High-order time-splitting Hermite and Fourier spectral methods

In this paper, we are concerned with the numerical solution of the time-dependent Gross–Pitaevskii Equation (GPE) involving a quasi-harmonic potential. Primarily, we consider discretisations that are based on spectral methods in space and higher-order exponential operator splitting methods in time. The resulting methods are favourable in view of accuracy and efficiency; moreover, geometric properties of the equation such as particle number and energy conservation are well captured.Regarding the spatial discretisation of the GPE, we consider two approaches. In the unbounded domain, we employ a spectral decomposition of the solution into Hermite basis functions; on the other hand, restricting the equation to a sufficiently large bounded domain, Fourier techniques are applicable. For the time integration of the GPE, we study various exponential operator splitting methods of convergence orders two, four, and six.Our main objective is to provide accuracy and efficiency comparisons of exponential operator splitting Fourier and Hermite pseudospectral methods for the time evolution of the GPE. Furthermore, we illustrate the effectiveness of higher-order time-splitting methods compared to standard integrators in a long-term integration.     

Geometric phase in eigenspace evolution of invariant and adiabatic action operators

The theory of geometric phase is generalized to a cyclic evolution of the eigenspace of an invariant operator with N-fold degeneracy. The corresponding geometric phase is interpreted as a holonomy inherited from the universal Stiefel U(N) bundle over a Grassmann manifold. Most significantly, for an arbitrary initial state, this holonomy captures the inherent geometric feature of the state evolution that may not be cyclic. Moreover, a rigorous theory of geometric phase in the evolution of the eigenspace of an adiabatic action operator is also formulated, with the corresponding holonomy being elaborated by a pullback U(N) bundle.     

Geometric phase in open systems

We calculate the geometric phase associated with the evolution of a system subjected to decoherence through a quantum-jump approach. The method is general and can be applied to many different physical systems. As examples, two main sources of decoherence are considered: dephasing and spontaneous decay. We show that the geometric phase is completely insensitive to the former, i.e., it is independent of the number of jumps determined by the dephasing operator.

Representation of the coherent state for a beam splitter operator and its applications

A beam splitter operator is a very important linear device in the field of quantum optics and quantum information. It can not only be used to prepare complete representations of quantum mechanics, entangled state representation, but it can also be used to simulate the dissipative environment of quantum systems. In this paper, by combining the transform relation of the beam splitter operator and the technique of integration within the product of the operator, we present the coherent state representation of the operator and the corresponding normal ordering form. Based on this, we consider the applications of the coherent state representation of the beam splitter operator, such as deriving some operator identities and entangled state representation preparation with continuous-discrete variables. Furthermore, we extend our investigation to two single and two-mode cascaded beam splitter operators, giving the corresponding coherent state representation and its normal ordering form. In addition, the application of a beam splitter to prepare entangled states in quantum teleportation is further investigated, and the fidelity is discussed. The above results provide good theoretical value in the fields of quantum optics and quantum information.     

基于几何级数展开的鬼波压制方法*

海上拖缆地震数据采集,检波器位于海平面以下,由于海平面的反射作用,检波器接收到的除了上行的一次波,还包括下行的鬼波,因为一次波和鬼波的干涉作用,导致地震信号的有效频带变窄,分辨率降低。为了恢复信号的有效频带,需要进行鬼波压制的宽频处理。该文提出了一种基于逆鬼波算子几何级数展开的鬼波压制技术。几何级数的每一项都是一个波场传播算子,级数的叠加可以实现鬼波的压制,通过对几何级数的截断,可以得到只含上行波的反射信号。数值算例证明了该文方法的有效性,因为波场延拓算子在频率波数域进行,借助快速傅里叶变换,该文方法的效率很高。     

Interaction between atom and radiation with sinusoidally shaped amplitude: Applications to frequency standards

The study of the evolution of a two-level atom crossing an electromagnetic field with a sinusoidally shaped amplitude is of interest in frequency metrology because a few Cs beam standards share this type of realization. The Magnus expansion method helps to find a solution to this problem giving approximate analytical results, which are made easy to handle by a series expansion in the detuning between atom resonance and radiation frequency. Numerical checks show that rather simple expressions provide an accuracy better than 10^–3 in the matrix elements of the evolution operator for useful ranges of power levels and frequency differences. Two examples concerned with Cs beam standards are discussed.At the time of this work A.G. Shahian was a guest at Politecnico di Milano, with a grant of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Italy     

