原子自发辐射中偶极矩的涨落与最大纠缠态的保持

研究了二能级原子与电磁场相互作用体系的自发辐射与量子纠缠态.在原子的自发辐射过程中,其偶极矩的期待值总是零,但偶极矩的涨落恒等于一个不为零的常量,因此原子的自发辐射是由真空起伏导致偶极矩的涨落引起的.Jaynes-Cummings模型是产生量子纠缠态的重要体系,研究发现,原子与场纠缠态的信息熵和纠缠度随时间作周期性的振荡,量子态在非纠缠与纠缠态之间变化.更为重要的是,在失谐量适当时,量子态将长时间停留在最大纠缠态.     

手征介质与陈绝缘体界面附近原子的自发辐射研究

对手征特异材料介质与陈绝缘体材料界面附近二能级原子的自发辐射特性进行了研究.推导计算了手征介质界面及其与陈绝缘体材料界面的反射系数矩阵,并根据并矢格林函数求得此环境下二能级原子自发衰减率的表达式.对手征介质和陈绝缘体材料特性参数影响下的原子自发辐射进行了数值计算,分别对平行和垂直于界面的偶极子自发衰减率进行讨论,并对辐射模式和消逝模式下的自发辐射进行了分析.结果表明,由于手征参量的存在,手征介质界面附近的原子自发衰减率与普通介质相比被增强.陈绝缘体则使得界面附近原子的自发辐射被明显抑制,且当手征参量较大时,陈绝缘体的抑制效应更加显著.     

一维含负折射率材料结构中原子的瞬时自发辐射

负折射率材料是一种新型的人工材料，其介电常数和磁导率同时小于零，导致了折射率小于零。当电磁波入射到正负折射率材料的界面上，将会产生负的折射现象。因此单个负折射率材料板能起到能量汇聚的作用。用正负折射率交替排列组成的一维光子晶体能产生不同于通常布拉格带隙的零平均折射率带隙。这种带隙能抑制几乎全方向的辐射，从而能对原子自发辐射产生更强的抑制作用。J．Kastel和M．Fleischhauer最近提出用理想负折射率材料板加上理想反射镜，在适当条件下会完全抑制原子的自发辐射。本文我们考虑在包含实际负折射率材料—有色散和吸收—的一维结构对原子自发辐射的影响。     

用不同密度分布的发光分子探测光子晶体的全态密度

单一原子（分子）的自发辐射衰变的动力学性质强烈地依赖于其在光子晶体中的位置及其辐射偶极矩与所处位置场的相对方向.测量单一原子（分子）的自发辐射衰变特性只能反映光子晶体的局域态密度特征，而不能反映光子晶体的全态密度特征.理论上研究发现，通过引入含不同密度分布的发光分子可以探测到光子晶体的全态密度的部分细节甚至全部信息.按来源首次将全态密度分为两个部分，证明了特定的发光分子分布可以完善地反映其中的一部分或者全部，这为解释、设计加速或抑制原子（分子）自发辐射的实验提供了有益的指导. 关键词： 光子晶体 自发辐射 态密度 密度分布     

两个V型三能级原子系统的纠缠突然死亡与复苏

研究了在真空辐射场作用下,两个V型三能级原子系统的纠缠随时间的演化特性.发现当两原子间距较远,自发辐射会导致纠缠退化,甚至导致纠缠突然死亡,而原子激发态衰变的速率会影响纠缠死亡的时间;当两原子间距非常小,由于原子间的合作效应,死亡后的纠缠会在一段时间后复苏,初始的纠缠和复苏的纠缠由不同的原因引起.     

摩擦微观能量耗散机理的复合振子模型研究

提出无磨损界面摩擦微观能量耗散机理的复合振子模型，指出滑动摩擦过程同时存在整体做低频弹性振动的宏观振子和界面原子受激励产生热振动的微观振子，并在此基础上分析了宏观振子和微观振子对摩擦能量耗散的不同影响. 通过对界面原子的动力学分析，指出摩擦过程界面激励力的频率是能量转换的关键:在平衡力作用阶段，界面作用力的频率趋于零，因而可以直接作用到每个原子，力的作用效果是整体和均匀的；在失稳跳跃阶段,由于界面激励力的频率极高，造成摩擦界面原子获得的能量分布很不均匀，从而产生不可逆的能量耗散过程. 与目前通用的独立振子模型比较，复合振子模型能够更准确描述摩擦能量耗散过程，可为摩擦控制提供理论指导. 关键词： 摩擦 能量耗散机理 复合振子模型 独立振子模型     

