Solving nonlinear master equation describing quantum damping by virtue of the entangled state representation

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).     

Evolution of the single-mode squeezed vacuum state in amplitude dissipative channel

Using the way of deriving infinitive sum representation of density operator as a solution to the master equation describing the amplitude dissipative channel by virtue of the entangled state representation, we show manifestly how the initial density operator of a single-mode squeezed vacuum state evolves into a definite mixed state which turns out to be a squeezed chaotic state with decreasing-squeezing and deeoherence. We investigate average photon number, photon statistics distributions for this mixed state.     

Evolution of a two-mode squeezed vacuum in the amplitude dissipative channel

For the first time we derive the dissipating result of an initial two-mode squeezed pure vacuum state passing through a two-mode amplitude dissipative channel described by the direct product of two independent single-mode master equations. Although these two master equations do not mix the two modes (there is no coupling between them), since the two-mode squeezed state is simultaneously an entangled state, the final state which emerges from passing this channel is a two-mode mixed density operator. The compact expression of the outcoming state is obtained, which manifestly shows that as time evolves, the squeezing effect decreases.

A new optical field generated as an output of the displaced Fock state in an amplitude dissipative channel

We propose a new optical field and show that such an optical field can be generated as an output of a displaced Fock state in an amplitude dissipative channel.We derive new generating function formulas and binomial formula involving twovariable Hermite polynomials to reach this result.The photon number average in this new optical field is m+|α|2e-2κt,which indicates that controlling the photon number can be realized by adjusting the value of m or|α|2orκ.The time evolution law of displaced Fock state in a thermo reservoir is thus revealed.     

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.     

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.     

A new optical field state as an output of diffusion channel when the input being number state

By analyzing theoretical scheme of quantum controlling through photon addition,we propose a new optical field whose density operator asρ=λ(1-λ)l:Ll(-λ2aa/1-λ)e-λaa:(here::denotes normal ordering symbol),which is named Laguerre-polynomialweighted chaotic state.We show that such state is the solution to the master equation d/dtρ=-κ(aaρ+ρaa-aρa-aρa),describing a diffusion channel,with the initial number state|l l|,andλ=1/(1+κt).This new state is characteristic of possessing photon number l+κt at time t,so the photon number by adjusting the diffusion parameterκcan be controlled.This master equation is solved using the summation method within ordered product of operators and the entangled state representation.The physical difference between the diffusion and the amplitude damping is noted.     

Solving Master Equation for Two-Mode Density Matrices by Virtue of Thermal Entangled State Representation

We extend the approach of solving master equations for density matrices by projecting it onto the thermal entangled state representation (Hong-Yi Fan and Jun-Hua Chen, J. Phys. A35 (2002) 6873) to two-mode case. In this approach the two-photon master equations can be directly and conveniently converted into c-number partial differential equations. As an example, we solve the typical master equation for two-photon process in some limiting cases.     

Evolution law of Wigner function in laser process

Based on the density operator’s o perator-sum representation r ecently obtained by Fan and Hu for a laser process (Opt. Commun., 2008, 281: 5571; Opt. Commun., 2009, 282: 932; Phys. Lett. B, 2008, 22: 2435), we derive the evolution law of Wigner operator, the law is concisely expressed in the normally ordered formΔ(α,α*,t)=Tπ:exp?[-2T(a?e-(κ-g)t-α*)-(ae-(k-g)t-α)] :, where g and κ are the cavity gain and the loss, respectively, and T≡ (κ-g )(κ+g-2ge^{-2(κ-g) t})^-1. When t=0,Δ(α,α,t)→1π : exp?[-2(a?-α*)-(a-α)] :, which is the initial Wigner operator. Using this formalism the evolution law of Wigner functions in laser process can be directly obtained.     

Dissipation of a two-mode squeezed vacuum state in the single-mode amplitude damping channel

We explore how a two-mode squeezed vacuum state sechθ e^{a+b+ tanh θ} |00> evolves when it undergoes a singlemode amplitude dissipative channel with rate of decay κ. We find that in this process not only the squeezing parameter decreases, tanh θ → e^-κt tanh θ, but also the second-mode vacuum state evolves into a chaotic state exp{b⁺bln[1 - e^-2κt tanh² θ]}. The outcome state is no more a pure state, but an entangled mixed state.

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.     

Evolution of a two-mode squeezed vacuum for amplitude decay via continuous-variable entangled state approach

Extending the recent work completed by Fan et al. [Front. Phys. 9(1), 74 (2014)] to a two-mode case, we investigate how a two-mode squeezed vacuum evolves when it undergoes a two-mode amplitude dissipative channel, with the same decay rate κ, using the continuous-variable entangled state approach. Our analytical results show that the initial pure-squeezed vacuum state evolves into a definite mixed state with entanglement and squeezing, decaying over time as a result of amplitude decay. We also investigate the time evolutions of the photon number distribution, the Wigner function, and the optical tomogram in this channel. Our results indicate that the evolved photon number distribution is related to Jacobi polynomials, the Wigner function has a standard Gaussian distribution (corresponding to the vacuum) at long periods, losing its nonclassicality due to amplitude decay, and a larger squeezing leads to a longer decay time.     

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.

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.     

Time evolution of distribution functions in dissipative environments

By introducing the thermal entangled state representation,we investigate the time evolution of distribution functions in the dissipative channels by bridging the relation between the initial distribution function and the any time distribution function.We find that most of them are expressed as such integrations over the Laguerre-Gaussian function.Furthermore,as applications,we derive the time evolution of photon-counting distribution by bridging the relation between the initial distribution function and the any time photon-counting distribution,and the time evolution of Rfunction characteristic of nonclassicality depth.
