Perturbation Theory for Open Two-Level Nonlinear Quantum Systems

Perturbation theory is an important tool in quantum mechanics. In this paper, we extend the traditional perturbation theory to open nonlinear two-level systems, treating decoherence parameterγ as a perturbation. By this virtue, we give a perturbative solution to the master equation, which describes a nonlinear open quantum system. The results show that for small decoherence rateγ, the ratio of the nonlinear rate C to the tunneling coefficient V (i.e., r=C/V) determines the validity of the perturbation theory. For small ratio r, the perturbation theory is valid, otherwise it yields wrong results.     

Stability of solitary wave trains in Hamiltonian wave systems

A class of Hamiltonian nonlinear wave equations possessing complex solitary waves with exponential decay is studied. It is shown that the interpulse interactions in a train of nearly identical solitary waves with large separations between the individual solitary waves are approximately described by a double Toda lattice system, with two variables at each lattice site. Under certain conditions, which are explicitly identified as Cauchy-Riemann equations, the two dynamical variables are real and imaginary parts of a single complex variable, leading to the complex Toda lattice equations, which is a discrete integrable dynamical system. This analysis generalizes to certain nonintegrable partial differential equations a recent result for the nonlinear Schr?dinger equation, and is important for the study of nonlinear communications channels in optical fibers. An example, the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schr?dinger equation, is worked out in detail to show that the theory can be carried through analytically. The theory is used to determine the stability of an infinite chain of nearly identical pulses separated by large time intervals. The entire theory is nonperturbative in the sense that the nonlinear wave equation need not be a weak perturbation of an integrable one.     

Analyses and computations of asymmetric Z-scan for large phase shift from diffraction theory

Based on Presnel-Kirchhoff diffraction theory, we set up a diffraction model of nonlinear optical media to Gaussian beam, which can interpret the Z-scan phenomenon from a new way. This theory is not only well consistent with the conventional Z-scan theory in the case of small nonlinear phase shift, but also can fit for the lager nonlinear phase shift. Numeric computations indicate the shape of the .Z-scan curve is greatly affected by the value of the nonlinear phase shift. The symmetric dispersion-like Z-scan curve is only valid for small nonlinear phase shift (|Δφ0| < π), but with increasing the nonlinear phase shift, the valley of the transmittance is severely suppressed and the peak is greatly enhanced. Further calculations show some new interesting results.     

Complex geometrical optics of Kerr type nonlinear media

The paper generalizes paraxial complex geometrical optics (PCGO) for Gaussian beam (GB) propagation in nonlinear media of Kerr type. Ordinary differential equations for the beam amplitude and for complex curvature of the wave front are derived, which describe the evolution of axially symmetric GB in a Kerr type nonlinear medium. It is shown that PCGO readily provides the solutions of NLS equation obtained earlier from diffraction theory on the basis of the aberration-free approach. Besides reproducing classical results of self-focusing PCGO readily describes an influence of the initial curvature of the wave front on the beam evolution in a medium of Kerr type including a nonlinear graded-index fiber. The range of applicability of the PCGO theory is discussed as well which is helpful for avoiding nonphysical solutions.     

Diffusive stability of spatial periodic solutions of the Swift-Hohenberg equation

We are interested in the nonlinear stability of the Eckhaus-stable equilibria of the Swift-Hohenberg equation on the infinite line with respect to small integrable perturbations. The difficulty in showing stability for these stationary solutions comes from the fact that their linearizations possess continuous spectrum up to zero. The nonlinear stability problem is treated with renormalization theory which allows us to show that the nonlinear terms are irrelevant, i.e. that the fully nonlinear problem behaves asymptotically as the linearized one which is under a diffusive regime.     

Coherence and saturation properties of second-harmonic generation with a nonlinear crystal inside the laser cavity

The basic equations for second-harmonic generation including noise are derived for the case that the nonlinear crystal is put inside the laser cavity. A realistic model of a (detuned) laser with two-level atoms in single-mode operation is taken using the nonlinear theory of laser noise which describes the laser saturation effects, the phase diffusion and the intensity fluctuations. The reaction of the second-harmonic field on the fundamental field is taken into account as well as the reaction of the fundamental field on the laser. The nonlinear crystal is described by microscopic anharmonic oscillator equations (without introducing nonlinear susceptibilities by perturbation theory). The saturation of the polarization of the nonlinear medium is taken into account exactly with the only assumption that the influence of third and higher harmonics should be small. The electromagnetic field is described semiclassically by stochastic equations. In all equations, the damping is introduced simultaneously with Markoffian fluctuating forces by coupling to heatbaths. The equations are solved exactly in the stationary state without noise (the time dependent solution including noise will be presented in a subsequent paper). The most important saturation effect is a frequency shift which depends on the laser intensity.     

