This paper solves the newly constructed nonlinear master equation dρ/dt=κ[2f (N) aρ (1/f (N-1))a+-a+aρ-ρa+a],where f(N) is an operator-valued function of N=a+a,for describing amplitude damping channel,and derives the infinite operator sum representation of quasi-Kraus operators for the density operator.It also shows that in this nonlinear process the initial pure number state density operator will evolve into the binomial field (a mixed state) when f (N)=1/(N+1)～(1/2).     

Correspondence Between the Operational Element of an Amplitude Damping Harmonic Oscillator to the Kraus Operator of the Master Equation for Dissipation

We find the correspondence between the operational element of an amplitude damping harmonic oscillator and the Kraus operator solution to the master equation for dissipation. This reveals the equivalence between the two approaches to tackling the dissipation of oscillator-reservoir: one is solving the Kraus operator of the master equation, and the other is deriving the operational element of time evolution operator in the reservoir mode.     

Dynamics of Quantum Entanglement in Reservoir with Memory Effects

The non-Markovian dynamics of quantum entanglement is studied by the Shabani-Lidar master equation when one of entangled quantum systems is coupled to a local reservoir with memory effects.The completely positive reduced dynamical map can be constructed in the Kraus representation.Quantum entanglement decays more slowly in the non-Markovian environment.The decoherence time for quantum entanglement can be markedly increased with the change of the memory kernel.It is found out that the entanglement sudden death between quantum systems and entanglement sudden birth between the system and reservoir occur at different instants.     

Nakajima-Zwanzig and Time-Convolutionless Master Equations for a One-Qubit System in a Non-Markovian Layered Environment

Quantum operations, are completely positive (CP) and trace preserving (TP) maps on quantum states, and can be represented by operator-sum or Kraus representations. In this paper, we calculate operator-sum representation and master equation of one-qubit open quantum system in layered environment which is a generalized spin star model. The Nakajima-Zwanzig and time-convolutionless projection operators technique are applied for deriving the master equations. Finally, a simple example will be studied to consider the relation between completely positive maps and initial quantum correlation and show that vanishing quantum discord is not necessary for CP maps.     

Evolution law of a negative binomial state in an amplitude dissipative channel

For the first time we derive the evolution law of the negative binomial state In） （nI in an ampli-tude dissipative channel with a damping constant to. We find that after passing through the channel, the final state is still a negative binomial state, however the parameter γ evolves into The decay law of theaverage photon number is also obtained.     

Entropy evolution law in a laser process

For the first time, we obtain the entropy variation law in a laser process after finding the Kraus operator of the master equation describing the laser process with the use of the entangled state representation. The behavior of entropy is determined by the competition of the gain and damping in the laser process. The evolution formula for the number of photons is also obtained.     

Kraus representation for the density operator of a qubit

We show that the time evolution of the density operator of a qubit can always be described in terms of the Kraus representation. A general scheme on how to construct the Kraus operators for an open qubit system is proposed, which can be generalized to open higher dimensional quantum systems.     

Kraus Operator-Sum Solution to the Master Equation Describing the Single-Mode Cavity Driven by an Oscillating External Field in the Heat Reservoir

Exploiting the thermo entangled state approach, we successfully solve the master equation for describing the single-mode cavity driven by an oscillating external field in the heat reservoir and then get the analytical time-evolution rule for the density operator in the infinitive Kraus operator-sum representation. It is worth noting that the Kraus operator M _{l, m} is proved to be a trace-preserving quantum operation. As an application, the time-evolution for an initial coherent state ρ _|β〉 = |β〉〈β| in such an environment is investigated, which shows that the initial coherent state decays to a new mixed state as a result of thermal noise, however the coherence can still be reserved for amplitude damping.     

Deformation of Superoperator's Kraus Representation Derived by Weyl Correspondence and Entangled State Representation

By virtue of the Weyl correspondence and based on the the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators, we show under what condition the superoperator's Kraus representation ρ^ˊ=∑_μ A_μρA_μ^† can be deformed as ρ^ˊ=(1/π)∫d²αB(α)D(α)ρD^†(α), where D(α) is the displacement operator, B(α) is a probability density related to the classical Weyl correspondence of A_μ. An alternate discussion by using the entangled state representation and through a quantum teleportation process is also presented.     

Infinite-dimensional Kraus operators for describing amplitude-damping channel and laser process

Based on the preceding Communication (Hong-yi Fan, Li-yun Hu, Opt. Commun. 281 (2008) 5571) we identify the explicit infinite-dimensional Kraus operators for describing amplitude-damping channel and for laser process, the normalization of Kraus operators are proved. The evolution of an initial pure coherent state into a mixed state in the laser process is clearly shown by virtue of the explicit operator-sum representation of the Kraus operator.     

Infinite-Dimensional Kraus Operators for Describing a Thermal Channel with Self-Kerr Interaction

According to operator-sum representation theory, we have identified infinite-dimensional Kraus operators for describing a thermal channel with self-Kerr interaction after directly solving the corresponding master equation by virtue of thermo entangled state. Then we also prove in detail that Kraus operators hold the normalization. As an example, we exactly calculate the evolving result of a chaotic field in the thermal environment with the Kerr medium and find that the chaotic field evolves into a new chaotic field unaffected by the coupling factor with the Kerr medium.     

