Kraus operator solutions to a fermionic master equation describing a thermal bath and their matrix representation

We solve the fermionic master equation for a thermal bath to obtain its explicit Kraus operator solutions via the fermionic state approach. The normalization condition of the Kraus operators is proved. The matrix representation for these solutions is obtained, which is incongruous with the result in the book completed by Nielsen and Chuang [Quantum Computation and Quantum Information, Cambridge University Press, 2000]. As especial cases, we also present the Kraus operator solutions to master equations for describing the amplitude-decay model and the diffusion process at finite temperature.

New operator identities with regard to the two-variable Hermite polynomial by virtue of entangled state representation

By virtue of the entangled state representation we concisely derive some new operator identities with regard to the two-variable Hermite polynomial （TVHP）. By them and the technique of integration within an ordered product （IWOP） of operators we further derive new generating function formulas of the TVHP. They are useful in quantum optical theoretical calculations. It is seen from this work that by combining the IWOP technique and quantum mechanical representations one can derive some new integration formulas even without really performing the integration.     

利用热纠缠态表象获得Caldeira-Leggett密度算符方程的积分形式解

开放量子系统,即系统-热库模型,可以用一个关于密度算符的主方程来描述,比如,用来描述固态物理中耗散现象的Caldeira.Leggett主方程.虽然已经有人为了求解此主方程的约化密度矩阵的精确表达式而做过一些努力,但迄今还未见有解答.本文使用了一种全新的方法来求解Caldeira-Leggett方程,用这个新方法可以得到积分形式的显式表达.该方法的要点在于利用有序算符内积分技术把关于密度算符的微分方程首先转化成关于密度态矢量的微分方程,再将密度态矢量投影到热纠缠态表象中,Caldeira-Leggett方程就转变成了关于波函数的微分方程,而波函数是函数.这样就可以使用数学中求解微分方程的方法来求解出波函数.再次利用有序算符内积分技术,再将波函数转化为态矢量和算符,就得到了Caldeira-Leggett方程的积分形势解.     

New approach for analysing master equations of generalized phase diffusion models in the entangled state representation

By virtue of the well-behaved properties of the bipartite entangled states representation, this paper analyse and solves some master equations for generalized phase diffusion models, which seems concise and effective. This method can also be applied to solve other master equations.     

A new finite-dimensional pair coherent state studied by virtue of the entangled state representation and its statistical behavior

In this paper we construct a new type of finite-dimensional pair coherent states |ξ, q〉 as realizations of SU(2) Lie algebra. Using the technique of integration within an ordered product of operator, the nonorthogonality and completeness properties of the state |ξ, q〉 are investigated. Based on the Wigner operator in the entangled state |τ〉 representation, the Wigner function of |ξ, q〉 is obtained. The properties of |ξ, q〉 are discussed in terms of the negativity of its Wigner function. The tomogram of |ξ, q〉 is calculated with the aid of the Radon transform between the Wigner operator and the projection operator of the entangled state |η, κ₁, κ₂〉. In addition, using the entangled state |τ〉 representation of |ξ, q〉 to show that the states |ξ, q〉 are just a set of energy eigenstates of time-independent two coupled oscillators.     

An asymptotic expansion of the nonlinear master equation

Recently, a nonlinear master equation has been suggested to account for the effect of diffusion in the fluctuations of nonlinear systems away from equilibrium. An asymptotic expansion of the solutions of this master equation in the inverse of the diffusion constant is presented. The applicability of the method is illustrated with several examples of model chemical reactions.     

Single-mode quadrature-amplitude measurement for generalized two-mode squeezed states studied by virtue of the entangled state representation

The result of one-mode quadrature-amplitude measurement for some generalized two-mode squeezed states has been studied by virtue of the entangled state representation of the corresponding two-mode squeezing operators. We find that the remaining field-mode simultaneously collapses to the single-mode squeezed state with more stronger squeezing. The measurement result caused by a single-mode squeezed state projector is also calculated, which indicates quantum entanglement in squeezing.

Quantum mechanical photoncount formula derived by entangled state representation

By introducing the thermo entangled state representation,we derive four new photocount distribution formulas for a given light field density operator.It is shown that these new formulas,which are convenient to calculate the photocount,can be expressed as integrations over a Laguerre-Gaussian function with a characteristic function,Wigner function,Q-function and P-function,respectively.     

Nonlinear two-mode squeezing obtained by analysing two-mode exponential quadrature operators in entangled state representation

By analysing the properties of two-mode quadratures in an entangled state representation (ESR) we derive from ESR some complicated exponential quadrature operators for nonlinear two-mode squeezing, which directly leads to wave function of the nonlinear squeezed state in ESR.     

A new bipartite entangled state describing the parametric down-conversion process and its applications in quantum optics

We construct a new bipartite entangled state(NBES),which describes both the squeezing and the entanglement involved in the parametric down-conversion process and can be produced using a symmetric beam splitter.Constructing asymmetric ket-bra integrations based on the NBES leads to some new squeezing operators,which clearly exhibit the relationships between squeezing and entangled state transformations.Moreover,an entangled Wigner operator with a definite physical meaning is also presented.     

A generalized tripartite scheme for splitting an arbitrary 2-qubit state with three 2-qubit partially entangled states and the Kraus measurement

We put forward a generalized tripartite scheme for splitting an arbitrary 2-qubit pure state with three 2-qubit non-maximally en-tangled states as quantum channels.The scheme for the first time incorporates the Kraus measurement into quantum information splitting scheme.In contrast to the similar scheme using the same quantum channels and the ancilla-entangled measurement,our scheme is superior in terms of operation and complexity,success probability,resource consumption and effciency.

Master equation describing the diffusion process for a coherent state

The evolution of a pure coherent state into a chaotic state is described very well by a master equation, as is validated via an examination of the coherent state＇s evolution during the diffusion process, fully utilizing the technique of integration within an ordered product （IWOP） of operators. The same equation also describes a limitation that maintains the coherence in a weak diffusion process, i.e., when the dissipation is very weak and the initial average photon number is large. This equation is dp/dt = -κ[a＋ap -a＋pa -apa＋ ＋ paa＋]. The physical difference between this diffusion equation and the better-known amplitude damping master equation is pointed out.     

Squeeze-swapping by Bell measurement studied in terms of the entangled state representation

By virtue of the entangled state representation(Hong-Yi Fan and J R Klauder 1994 Phys.Rev.A 49 704) and the two-mode squeezing operator’s natural representation(Hong-Yi Fan and Yue Fan 1996 Phys.Rev.A 54 958) we propose the squeeze-swapping mechanism which can generate quantum entanglement and new squeezed states of continuum variables.

Photon-number distribution of two-mode squeezed thermal states by entangled state representation

Using the entangled state representation, we convert a two-mode squeezed number state to a Hermite polynomial excited squeezed vacuum state. We first analytically derive the photon number distribution of the two-mode squeezed thermal states. It is found that it is a Jacobi polynomial; a remarkable result. This result can be directly applied to obtaining the photon number distribution of non-Gaussian states generated by subtracting from (adding to) two-mode squeezed thermal states.     

Reduced dynamics and the master equation of open quantum systems

An exact reduced density operator of a quantum system interacting with a bosonic thermal reservoir is derived by means of the simple algebraic method. The necessary and sufficient condition is found that the time-convolutionless master equation becomes exact up to the second order with respect to the system-reservoir interaction. The result is examined by means of the boson-detector model. The reduced dynamics of a quantum system interacting with a classical reservoir is also discussed.
