Entanglement Between a Single Two-Level Atom and Quantum Systems of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-Level Atoms in the Presence of an External Classical Field

We study a single two-level atom interacting with quantum systems of N-level atoms in the presence of an external classical field. We obtain an analytic solution under a specified condition. Then we determine the time-dependent wave function through the evolution operator and employ the wave function obtained for careful investigation of the temporal evolution of the atomic inversion and linear entropy, where the influence of the external classical field is examined. Our study of the linear entropy shows that the system is almost in a mixed state, and the maximum value of entanglement occurs through the linear entropy. Furthermore, we examine the variance squeezing and entropy squeezing for different values of the external classical field parameter, which leads to different observations of the squeezing in the quadratures. In particular, it leads to an increase in the amount of squeezing for all quadratures, as well as the squeezing period.     

Propagator of a Charged Particle with a Spin in Uniform Magnetic and Perpendicular Electric Fields

We construct an explicit solution of the Cauchy initial value problem for the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for a charged particle with a spin moving in a uniform magnetic field and a perpendicular electric field varying with time. The corresponding Green function (propagator) is given in terms of elementary functions and certain integrals of the fields with a characteristic function, which should be found as an analytic or numerical solution of the equation of motion for the classical oscillator with a time-dependent frequency. We discuss a particular solution of a related nonlinear Schrödinger equation and some special and limiting cases are outlined.     

Elementary applications of quantum-electrokinematics theorem

Summary A preceding quantum-electrokinematics theorem obtained directly from the equations of Maxwell and of Schr?dinger-Pauli, connects, by means of an arbitrary irrotational vector fieldF the wave function of a many-particle system, the internal scalar and vector potentials and the electric permittivity, with the current density and scalar potential, or voltage, on the surface of the system itself. In particular it shows the role of the current due to the particle spin. By means of proper choices ofF, it can be used to find old and new relations and results which, in general, would be harder to get by other methods. In the present work the theorem is used to compute a new expression of the output current of cylindrical two-terminal devices which, in its turn, is applied to a few elementary cases relevant to a single particle. They concern bounded systems, in stationary state, and the drift and spin currents, in non-stationary states, of a free electron and of an electron in a uniform and constant magnetic field. We obtain that a bounded electron cannot induce current at the output terminals and that, in more general terms, the results given by the new approach in the case of ?small? sizes of the system, are very different from those obtained by means of the classical electrodynamics, whereas, as has to happen according to the classical limit principle, they tend to coincide for ?great? sizes of the system itself. So, a not well-defined value of the spin component along the motion axis of a free electron generates a time-dependent fluctuation of the current proportional to its steady value. In the presence of a homogenous magnetic field, rather, the electron spin and its not well-defined value can generate steady and time-dependent contributions of the current, respectively. We also find that the spin acts on the current partition between two contiguous surfaces. The proposed applications, even they are elementary, can have interest because many phenomena in many-particle systems can be reduced to deal with the motion of a single particle.     

Imprints of the Quantum World in Classical Mechanics

The imprints left by quantum mechanics in classical (Hamiltonian) mechanics are much more numerous than is usually believed. We show that the Schrödinger equation for a nonrelativistic spinless particle is a classical equation which is equivalent to Hamilton’s equations. Our discussion is quite general, and incorporates time-dependent systems. This gives us the opportunity of discussing the group of Hamiltonian canonical transformations which is a non-linear variant of the usual symplectic group.     

Generating of squeezed atom laser via stimulated Raman transition

We present a scheme to generate a squeezed atom laser via stimulated Raman transition of the atoms in Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) interacting with two light beams, including a weaker squeezed coherent probe light and a stronger classical pump light. The results show that the quantum fluctuation of this atom laser can be periodically squeezed. The squeezing depth of such atom laser is determined by the initial squeezing factor of the probe light, and the squeezing period of that is related to the mean number of atoms in the trap, the strength of interaction between squeezing light and BEC atoms, and the detuning of the light.     

Effects of barrier fluctuation on the tunneling dynamics in the presence of classical chaos in a mixed quantum-classical system

We present a numerical investigation of the tunneling dynamics of a particle moving in a bistable potential with fluctuating barrier which is coupled to a non-integrable classical system and study the interplay between classical chaos and barrier fluctuation in the tunneling dynamics. We found that the coupling of the quantum system with the classical subsystem decreases the tunneling rate irrespective of whether the classical subsystem is regular or chaotic and also irrespective of the fact that whether the barrier fluctuates or not. Presence of classical chaos always enhances the tunneling rate constant. The effect of barrier fluctuation on the tunneling rate in a mixed quantum-classical system is to suppress the tunneling rate. In contrast to the case of regular subsystem, the suppression arising due to barrier fluctuation is more visible when the subsystem is chaotic.      

Exact solution to the classical equation of motion for a charged particle in external electric and magnetic fields

An exact solution to the equation of classical motion of a charged particle in external uniform time-dependent electric and magnetic fields is obtained in two forms by two methods. An exact solution of a more general initial-value problem is found as well.     