A study of two-dimensional models

We investigate the (1+1) dimensional Rothe Stamatescu (RS) and Thirring models. A functional integral method based on a chiral change of fermionic variables is used to obtain the general class of solutions in the RS model. The results are then reproduced in an operator formalism. Finally a connection of the solutions with perturbation theory is briefly discussed. The functional method is then applied to reproduce the familiar one parameter class of solutions existing in the Thirring model. An operator fit differing from the standard ones is proposed which is consistent with the solutions obtained by the path integral approach.     

Deformation of Superoperator＇s Kraus Representation Derived by Weyl Correspondence and Entangled State Representation

By virtue of the Weyl correspondence and based on the the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators, we show under what condition the superoperator＇s Kraus representation p^1=∑μAμpA^＋μ can be deformed as p＇= （1/π） ∫ d^2d^2α（α）D（α）D（α）pD^＋（α）, where D（α） is the displacement operator, B（α） is a probability density related to the classical Weyl correspondence of Aμ. An alternate discussion by using the entangled state representation and through a quantum teleportation process is also presented.     

Infinitive Operator-Sum Representation for Damping in a Squeezed Heat Reservoir via the Thermo Entangled State Approach

Using the thermo entangled state approach, we successfully solve the master equation of a damped harmonic oscillator affected by a linear resonance force in a squeezed heat reservoir, and obtain the analytical evolution formula for the density operator in the infinitive Kraus operator-sum representation. Interestingly, the Kraus operators M_l,m,n,r and \(\mathfrak {M}_{l,m,n,r}^{\dag }\) are not Hermite conjugate, but they are still trace-preserving quantum operations because of the normalization condition. We also investigate the evolution for an initial coherent state for damping in a squeezed heat reservoir, which shows that the initial coherent state decays to a complex mixed state as a result of damping and thermal noise.     

Non-Markovian dynamics of a qubit in a reservoir: different solutions of non-Markovian master equation

We present a non-Markovian master equation for a qubit interacting with a general reservoir, which is derived according to the Nakajima-Zwanzig and the time convolutionless projection operator technique. The non-Markovian solutions and Markovian solution of dynamical decay of a qubit are compared. The results indicate the validity of non-Markovian approach in different coupling regimes and also show that the Markovian master equation may not precisely describe the dynamics of an open quantum system in some situation. The non-Markovian solutions may be effective for many qubits independently interacting with the heated reservoirs.     

Coherent interaction of a single fermion with a small bosonic field

We have experimentally studied few-body impurity systems consisting of a single fermionic atom and a small bosonic field on the sites of an optical lattice. Quantum phase revival spectroscopy has allowed us to accurately measure the absolute strength of Bose-Fermi interactions as a function of the interspecies scattering length. Furthermore, we observe the modification of Bose-Bose interactions that is induced by the interacting fermion. Because of an interference between Bose-Bose and Bose-Fermi phase dynamics, we can infer the mean fermionic filling of the mixture and quantify its increase (decrease) when the lattice is loaded with attractive (repulsive) interspecies interactions.     

Divergence of fermionic correlations under non-Markovian noise in a non-inertial frame

Non-Markovian dynamics of correlations of fermionic systems is investigated beyond the single-mode approximations in a non-inertial frame. Two well known correlation measures, quantum discord and geometric quantum discord, are analyzed for the fermionic states influenced by the non-Markovian noise. Persistence of discord is seen for longer times depending upon the level of mixedness of the fermionic system. The dynamics of the fermionic systems heavily depends upon the degree of white noise. It is shown that fermionic systems remain dependent upon the choice of Unruh modes (_qR$q_R$) beyond the single-mode approximations under non-Markovian noise. Quantum discord is found to be more robust as compared to the geometric quantum discord. Furthermore, the non-Markovian effects are more stronger than the acceleration of Bob, the accelerated partner.     

Critical String Wave Equations and the QCD(U(Nc)) String. (Some Comments)

We present a simple proof that self-avoiding fermionic strings solutions solve formally (in a Quantum Mechanical Framework) the QCD(U(N _c )) Loop Wave Equation written in terms of random loops.     

Auxiliary Field Functional Integral Representation of the Many-Body Evolution Operator

Finding an appropriate functional integral representation of the many-body evolution operator is a crucial task for performing efficient calculations of fermionic systems within the auxiliary field approach. In this paper we derive a new field representation of the imaginary-time evolution operator using the method of Gaussian equivalent representation of Efimov and Ganbold (1991, Physica Status Solidi 168, 165). The goal is to obtain a functional integral representation, in which the main divergences caused by the tadpole Feynman diagrams are efficiently eliminated. These diagrams provide the main contributions to the ground state of the system under consideration, and therefore it is important to take them into account adequately, especially at lower temperatures. In addition, we show that the well-known mean field representation of the imaginary-time evolution operator is only the limiting case of the Gaussian equivalent representation in the small time-step regime.
