分子尺度不对称体系中热噪声引发的单向输运

不对称体系中的单向输运现象广泛存在于自然界中,宏观理论认为,体系的空间反演不对称性和有一定自相关时间的外加振动是引发单向运动的两个必要条件,因而一般认为,在分子尺度的不对称体系中,仅有热噪声也还是不会引发单向运动的。随着实验技术和计算手段的发展,有迹象表明,在分子尺度的不对称体系中,即使没有外加振动也会有单向运动产生。文章介绍在分子尺度由体系热噪声引发的不对称体系中,单向输运的理论进展,以及产生这种单向输运的条件。

Femto-Newton light force measurement at the thermal noise limit

The measurement of very small light forces has wide applications in many fields of physics. A common measurement method for small force detection is the determination of changes in the dynamic behavior of mechanical oscillators, either in amplitude or in frequency. The detection of slowly varying forces mostly requires long period oscillators, such as a torsion pendulum. We demonstrate the application of a macroscopic, low-noise, torsion balance oscillator for the detection of radiation pressure forces at the femto-Newton level. The system is "precooled" (removing excess seimic noise) to be only thermal noise limited. The demonstrated force sensitivity reaches the thermal limit.     

关联噪声驱动的非对称双稳系统的随机共振

运用统一色噪声近似理论和两态模型理论,研究了周期矩形信号和关联的乘性色噪声和加性白噪声驱动的非对称双稳系统的随机共振现象,得到了适合信号任意幅值的信噪比表达式.信噪比是乘性噪声强度、加性噪声强度、乘性噪声自关联时间、噪声耦合强度的非单调函数,所以该双稳系统中出现了随机共振.同时,调节加性噪声强度比调节乘性噪声强度更容易产生随机共振.势阱静态非对称性和噪声之间的耦合强度对信噪比的影响是不同的. 关键词： 非对称双稳系统 随机共振 信噪比 周期矩形信号

Dynamics of quantum discord in a two-qubit system under classical noise

We study the quantum discord dynamics of two noninteracting qubits that are, respectively, subject to classical noise. The results show that the dynamics of quantum discord are dependent on both the coupling between the qubits and classical noise, and the average switching rate of the classical noise. In the weak-coupling Markovian region, quantum discord exhibits exponent decay without revival, and can be well protected by increasing the average classical noise switching rate. While in the strong-coupling non-Markovian region, quantum discord reveals slowly decayed oscillations with quick revival by decreasing the average switching rate of the classical noise. Thus, our results provide a new method of protecting quantum discord in a two-qubit system by controlling the coupling between the qubits and classical noise, and the average switching rate of the classical noise.     

Quantum error correction in spatially correlated quantum noise

We consider quantum error correction of quantum noise that is created by a local interaction of qubits with a common bosonic bath. The possible exchange of bath bosons between qubits gives rise to spatial and temporal correlations in the noise. We find that these kinds of noise correlations have a strong negative impact on quantum error correction.     

Correlated effects of noise on symmetry of an asymmetric bistable system

The effects of correlation between additive and multiplicative noises on the symmetry of an asymmetric bistable system are investigated. The steady-state probability distribution function of the system was calculated by using analytical and numerical methods. Results indicate that i) for the case of positive correlation between noises, as the correlation strength between additive and multiplicative noises, λ, increases, the symmetry of the system is restored; ii) for the case of negative correlation between noises, as the absolute value of λ increases, the symmetry of the system is destroyed; and iii) the analytic prediction agrees well with the stochastic simulation result.     

由加性和乘性噪声驱动的非对称双稳系统的随机共振

根据信噪比理论，研究了由乘性和加性白噪声以及周期矩形信号共同作用的非对称双稳系统的随机共振。推导出了信噪比的解析表达式，并且该表达式适用于任意的信号振幅。数值分析表明乘性噪声强度D和加性噪声强度α对信噪比的影响是不同的：对应于任意的一个非对称系数r的值，SNR-α 曲线比SNR-D曲线更容易出现随机共振。即当系统的双阱不是很不对称的时候，改变加性噪声比改变乘性噪声更容易产生随机共振。此外，势井的非对称性能够减小信噪比。

Mean first-passage time of an asymmetric bistable system driven by colour-correlated noise

In this paper, the effect of every parameter (including p, q, r, \la, \tau) on the mean first-passage time (MFPT) is investigated in an asymmetric bistable system driven by colour-correlated noise. The expression of MFPT has been obtained by applying the steepest-descent approximation. Numerical results show that (1) the intensity of multiplicative noise p and the intensity of additive noise q play different roles in the MFPT of the system, (2) suppression appears on the curve of the MFPT with small \la (e.g. \la<0.5) but there is a peak on the curve of the MFPT when \la is big (e.g. \la >0.5), and (3) with different values of r (e.g. r=0.1, 0.5, 1.5), the effort of \tau on the MFPT is diverse.     

