粒子在二维开放型四分之一圆形微腔中的逃逸研究

利用半经典理论对粒子在开放型四分之一圆形微腔中的逃逸过程进行了研究,推导出了逃逸几率密度的计算公式.我们研究了一簇从四分之一圆形微腔的左下方的入口出射、并从该微腔右边界逃逸的粒子轨迹.对于粒子的每一条逃逸轨迹,记录下它的传播时间和逃逸的位置.结果发现逃逸时间图随着逃逸点的位置的变化曲线呈现出振荡结构.随着碰撞次数的增加,逃逸点的位置越靠近该腔的右顶端.对一系列的探测点,找到从源点出发到达探测点的轨迹,然后应用半经典理论来构造波函数,进而给出逃逸几率密度的计算公式.研究结果标明,逃逸几率密度与探测平面上逃逸点的位置、粒子的动量、初始出射角及与微腔的碰撞次数有关.为了更清楚的看出量子力学和经典力学之间的联系,我们对体系的半经典波函数进行傅里叶变换,给出了粒子的路径长度谱.路径长度谱的每个峰值对应于一条粒子逃逸轨迹的长度.本文的研究对理解量子力学和经典力学之间的联系以及研究粒子在微腔中的的逃逸和输运过程有一定的参考价值.

氢原子的固有电偶极矩

用经典力学和双波量子力学计算了氢原子的固有电偶极矩。双波量子理论算得的结果在经典极限下与经典力学的结果一致。普通量子力学对氢原子Stark效应中表现出来的电偶极矩难以做出很好的解释，因为一个波函数描述的是系综而不是单个粒子。经典力学和双波量子力学可描述单个粒子的行为，对永久电偶极矩的计算和解释显得自然而合理。     

三个课题组关闭了验证贝尔理论实验中的漏洞

正通常情况下,量子力学很难与经典世界的直觉相符。我们知道,经典粒子具有确定的位置和动量,而量子波函数仅能给出几率分布。除此之外,量子理论认为,无论两粒子相距多远,只要它们处于纠缠态,那么测量其中一个粒子,就可以瞬间改变另一个粒子的波函数。在量子世界里,这些反直觉效应还有很多,那么它们是错觉吗?有科学家提出,或许利用系统隐变

对于具有连续能谱的单粒子量子体系,“包含在连续谱量子体系中的决定论性”一文用所谓“双波函数”来描述处于能量本征态的粒子系综中各粒子的量子行为,并且在所谓的“等价定理”中称:双波函数描述在经典极限下将化为经典力学描述.然而,此描述所给出的系综力学量观测值统计分布的预言与通常量子力学不相容;并且,该文对其“等价定理”的证明是不正确的,这个“定理”实际上不成立 关键词： 连续能谱量子体系 双波函数 经典极限

Escape of Particles from an Open Square-Shaped Cavity

The escape of particles in an open square-shaped cavity has been examined. We consider a family of trajectories launched from the left bottom lead of the square cavity and escaped from the right boundary. For each escaping trajectories, we record the propagation time and the detector position. We find that the escape time graph exhibits a regular sawtooth structure. For a set of detector points, we search for the classical trajectories from the source point to the detector points. Then we use semiclassical theory to construct the wave function at different given points. The calculation results suggest that the escape probability density depends on the detector position and the momentum of the particle sensitively. The Fourier transform of the semiclassical wave function gives the path length spectrum. Each peak in the path length spectrum corresponds to the length of one escape trajectory of the particle. We hope that our results will be useful in understanding the escape and transport process of particles inside a microcavity.     

Escape of photo-detached electron from an annular nanomicrocavity

The escaped probability density of the photo-detached electron in an annular nanomicrocavity shows strong oscillations as a function of the length of the escape orbits. We present a semiclassical theory that describes theses oscillations in terms of bundles of escape orbits. Due to the interference effects of the electron waves travelling along different escaped orbits, oscillatory structures appear in the escaped probability density. In addition, the calculation results suggest that the escaped probability density of the photo-detached electron is not only related to the inner radius of the annular microcavity, but also related to the laser polarization. In order to show the correspondence between the escaped probability density and the detached electron’s escaped orbits clearly, we calculate the Fourier transformed semiclassical wave function and find that the peak positions agree well with the length of the detached electron’s orbits. We hope that our results will be useful in understanding the escape and propagation process of particles through semiconductor microjunctions or ballistic microstructure.     

