Time Evolution of Husimi Function for Photon-Added Squeezed Vacuum State in Dissipative Channel

In this paper, we determine the normalization factor of photo-added squeezed vacuum state (PASVS) as a Legendre polynomial of the squeezing parameter by virtue of principle of mathematical induction, and derive the normally ordered density operator of PASVS in dissipative channel. In addition, we also give the explicit analytical expression of Husimi function in dissipative channel and study its behavior with evolution time graphically.

Generalized irreducible memory function

In a previous paper we presented a general scheme to reduce the memory function in nonequilibrium statistical physics for purely dissipative cases with detailed balance. Here we simplify and generalize further this scheme to include cases other than purely dissipative ones. As an illustration we discuss simple dense fluids.     

Evolution of quantum states via Weyl expansion in dissipative channel

Based on the Weyl expansion representation of Wigner operator and its invariant property under similar transformation, we derived the relationship between input state and output state after a unitary transformation including Wigner function and density operator. It is shown that they can be related by a transformation matrix corresponding to the unitary evolution. In addition, for any density operator going through a dissipative channel, the evolution formula of the Wigner function is also derived. As applications, we considered further the two-mode squeezed vacuum as inputs, and obtained the resulted Wigner function and density operator within normal ordering form. Our method is clear and concise, and can be easily extended to deal with other problems involved in quantum metrology, steering, and quantum information with continuous variable.     

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.     

量子扩散通道中Wigner算符的演化规律

众所周知,量子态的演化可用与其相应的Wigner函数演化来代替.因为量子态的Wigner函数和量子态的密度矩阵一样,都包含了概率分布和相位等信息,因此对量子态的Wigner函数进行研究,可以更加快速有效地获取量子态在演化过程的重要信息.本文从经典扩散方程出发,利用密度算符的P表示,导出了量子态密度算符的扩散方程.进一步通过引入量子算符的Weyl编序记号,给出了其对应的Weyl量子化方案.另外,借助于密度算符的另一相空间表示-Wigner函数,建立了Wigner算符在扩散通道中演化方程,并给出了其Wigner算符解的形式.本文推导出了Wigner算符在量子扩散通道中的演化规律,即演化过程中任意时刻Wigner算符的形式.在此结论的基础上,讨论了相干态经过量子扩散通道的演化情况.     

Non-Gaussianity and decoherence of generalized photon-added coherent state as a Hermite-excited coherent state

Generalized photon-added coherent state (GPACS) is obtained by repeatedly acting the combination of Bose creation and annihilation operations on the coherent state. It is found that GPACS can be regarded as a Hermite-excited coherent state due to its normalization factor related to a Hermite polynomial. In addition, we adopt the Hilbert-Schmidt distance to quantify the non-Gaussian character of GPACS and discuss the decoherence of GPACS in dissipative channel by studying the loss of nonclassicality in reference of the negativity of Wigner function.     

论动态信息理论

本文综述了作者的研究成果.近十年,作者将现有静态统计信息理论拓展至动态过程,建立了以表述动态信息演化规律的动态信息演化方程为核心的动态统计信息理论.基于服从随机性规律的动力学系统(如随机动力学系统和非平衡态统计物理系统)与遵守确定性规律的动力学系统(如电动力学系统)的态变量概率密度演化方程都可看成是其信息符号演化方程,推导出了动态信息(熵)演化方程.它们表明:对于服从随机性规律的动力学系统,动态信息密度随时间的变化率是由其在系统内部的态变量空间和传递过程的坐标空间的漂移、扩散和耗损三者引起的,而动态信息熵密度随时间的变化率则是由其在系统内部的态变量空间和传递过程的坐标空间的漂移、扩散和产生三者引起的.对于遵守确定性规律的动力学系统,动态信息(熵)演化方程与前者的相比,除动态信息(熵)密度在系统内部的态变量空间仅有漂移外,其余皆相同.信息和熵已与系统的状态和变化规律结合在一起,信息扩散和信息耗损同时存在.当空间噪声可略去时,将会出现信息波.若仅研究系统内部的信息变化,动态信息演化方程就约化为与表述上述动力学系统变化规律的动力学方程相对应的信息方程,它既可看成是表述动力学系统动态信息的演化规律,亦可看成是动力学系统的变化规律都可由信息方程表述.进而给出了漂移和扩散信息流公式、信息耗散率公式和信息熵产生率公式及动力学系统退化和进化的统一信息表述公式.得到了反映信息在传递过程中耗散特性的动态互信息公式和动态信道容量公式,它们在信道长度和信号传递速度之比趋于零的极限情况下变为现有的静态互信息公式和静态信道容量公式.所有这些新的理论公式和结果都是从动态信息演化方程统一推导出的.     