左手材料中原子的自发辐射

近年来，左手材料的研究引起了人们极大的兴趣。左手材料通常由亚波长金属微结构（尺度远小于波长）构成，存在着电等离子体振荡频率和磁等离子体振荡频率。人们已经开始关注左手材料中原子的辐射性质，但以往的研究主要针对原子跃迁频率远离介质（等离子体）共振频率的情况。我们针对二能级原子跃迁频率和介质等离子体振荡频率共振的情况作了理论研究。由于在介质共振频率附近真空场被强烈改变了，计算结果表明其中的原子的自发辐射性质与自由空间中有明显不同。应用自发辐射的非马尔可夫理论，我们发现原子和介质中真空场的相互作用导致了原子-光场束缚态的出现。我们进一步分析了介质吸收对自发辐射的影响，证明存在吸收时在一定条件下原子和真空场的相互作用的特性仍可以得以保持。     

单镜面附近激发态极化原子的自发辐射简

利用格林函数和费米黄金定律,我们计算了单镜面附近的激发态极化原子的自发辐射率.结果表明:原子的自发辐射与原子的极化偶极距取向有关,并且随着原子与镜面间距的增大,辐射率呈现正弦形式的振荡.当偶极距取向与镜面方向平行时,自发辐射的正弦式振荡最为激烈.但是随着极化方向与镜面方向夹角的增大,自发辐射的振荡越来越弱.当偶极距取向与镜面垂直时,振荡几乎消失.利用光子的闭合轨道理论,我们可以发现激发态原子偶极距取向影响辐射光子数的多少,从而可以改变原子的自发辐射率.     

低频强场作用下三维光子晶体中二能级原子的自发辐射性质

研究了处于三维光子晶体中，且在强相干的低频场的驱动下的单个二能级原子的自发辐射性质.由于低频场的影响，使得原子产生了在跃迁过程中吸收或发射一个低频光子的衰减渠道.这些跃迁导致了自发辐射的量子干涉，再加上光子晶体能带带边的作用，自发辐射被显著抑制.原子的布居俘获依赖于原子上能级与能带带边的相对位置，低频场的频率和原子不同跃迁通道间的相对跃迁强度. 关键词： 光子晶体 二能级原子 自发辐射     

Spontaneous emission of two interacting atoms near an interface

The spontaneous emission rate of two interacting excited atoms near a dielectric interface is studied using the photon closed-orbit theory and the dipole image method. The total emission rate of one atom during the emission process is calculated as a function of the distance between the atom and the interface. The results suggest that the spontaneous emission rate depends not only on the atomic-interface distances, but also on the orientation of the two atomic dipoles and the initial distance between the two atoms. The oscillation in the spontaneous emission rate is caused by the interference between the outgoing electromagnetic wave emitted from one atom and other waves arriving at this atom after traveling along various classical orbits. Each peak in the Fourier transformed spontaneous emission rate corresponds with one action of photon classical orbit.     

Control of the Atomic Population of an Excited Atom by Using the Double Lorentzian Reservior

The evolution of two-level atomic system, in which the initial state is excited state, is investigated by adjusting the structural parameters of the dynamic and static double Lorentzian environment reservoir. In a static state (no modulation), we studied the effects of half width, center resonant frequency, and specific gravity on the evolution of energy level population. Under dynamic modulation, we used the dynamic cavity environment to control the evolution of spontaneous emission from an excited two-level atom. The dynamic modulation form for the half width of the double Lorentzian environment reservoir includes the rectangular single pulse, rectangular periodic pulse, and slowly continuous pulse. These conclusions make the idea of using the environmental change to modulate the coherent evolution of atomic system become true.

     

Casimir-Polder interaction of atoms with magnetodielectric bodies

A general theory of the Casimir-Polder interaction of single atoms with dispersing and absorbing magnetodielectric bodies is presented, which is based on QED in linear, causal media. Both ground-state and excited atoms are considered. Whereas the Casimir-Polder force acting on a ground-state atom can conveniently be derived from a perturbative calculation of the atom-field coupling energy, an atom in an excited state is subject to transient force components that can only be fully understood by a dynamical treatment based on the body-assisted vacuum Lorentz force. The results show that the Casimir-Polder force can be influenced by the body-induced broadening and shifting of atomic transitions — an effect that is not accounted for within lowest-order perturbation theory. The theory is used to study the Casimir-Polder force of a ground-state atom placed within a magnetodielectric multilayer system, with special emphasis on thick and thin plates as well as a planar cavity consisting of two thick plates. It is shown how the competing attractive and repulsive force components related to the electric and magnetic properties of the medium, respectively, can — for sufficiently strong magnetic properties — lead to the formation of potential walls and wells.     

