for the number of photons is also obtained.

Admissible states in quantum phase space

We address the question of which phase space functionals might represent a quantum state. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for both pure and mixed phase space quantum states. From the pure state quantum condition we obtain a formula for the momentum correlations of arbitrary order and derive explicit expressions for the wave functions in terms of time-dependent and independent Wigner functions. We show that the pure state quantum condition is preserved by the Moyal (but not by the classical Liouville) time evolution and is consistent with a generic stargenvalue equation. As a by-product Baker's converse construction is generalized both to an arbitrary stargenvalue equation, associated to a generic phase space symbol, as well as to the time-dependent case. These results are properly extended to the mixed state quantum condition, which is proved to imply the Heisenberg uncertainty relations. Globally, this formalism yields the complete characterization of the kinematical structure of Wigner quantum mechanics. The previous results are then succinctly generalized for various quasi-distributions. Finally, the formalism is illustrated through the simple examples of the harmonic oscillator and the free Gaussian wave packet. As a by-product, we obtain in the former example an integral representation of the Hermite polynomials.     

Evolution of the single-mode squeezed vacuum state in amplitude dissipative channel

Using the way of deriving infinitive sum representation of density operator as a solution to the master equation describing the amplitude dissipative channel by virtue of the entangled state representation, we show manifestly how the initial density operator of a single-mode squeezed vacuum state evolves into a definite mixed state which turns out to be a squeezed chaotic state with decreasing-squeezing and deeoherence. We investigate average photon number, photon statistics distributions for this mixed state.     

Limit Theorems for Open Quantum Random Walks

We consider the limit distributions of open quantum random walks on one-dimensional lattice space. We introduce a dual process to the original quantum walk process, which is quite similar to the relation of Schrödinger-Heisenberg representation in quantum mechanics. By this, we can compute the distribution of the open quantum random walks concretely for many examples and thereby we can also obtain the limit distributions of them. In particular, it is possible to get rid of the initial state when we consider the evolution of the walk, it appears only in the last step of the computation.