Characteristic time and maximum mixedness: Single mode Gaussian states in dissipative channels

We derive an upper limit for the mixedness of single bosonic mode Gaussian states propagating in dissipative channels. It is a function of the initial squeezing and temperature of the channel only. Moreover the time at which von Neumann's entropy reaches its maximum value coincides with that of complete loss of coherence, thus defining a quantum-classical transition.     

Evolution of a two-mode squeezed vacuum for amplitude decay via continuous-variable entangled state approach

Extending the recent work completed by Fan et al. [Front. Phys. 9(1), 74 (2014)] to a two-mode case, we investigate how a two-mode squeezed vacuum evolves when it undergoes a two-mode amplitude dissipative channel, with the same decay rate κ, using the continuous-variable entangled state approach. Our analytical results show that the initial pure-squeezed vacuum state evolves into a definite mixed state with entanglement and squeezing, decaying over time as a result of amplitude decay. We also investigate the time evolutions of the photon number distribution, the Wigner function, and the optical tomogram in this channel. Our results indicate that the evolved photon number distribution is related to Jacobi polynomials, the Wigner function has a standard Gaussian distribution (corresponding to the vacuum) at long periods, losing its nonclassicality due to amplitude decay, and a larger squeezing leads to a longer decay time.     

Dissipative dynamics for hard spheres

The dynamics for a system of hard spheres with dissipative collisions is described at the levels of statistical mechanics, kinetic theory, and simulation. The Liouville operator(s) and associated binary scattering operators are defined as the generators for time evolution in phase space. The BBGKY hierarchy for reduced distribution functions is given, and an approximate kinetic equation is obtained that extends the revised Enskog theory to dissipative dynamics. A Monte Carlo simulation method to solve this equation is described, extending the Bird method to the dense, dissipative hard-sphere system. A practical kinetic model for theoretical analysis of this equation also is proposed. As an illustration of these results, the kinetic theory and the Monte Carlo simulations are applied to the homogeneous cooling state of rapid granular flow.     

A quantum chaotic clock and damping of the coherent nuclear rotation in the 28 Si +64 Ni dissipative collision

We employ the statistical reactions with memory approach to study oscillating excitation functions in the ²⁸ Si(E _lab = 120–126.75 MeV)+⁶⁴ Ni strongly dissipative reaction and the time evolution of the collision process. The nonself-averaging of the oscillations in the excitation functions is interpreted as indication of quantum chaos and damping of the coherent nuclear rotation in dissipative heavy-ion collisions.

Dissipative Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation with External Forcing in Rotational Stratified Fluids and Its Solution

The dissipative nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a forcing item is derived by using of multiple scales analysis and perturbation method as a mathematical model of describing envelope solitary Rossby waves with dissipation effect and external forcing in rotational stratified fluids. By analyzing the evolution of amplitude of envelope solitary Rossby waves, it is found that the shear of basic flow, Brunt-Vaisala frequency and β effect are important factors in forming the envelope solitary Rossby waves. By employing Jacobi elliptic function expansion method and Hirota's direct method, the analytic solutions of dissipative nonlinear Schrödinger equation and forced nonlinear Schrödinger equation are derived, respectively. With the help of these solutions, the effects of dissipation and external forcing on the evolution of envelope solitary Rossby wave are also discussed in detail. The results show that dissipation causes slowly decrease of amplitude of envelope solitary Rossby waves and slowly increase of width, while it has no effect on the propagation speed and different types of external forcing can excite the same envelope solitary Rossby waves. It is notable that dissipation and different types of external forcing have certain influence on the carrier frequency of envelope solitary Rossby waves.     