Time-domain modeling of nonlinear distortion of pulsed finite amplitude sound beams

This work aims to validate a time domain numerical model for the nonlinear propagation of a short pulse of finite amplitude sound beam propagation in a tissue-mimicking liquid. The complete evolution equation is simply derived by a superposition of elementary operators corresponding to the 'one effect equation'. Diffraction LD, absorption and dispersion LAD, and nonlinear distortion LNL effects are treated independently using a first order operator-splitting algorithm. Using the method of fractional steps, the normal particle velocity and the acoustical pressure are calculated plane by plane, at each point of a two-dimensional spatial grid, from the surface of the plane circular transducer to a specified distance. The LA operator is a time convolution between the particle velocity and the causal attenuation filter built after the Kramers-Kroning relations. The LNL operator is a time-based transformation obtained by following an implicit Poisson analytic solution. The LD operator is the usual Rayleigh integral. We present a comparison between theoretical and experimental temporal pressure waveform and axial pressure curves for fundamental (2.25 MHz), second, third and fourth harmonics, obtained after spectral analysis.

Field Theory Methods in Classical Dynamics

A Dirac picture perturbation theory is developed for the time evolution operator in classical dynamics in the spirit of the Schwinger–Feynman–Dyson perturbation expansion and detailed rules are derived for computations. Complexification formalisms are given for the time evolution operator suitable for phase space analyses, and then extended to a two-dimensional setting for a study of the geometrical Berry phase as an example. Finally a direct integration of Hamilton's equations is shown to lead naturally to a path integral expression, as a resolution of the identity, as applied to arbitrary functions of generalized coordinates and momenta.

Solution of the Master Equation in Laser Process Under the Action of Linear Resonance Force

The master equation of density operator in laser process under action of linear resonance force can be concisely solved by virtue of thermo-entangled state representation and the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators. We obtain the infinitive operator-sum representation of density operator. As the application of this method, the evolution of thermal field and that of vacuum state in this model are discussed. The results show that thermal field maintains its original character, and vacuum state evolves thermal field in laser process.     

Algebraic dynamics solutions and algebraic dynamics algorithm for nonlinear ordinary differential equations

The problem of preserving fidelity in numerical computation of nonlinear ordinary differential equations is studied in terms of preserving local differential structure and approximating global integration structure of the dynamical system. The ordinary differential equations are lifted to the corresponding partial differential equations in the framework of algebraic dynamics, and a new algorithm—algebraic dynamics algorithm is proposed based on the exact analytical solutions of the ordinary differential equations by the algebraic dynamics method. In the new algorithm, the time evolution of the ordinary differential system is described locally by the time translation operator and globally by the time evolution operator. The exact analytical piece-like solution of the ordinary differential equations is expressed in terms of Taylor series with a local convergent radius, and its finite order truncation leads to the new numerical algorithm with a controllable precision better than Runge Kutta Algorithm and Symplectic Geometric Algorithm.     

Some Evolution Formulas on the Optical Fields Propagation in Realistic Environments

Evolution formulas of the density operator, the photon number distribution, and the Wigner function are derived for the problem on the optical fields propagation in realistic environments. Using the idea “reservoir modeled by beam splitter (BS)” and the Weyl expansion of the density operator, we obtain these formulas cleverly, which are very useful for quantum optics and quantum statistics. As an application, we study the time evolution of the photon number distribution and the Wigner function for single-photon-added coherent state in thermal environment.

Quantum Dynamics in Noisy Backgrounds: from Sampling to Dissipation and Fluctuations

We investigate the dynamics of a quantum system coupled linearly to Gaussian white noise using functional methods. By performing the integration over the noisy field in the evolution operator, we get an equivalent non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, which evolves the quantum state with a dissipative dynamics. We also show that if the integration over the noisy field is done for the time evolution of the density matrix, a gain contribution from the fluctuations can be accessed in addition to the loss one from the non-hermitian Hamiltonian dynamics. We illustrate our study by computing analytically the effective non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, which we found to be the complex frequency harmonic oscillator, with a known evolution operator. It leads to space and time localisation, a common feature of noisy quantum systems in general applications.