On the theory of nonlinear response in a nonideal plasma

A theory of nonlinear response is developed for studying nonlinear phenomena and nonlinear transport processes in nonideal Coulomb systems. Temporal plasma echo and transformation of waves in a nonideal Coulomb system are studied on the basis of the theory of nonlinear response to mechanical perturbations. General constraints imposed on nonlinear response functions are considered, and the model for determining quadratic response functions is formulated. The conditions for the emergence of temporal plasma echo and wave transformation are determined. It is shown that these nonlinear effects in a nonideal plasma can be initiated by ultrashort field pulses. A theory of transport is developed for determining the Burnett transport properties of a nonideal multielement plasma. A procedure is proposed for comparing the phenomenological conservation equations for a charged continuous medium and equations of motion for the operators of corresponding dynamic variables. The Mori algorithm is used for deriving the equations of motion for operators of dynamic variables in the form of generalized Langevin equations. The linearized Burnett approximation is considered in detail. The properties of the matrices of coefficients of higher-order derivatives in the system of conservation equations in the linearized Burnett approximation, which are important for hydrodynamic applications, are discussed. Various versions of the theory of nonlinear response are compared.     

Nonlinear photonic crystals: I. Quadratic nonlinearity

We develop a consistent mathematical theory of weakly nonlinear periodic dielectric media for the dimensions one, two and three. The theory is based on the Maxwell equations with classical quadratic and cubic constitutive relations. In particular, we give a complete classification of different nonlinear interactions between Floquet-Bloch modes based on indices which measure the strength of the interactions. The indices take on a small number of prescribed values which are collected in a table. The theory rests on the asymptotic analysis of oscillatory integrals describing the nonlinear interactions.     

以衍射理论为基础考虑双光子吸收的Z-扫描理论

Quasilinearization method: Nonperturbative approach to physical problems

The general properties of the quasilinearization method (QLM), particularly its fast quadratic convergence, monotonicity, and numerical stability, are analyzed and illustrated on different physical problems. The method approaches the solution of a nonlinear differential equation by approximating the nonlinear terms by a sequence of linear ones and is not based on the existence of a small parameter. It is shown that QLM gives excellent results when applied to different nonlinear differential equations in physics, such as Blasius, Lane-Emden, and Thomas-Fermi equations, as well as in computation of ground and excited bound-state energies and wave functions in quantum mechanics (where it can be applied by casting the Schrödinger equation in the nonlinear Riccati form) for a variety of potentials most of which are not treatable with the help of perturbation theory. The convergence of the QLM expansion of both energies and wave functions for all states is very fast and the first few iterations already yield extremely precise results. The QLM approximations, unlike the asymptotic series in perturbation theory and 1/N expansions, are not divergent at higher orders. The method sums many orders of perturbation theory as well as of the WKB expansion. It provides final and accurate answers for large and infinite values of the coupling constants and is able to handle even supersingular potentials for which each term of the perturbation series is infinite and the perturbation expansion does not exist.     

Nonlocality in quantum theory understood in terms of Einstein's nonlinear field approach

We discuss Einstein's ideas on the need for a theory that is both objective and local and also his suggestion for realizing such a theory through nonlinear field equations. We go on to analyze the nonlocality implied by the quantum theory, especially in terms of the experiment of Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen. We then suggest an objective local field model along Einstein's lines, which might explain quantum nonlocality as a coordination of the properties of pulse-like solutions of the nonlinear equations that would represent particles. Finally, we discuss the implications of our model for Bell's inequality.This article is an extension and modification of a previously published article. (See Ref. 1.)

Nonlinear fluctuation-dissipation relations and stochastic models in nonequilibrium thermodynamics: I. Generalized fluctuation-dissipation theorem

The paper is devoted to the theory of thermal fluctuations in nonlinear macroscopic systems and to the derivation of variational principles of nonlinear nonequilibrium thermodynamics. In the first part of the paper rigorous universal fluctuation-dissipation relations for nonlinear classical and quantum systems, subjected to dynamic as well as thermodynamic perturbations, are derived and analyzed. General expressions for dissipative fluxes and nonlinear transfer coefficients with the help of fluctuation cumulants are found. The canonical structure of nonlinear evolution equations of macrovariables is derived and the rule of introducing langevinian random forces into these equations, in accordance with fluctuation-dissipation relations. A Markovian theory of fluctuations in a stationary nonequilibrium state is constructed.     