Study of nonlinear dissipative pulse propagation under the combined effect of two-photon absorption and gain dispersion: A variational approach involving Rayleigh’s dissipation function

We try to derive some explicit equations for predicting the laws which govern the evolution of different parameters of a propagating optical pulse in a nonlinear medium under the combined influence of two-photon absorption and gain dispersion. Using the generalized Euler-Lagrange equation, the dynamics of different pulse parameters are generated. The Rayleigh’s dissipation function is incorporated in order to take recourse to the dissipative part, with an analogy with the non-conservative frictional problem in classical mechanics. It appears from the study that the influence of the dissipative part can well be explained using the proposed model. The analytically predicted results are compared with the numerical data obtained from direct simulation of the Ginzburg-Landau equation and the results are found to be quite satisfactory, supporting the prediction.     

Spontaneous emission and quantum discord: Comparison of Hilbert–Schmidt and trace distance discord

Hilbert–Schmidt and trace norm geometric quantum discord are compared with regard to their behavior during local time evolution. We consider the system of independent two-level atoms with time evolution given by the dissipative process of spontaneous emission. It is explicitly shown that the Hilbert–Schmidt norm discord has nonphysical properties with respect to such local evolution and cannot serve as a reasonable measure of quantum correlations and the better choice is to use trace norm discord as such a measure.     

Kubo formulas for relativistic fluids in strong magnetic fields

Magnetohydrodynamics of strongly magnetized relativistic fluids is derived in the ideal and dissipative cases, taking into account the breaking of spatial symmetries by a quantizing magnetic field. A complete set of transport coefficients, consistent with the Curie and Onsager principles, is derived for thermal conduction, as well as shear and bulk viscosities. It is shown that in the most general case the dissipative function contains five shear viscosities, two bulk viscosities, and three thermal conductivity coefficients. We use Zubarev’s non-equilibrium statistical operator method to relate these transport coefficients to correlation functions of the equilibrium theory. The desired relations emerge at linear order in the expansion of the non-equilibrium statistical operator with respect to the gradients of relevant statistical parameters (temperature, chemical potential, and velocity.) The transport coefficients are cast in a form that can be conveniently computed using equilibrium (imaginary-time) infrared Green’s functions defined with respect to the equilibrium statistical operator.     

Dissipative quantum dynamics for systems periodic in time

A model of dissipative quantum dynamics (with a nonlinear friction term) is applied to systems periodic in time. The model is compared with the standard approaches based on the Floquet theorem. It is shown that for weak frictions the asymptotic states of the dynamics we propose are the periodic steady states which are usually postulated to be the states relevant for the statistical mechanics of time-periodic systems. A solution to the problem of nonuniqueness of the “quasienergies” is proposed. The implication of a nonlinear evolution for Ludwig's axiomatization is briefly outlined.

研究了匹配的高斯光束在加外电场的耗散型光伏光折变晶体中的动态演化及其偏转特性.结果表明，对于给定的耗散系统，若该系统能支持某一特定的耗散全息屏蔽光伏明孤子，也可能找到与之相匹配的高斯光束，则该匹配的高斯光束能在此给定的耗散系统中演化成稳定的屏蔽光伏空间孤子.同时，考察了扩散效应对此匹配的高斯光束的影响，结果显示，扩散效应将造成此匹配的高斯光束孤波在演化过程中产生偏转现象，而且其偏转过程与之相对应的明孤子的偏转过程具有极其类似的特征.通过比较研究匹配的高斯光束与耗散全息屏蔽光伏明孤子的偏转特征曲线，我们发现，对于匹配的高斯光束，其空间偏转的数值计算结果与明孤子偏转的解析计算结果非常接近.总之，在耗散系统中，匹配的高斯孤波的动态演化特性(包括偏转过程)与耗散全息屏蔽光伏明孤波的演化特性是相符合的.因此，人们往往可直接用匹配的基模高斯光束代替耗散全息屏蔽光伏明孤波，为理论分析和实验研究提供了便利.