The symmetry group of the quantum harmonic oscillator in an electric field

In this paper we present two results. First, we derive the most general group of infinitesimal transformations for the Schrödinger Equation of the general time-dependent Harmonic Oscillator in an electric field. The infinitesimal generators and the commutation rules of this group are presented and the group structure is identified. From here it is easy to construct a set of unitary operators that transform the general Hamiltonian to a much simpler form. The relationship between squeezing and dynamical symmetries is also stressed. The second result concerns the application of these group transformations to obtain solutions of the Schrödinger equation in a time-dependent potential. These solutions are believed to be useful for describing particles confined in boxes with moving boundaries. The motion of the walls is indeed governed by the time-dependent frequency function. The applications of these results to non-rigid quantum dots and tunnelling through fluctuating barriers is also discussed, both in the presence and in the absence of a time-dependent electric field. The differences and similarities between both cases are pointed out.     

Thermodynamics of a colloidal particle in a time-dependent nonharmonic potential

We study the motion of an overdamped colloidal particle in a time-dependent nonharmonic potential. We demonstrate the first lawlike balance between applied work, exchanged heat, and internal energy on the level of a single trajectory. The observed distribution of applied work is distinctly non-Gaussian in good agreement with numerical calculations. Both the Jarzynski relation and a detailed fluctuation theorem are verified with good accuracy.

Einstein——Podolsky——Rosen entanglement in time-dependent periodic pumping non-degenerate optical parametric amplifier

The solution of the time-dependent periodic pumping non-degenerate optical parametric amplifier (NOPA) is derived when the pump depletion is considered both above and below thresholds. Based on this solution, the quantum fluctuation calculated shows that a high entanglement and a good squeezing degree of the parametric light beams are achieved near and above thresholds. We adopt two kinds of pump fields: (i) a continuously modulated pump with a sinusoidal envelope; (ii) a sequence of laser pulses with Gaussian envelopes. We analyse the time evolution of continuous variable entanglement by analytical and numerical calculations, and show that the periodic driven pumping also improves the degree of entanglement. The squeezing and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) entanglement by using the two pumping driven functions are investigated from below to above the threshold regions, the tendencies are nearly the same, and the Gaussian driven function is superior to that of the sine driven function, when the maximum squeezing and the minimum variance of quantum fluctuation are considered. In the meantime, the generalization of frequency degenerate OPA to frequency non-degenerated OPA problem is investigated.     

Exact treatment of the Jaynes–Cummings model under the action of an external classical field

We consider the usual Jaynes–Cummings model (JCM), in the presence of an external classical field. Under a certain canonical transformation for the Pauli operators, the system is transformed into the usual JCM. Using the equations of motion in the Heisenberg picture, exact solutions for the time-dependent dynamical operators are obtained. In order to calculate the expectation values of these operators, the wave function has been constructed. It has been shown that the classical field augments the atomic frequency ω₀ and mixes the original atomic states. Changes of squeezing from one quadrature to another is also observed for a strong value of the coupling parameter of the classical field. Furthermore, the system in this case displays partial entanglement and the state of the field losses its purity.     

Storage of spin squeezing in a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate

A simple scheme for storage of spin squeezing in a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate is investigated by considering rapidly turning-off the external field at a time that maximal spin squeezing occurs. We show that strong reduction of spin fluctuation can be maintained in a nearly fixed direction. We explain the underlying physics using the phase model and present analytical expressions of the maximal-squeezing time and the corresponding squeezing parameter.

Spin Squeezing and Fixed-Point Bifurcation

We study spin squeezing and classical bifurcation in a nonlinear bipartite system. We show that the spin squeezing can be associated with a fixed-point bifurcation in the classical dynamics, namely, it acts as an indicator of the classical bifurcation. For the ground state of a system with coupled giant spins, we find that the spin squeezing achieves its minimum value near the bifurcation point. We also study the dynamics of the spin squeezing, for an initial state corresponding to one of the fixed point, we find that in the stable regime, the spin squeezing exhibits periodic oscillation and always persists except at some fixed times, while in the unstable regime, the periodic oscillation phenomenon disappears and the spin squeezing survives for a short time. Finally, we show that the mean spin squeezing, which is defined to be averaged over time, attains its minimum value near the bifurcation point.

Squeezing and Quantum Canonical Transformations

In this paper we present an approach to quantum mechanical canonical transformations. Our main result is that time-dependent quantum canonical transformations can always be cast in the form of squeezing operators. We revise the main properties of these operators in regard to its Lie group properties, how two of them can be combined to yield another operator of the same class and how can also be decomposed and fragmented. In the second part of the paper we show how this procedure works extremely well for the time-dependent quantum harmonic oscillator. The issue of the systematic construction of quantum canonical transformations is also discussed along the lines of Dirac, Wigner, and Schwinger ideas and to the more recent work by Lee. The main conclusion is that the classical phase space transformation can be maintained in the operator formalism but the construction of the quantum canonical transformation is not clearly related to the classical generating function of a classical canonical transformation. We hereby propose the much more efficient method given by the squeezing operators. This method has also been proved to be very useful, by one of the authors, in the framework of the dynamical symmetries (Cerveró, J. M. (1999). International Journal of Theoretical Physics 38, 2095–2109).     

Long-time behavior of field fluctuation in theM-photon Jaynes-Cummings model

In this paper we study the field fluctuation in theM-photon Jaynes-Cummings model. We present the general expression for the field fluctuation and put emphasis on the long time behavior. We find that the field squeezing seems to appear periodically for even-photon processes, but only exists in the initial short time for odd-photon processes. We also find that the field fluctuation shows collapse-revival-like phenomena in the long-time and nosqueezing region for odd-photon processes.Mailing address