Lagrangian formulation of a geometrical scalar-tensor theory of gravitation

The author's geometrical theory of the scalar-tensor gravitational field is extended by formulating it in terms of a Lagrangian. An exact solution of the coupled nonlinear field equations for a static point mass is also presented. This theory which is conformally equivalent to the empty spaceEinstein equations predicts the same results for experiments as the usual theory of Brans and Dicke which has a non-zero energy momentum tensor.     

Pull-in Instability Analysis of Nanoelectromechanical Rectangular Plates Including the Intermolecular,Hydrostatic, and Thermal Actuations Using an Analytical Solution Methodology

The current paper presents a thorough study on the pull-in instability of nanoelectromechanical rectangular plates under intermolecular, hydrostatic, and thermal actuations. Based on the Kirchhoff theory along with Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory, a nonclassical model is developed. Using the Galerkin method(GM), the governing equation which is a nonlinear partial differential equation(NLPDE) of the fourth order is converted to a nonlinear ordinary differential equation(NLODE) in the time domain. Then, the reduced NLODE is solved analytically by means of the homotopy analysis method. At the end, the effects of model parameters as well as the nonlocal parameter on the deflection, nonlinear frequency, and dynamic pull-in voltage are explored.     

Simple approach for charge renormalization in highly charged macroions

We revisit the notion of renormalized charge, which is a concept of central importance in the field of highly charged colloidal or polyelectrolyte solutions. Working at the level of a linear Debye-Hückel-like theory only, we propose a versatile method to predict the saturated amount of charge renormalization, which is, however, a nonlinear effect arising at strong electrostatic coupling. The results are successfully tested against nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann theory for polyions of various shapes (planar, cylindrical, and spherical), both in the infinite dilution limit or in confined geometry, with or without added electrolyte. Our approach, accurate for monovalent microions in solvents such as water, is finally confronted against experimental results on charged colloids and B-DNA solutions.     

Nonlinear waves in weakly dispersive random media

The propagation of nonlinear waves in random media is an important aspect of nonlinear wave theory and has a long and informative history. This paper describes the basic ideas of the approaches that have been applied. The average-field method, which has been used most extensively in linear problems, is considered. This approach is then shown to be incorrect as far as nonlinear processes are concerned. Finally, a new scheme is proposed average-form the method, which allows consistent evolution equations to be obtained for nonlinear waves in random media.Institute of Applied Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences.

Weakly nonlinear non-Boussinesq internal gravity wavepackets

Internal gravity wavepackets induce a horizontal mean flow that interacts nonlinearly with the waves if they are of moderately large amplitude. In this work, a new theoretical derivation for the wave-induced mean flow of internal gravity waves is presented. Using this we examine the weakly nonlinear evolution of internal wavepackets in two dimensions. By restricting the two-dimensional waves to be horizontally periodic and vertically localized, we derive the nonlinear Schrödinger equation describing the vertical and temporal evolution of the amplitude envelope of non-Boussinesq waves. The results are compared with fully nonlinear numerical simulations restricted to two dimensions. The initially small-amplitude wavepacket grows to become weakly nonlinear as it propagates upward due to non-Boussinesq effects. In comparison with the results of fully nonlinear numerical simulations, the nonlinear Schrödinger equation is found to capture the dominant initial behaviour of the waves, indicating that the interaction of the waves with the induced horizontal mean flow is the dominant mechanism for weakly nonlinear evolution. In particular, due to modulational stability, hydrostatic waves propagate well above the level at which linear theory predicts they should overturn, whereas strongly non-hydrostatic waves, which are modulationally unstable, break below the overturning level predicted by linear theory.     

Mapping nonlinear gravity into General Relativity with nonlinear electrodynamics

We show that families of nonlinear gravity theories formulated in a metric-affine approach and coupled to a nonlinear theory of electrodynamics can be mapped into general relativity (GR) coupled to another nonlinear theory of electrodynamics. This allows to generate solutions of the former from those of the latter using purely algebraic transformations. This correspondence is explicitly illustrated with the Eddington-inspired Born–Infeld theory of gravity, for which we consider a family of nonlinear electrodynamics and show that, under the map, preserve their algebraic structure. For the particular case of Maxwell electrodynamics coupled to Born–Infeld gravity we find, via this correspondence, a Born–Infeld-type nonlinear electrodynamics on the GR side. Solving the spherically symmetric electrovacuum case for the latter, we show how the map provides directly the right solutions for the former. This procedure opens a new door to explore astrophysical and cosmological scenarios in nonlinear gravity theories by exploiting the full power of the analytical and numerical methods developed within the framework of GR.