Modification of radiation pressure due to cooperative scattering of light

Cooperative spontaneous emission of a single photon from a cloud of N atoms modifies substantially the radiation pressure exerted by a far-detuned laser beam exciting the atoms. On one hand, the force induced by photon absorption depends on the collective decay rate of the excited atomic state. On the other hand, directional spontaneous emission counteracts the recoil induced by the absorption. We derive an analytical expression for the radiation pressure in steady-state. For a smooth extended atomic distribution we show that the radiation pressure depends on the atom number via cooperative scattering and that, for certain atom numbers, it can be suppressed or enhanced. Cooperative scattering of light by extended atomic clouds can become important in the presence of quasi-resonant light and could be addressed in many cold atoms experiments.     

运用理想光子禁带模型实现对激发态原子系统演化的调控

通过调节动静态理想光子禁带模型库的结构参数,研究了初态处于激发态的两能级原子系统的演化.在静态无调制下研究理想光子禁带模型库环境的半宽度、中心谐振频率及比重对原子布居数演化的影响.在理想光子禁带库环境的中心共振频率受动态调制下,其调制形式分别取为:矩形单次脉冲、矩形周期性脉冲和缓变连续周期.在此基础上讨论动态调制形式的不同对原子布居数演化的影响.无论怎样的动态调制形式,衰减抑制在原子系统的演化过程还是有较明显的体现.这样就使得利用环境变化对原子布居数和原子系统相干性演化调制的想法得以实现.     

Spontaneous decay of an excited atom placed near a rectangular plate

Using the Born expansion of the Green tensor, we consider the spontaneous decay rate of an excited atom placed in the vicinity of a rectangular plate. We discuss the limitations of the commonly used simplifying assumption that the plate extends to infinity in the lateral directions and examine the effects of the atomic dipole moment orientation, atomic position, and plate boundary and thickness on the atomic decay rate. In particular, it is shown that due to the plate finite size, the spontaneous decay may be inhibited even when the atom is situated very close to the surface, and that in the boundary region, the spontaneous decay rate can be strongly modified.     

磁单负材料板附近的原子的自发辐射场分布

本文研究了磁单负材料板附近的两能级原子通过自发辐射激发的表面模式及场强分布. 磁单负材料是有效介电常数大于零而磁导率小于零的人工微结构材料. 根据麦克斯韦方程及边界条件, 这种材料板只支持TE极化的表面模式. 本文分析了具有不同磁导率和厚度的磁单负材料板所支持的表面模的性质, 如模式数目和模式的对称性, 进而讨论了这些特性对原子自发辐射场的空间分布的影响. 结果表明原子与磁单负材料板的距离可影响辐射场中表面模的比重, 当表面模起主要贡献时, 在材料板左表面上原子辐射场呈定向发射的分布. 而材料板右表面的辐射场分布取决于表面模的对称性和比重, 如果同时存在对称和反对称的表面模, 右表面的场很弱甚至完全消失, 而如果只存在对称或反对称的表面模, 右表面会有与左表面等强度的辐射场分布. 这些性质与原子在金属表面的辐射场分布明显不同, 我们的结果对原子辐射场的空间控制以及实现简单结构的单光子源有积极意义.     

Casimir-Polder interaction of excited media

The potential of long-range interaction between two dissimilar atoms, one of which is excited, drops as 1/R ₂ with the distance for the Casimir-Polder limit of large distances in comparison with the wave-length of atom transitions (E.A. Power and T. Thirunamachandran, Phys. Rev. A 51, 3660 (1995)). It is shown that such a dependence, obtained with the help of perturbation technique, results in a divergence for the interaction potential between an excited atom and a medium of dilute gas. We develop a nonperturbative method based upon quantum Green’s functions (Yu. Sherkunov, Phys. Rev. A 72, 052703 (2005)) to calculate the interaction potential for an excited atom and a ground-state atom embedded in a dielectric medium, taking into account the absorption of photons in the dielectric medium. The exponential suppression of the interaction between the atoms is demonstrated. The force acting on an excited atom near the interface of dilute gas medium is calculated. The result is no more divergent. The force between gas media in Casimir-Polder regime is calculated as well. The text was submitted by the author in English.     

Atomic scatterin G by a resonant standing light wave

The theory of atomic scattering by a resonant standing light wave is developed. It is shown that, if the natural width of atomic transition is larger than the recoil energy and the interaction time exeeds the spontaneous decay time, the atomic motion is described by the kinetic equation for atomic distribution function. The latter is a Fokker-Planck type equation and includes the light pressure force and momentum diffusion tensor. It is found that in a strong wave the maximum value of the force is limited, whereas the diffusion tensor increases proportional to wave intensity. It is concluded that for high intensities of a standing wave, it is the atomic momentum diffusion that is responsible for scattering.