Exact results for the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation with spatially correlated noise

We investigate the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation in d spatial dimensions with Gaussian spatially long-range correlated noise -- characterized by its second moment -- by means of dynamic field theory and the renormalization group. Using a stochastic Cole-Hopf transformation we derive exact exponents and scaling functions for the roughening transition and the smooth phase above the lower critical dimension . Below the lower critical dimension, there is a line marking the stability boundary between the short-range and long-range noise fixed points. For , the general structure of the renormalization-group equations fixes the values of the dynamic and roughness exponents exactly, whereas above , one has to rely on some perturbational techniques. We discuss the location of this stability boundary in light of the exact results derived in this paper, and from results known in the literature. In particular, we conjecture that there might be two qualitatively different strong-coupling phases above and below the lower critical dimension, respectively. Received 5 August 1998     

Stochastic resonance induced by bounded noise and periodic signal in an asymmetric bistable system

Stochastic resonance (SR) induced by the bounded noise in an asymmetric bistable system is investigated. Based on stochastic simulation, the signal power amplification SPA$SPA$ is derived for the case of the additive modulated signal. The simulation results indicate that: (1) the SR phenomenon is weakened by the asymmetry of the system; (2) increasing the frequency ω$\omega$ restricts the SR of the system; (3) there is an optimum value of amplitude A$A$ matching the strongest SR phenomenon.     

Radiation noise in a three-mirror system

The effect of noise on the output parameters of a three-mirror system is investigated under the conditions when one of the cavities is filled with an amplifying medium and the other is empty. For weak coupling between the cavities, the amplitude noise at the outlet of the empty cavity decreases sharply, and the emission band becomes narrower than the natural bandwidth. Expressions are given for analyzing a more general problem on the statistical characteristics of laser radiation emitted by the three-mirror system with a weak noise.     

Moment Lyapunov exponents of a two-dimensional system under bounded noise parametric excitation

The moment Lyapunov exponents of a two-dimensional system under bounded noise parametric excitation are studied in this paper. The method of regular perturbation is applied to obtain weak noise expansions of the moment Lyapunov exponent, Lyapunov exponent, and stability index in terms of the small fluctuation parameter.     

Influence of non-Gaussian noise on a tumor growth system under immune surveillance

In this paper, the stationary probability distribution (SPD) function and the mean first passage time (MFPT) are investigated in a tumor growth model driven by non-Gaussian noise which is introduced to mimic random fluctuations in the levels of the immune system. Results demonstrate the different transitions induced by the strength of non-Gaussian noise under different immune coefficients and the dual roles of non-Gaussian noise in promoting host protection against cancer and in facilitating tumor escape from immune destruction. Additionally, it can be discovered that increases in noise strength, the degree of departure from Gaussian noise, and the immune coefficient can accelerate the extinction of tumor cells. Numerical simulations are performed, and their results present good agreement with the theoretical results.     

Effects of correlation time between noises on the noise enhanced stability phenomenon in an asymmetric bistable system

The effects of the correlation time τ between noises on the noise-enhanced stability (NES) phenomenon in an asymmetric bistable system driven by cross-correlated noise are investigated. The expressions for the average escape time from the left metastable state T_L and from the right metastable state T_Rare derived. The results indicate that: i) The NES effect is suppressed as the correlation time τ increases for two metastable states; ii) The increase in τ speeds up the escape process from the right state for positively correlated noise, whereas its role is reverses for negatively correlated; iii) In the escape process from the left state, the role of τ is opposite to that in escape from the right state.     

Quantifying non-classical correlations under thermal effects in a double cavity optomechanical system

We investigate the generation of quantum correlations between mechanical modes and optical modes in an optomechanical system,using the rotating wave approximation.The system is composed of two Fabry-Perot cavities separated in space;each of the two cavities has a movable end-mirror.Our aim is the evaluation of entanglement between mechanical modes and optical modes,generated by correlations transfer from the squeezed light to the system,using Gaussian intrinsic entanglement as a witness of entanglement in continuous variables Gaussian states,and the quantification of the degree of mixedness of the Gaussian states using the purity.Then,we quantify nonclassical correlations between mechanical modes and optical modes even beyond entanglement by considering Gaussian geometric discord via the Hellinger distance.Indeed,entanglement,mixdness,and quantum discord are analyzed as a function of the parameters characterizing the system(thermal bath temperature,squeezing parameter,and optomechanical cooperativity).We find that,under thermal effect,when entanglement vanishes,purity and quantum discord remain nonzero.Remarkably,the Gaussian Hellinger discord is more robust than entanglement.The effects of the other parameters are discussed in detail.