Photoionization microscopy of Rydberg hydrogen atom in a non-uniform electrical field

In this paper,we investigate the photoionization microscopy of the Rydberg hydrogen atom in a gradient electric field for the first time.The observed oscillatory patterns in the photoionization microscopy are explained within the framework of the semiclassical theory,which can be considered as a manifestation of interference between various electron trajectories arriving at a given point on the detector plane.In contrast with the photoionization microscopy in the uniform electric field,the trajectories of the ionized electron in the gradient electric field will become chaotic.An infinite set of different electron trajectories can arrive at a given point on the detector plane,which makes the interference pattern of the electron probability density distribution extremely complicated.Our calculation results suggest that the oscillatory pattern in the electron probability density distribution depends sensitively on the electric field gradient,the scaled energy and the position of the detector plane.Through our research,we predict that the interference pattern in the electron probability density distribution can be observed in an actual photoionization microscopy experiment once the external electric field strength and the position of the electron detector plane are reasonable.This study provides some references for the future experimental research on the photoionization microscopy of the Rydberg atom in the non-uniform external fields.     

Quantization in classical mechanics and its relation to the Bohmian Ψ-field

Based on the Chetaev theorem on stable dynamical trajectories in the presence of dissipative forces, we obtain the generalized condition for stability of Hamilton systems in the form of the Schrödinger equation.It is shown that the energy of dissipative forces, which generate the Chetaev generalized condition of stability, coincides exactly with the Bohm “quantum” potential. Within the frame-work of Bohmian quantum mechanics supplemented by the generalized Chetaev theorem and on the basis of the principle of least action for dissipative forces, we show that the squared amplitude of a wave function in the Schrödinger equation is equivalent semantically and syntactically to the probability density function for the number of particle trajectories, relative to which the velocity and the position of the particle are not hidden parameters. The conditions for the correctness of trajectory interpretation of quantum mechanics are discussed.     

Unstable trajectories and the quantum mechanical uncertainty

There is still an ongoing discussion about various seemingly contradictory aspects of classical particle motion and its quantum mechanical counterpart. One of the best accepted viewpoints that intend to bridge the gap is the so-called Copenhagen Interpretation. A major issue there is to regard wave functions as probability amplitudes (usually for the position of a particle). However, the literature also reports on approaches that claim a trajectory for any quantum mechanical particle, Bohmian mechanics probably being the most prominent one among these ideas. We introduce a way to calculate trajectories as well, but our crucial ingredient is their well controlled local (thus also momentaneous) degree of instability. By construction, at every moment their unpredictability, i.e., their local separation rates of neighboring trajectories, is governed by the local value of the given modulus square of a wave function. We present extensive numerical simulations of the H and He atom, and for some velocity-related quantities, namely angular momentum and total energy, we inspect their agreement with the values appearing in wave mechanics. Further, we interpret the archetypal double slit interference experiment in the spirit of our findings. We also discuss many-particle problems far beyond He, which guides us to a variety of possible applications.     

The Weyl representation in classical and quantum mechanics

The position representation of the evolution operator in quantum mechanics is analogous to the generating function formalism of classical mechanics. Similarly, the Weyl representation is connected to new generating functions described by chords and centres in phase space. Both classical and quantal theories relie on the group of translations and reflections through a point in phase space. The composition of small time evolutions leads to new versions of the classical variational principle and to path integrals in quantum mechanics. The strong resemblance between the two theories allows a clear derivation of the semiclassical limit in which observables evolve classically in the Weyl representation. The restriction of the motion to the energy shell in classical mechanics is the basis for a full review of the semiclassical Wigner function and the theory of scars of periodic orbits. By embedding the theory of scars in a fully uniform approximation, it is shown that the region in which the scar contribution is oscillatory is separated from a decaying region by a caustic that touches the shell along the periodic orbit and widens quadratically within the energy shell.
