A statistical model of homopolymer DNA, coupling internal base-pair states (unbroken or broken) and external thermal chain fluctuations, is exactly solved using transfer kernel techniques. The dependence on temperature and DNA length of the fraction of denaturation bubbles and their correlation length is deduced. The thermal denaturation transition emerges naturally when the chain fluctuations are integrated out and is driven by the difference in bending (entropy dominated) free energy between broken and unbroken segments. Conformational properties of DNA, such as persistence length and mean-square-radius, are also explicitly calculated, leading, e.g., to a coherent explanation for the experimentally observed thermal viscosity transition. 相似文献

We calculate the entanglement entropy for a sphere and a massless scalar field in any dimensions. The reduced density matrix is expressed in terms of the infinitesimal generator of conformal transformations keeping the sphere fixed. The problem is mapped to the one of a thermal gas in a hyperbolic space and solved by the heat kernel approach. The coefficients of the logarithmic term in the entropy for 2 and 4 spacetime dimensions are in accordance with previous numerical and analytical results. In particular, the four-dimensional result, together with the one reported by Solodukhin, gives support to the Ryu–Takayanagi holographic ansatz. We also find that there is no logarithmic contribution to the entropy for odd spacetime dimensions. 相似文献

In this work, we explore a new connection between quantum groups and Tsallis entropy through the energy spectrum of a Hamiltonian with SUq(2) symmetry. Identifying the deformation parameter of the entropy with the parameter of deformation of the associated quantum group, we deduce Tsallis entropy for states related to such a system with SUq(2) symmetry and conducted an investigation of quantum entanglement. 相似文献

We propose that the logarithmic term in the entanglement entropy computed in a conformal field theory for a (d−2)-dimensional round sphere in Minkowski spacetime is identical to the logarithmic term in the entanglement entropy of extreme black hole. The near horizon geometry of the latter is H2×Sd−2. For a scalar field this proposal is checked by direct calculation. We comment on relation of this and earlier calculations to the “brick wall” model of 't Hooft. The case of generic 4d conformal field theory is discussed. 相似文献

The time evolution of the quantum entropy in a coherently driven triple quantum dot molecule is investigated. The entanglement of the quantum dot molecule and its spontaneous emission field is coherently controlled by the gate voltage and the rate of an incoherent pump field. The degree of entanglement between a triple quantum dot molecule and its spontaneous emission fields is decreased by increasing the tunneling parameter. 相似文献

We consider oscillators evolving subject to a periodic driving force that dynamically entangles them, and argue that this gives the linearized evolution around periodic orbits in a general chaotic Hamiltonian dynamical system. We show that the entanglement entropy, after tracing over half of the oscillators, generically asymptotes to linear growth at a rate given by the sum of the positive Lyapunov exponents of the system. These exponents give a classical entropy growth rate, in the sense of Kolmogorov, Sinai and Pesin. We also calculate the dependence of this entropy on linear mixtures of the oscillator Hilbert-space factors, to investigate the dependence of the entanglement entropy on the choice of coarse graining. We find that for almost all choices the asymptotic growth rate is the same. 相似文献

This paper shows the Fokker--Planck equation of a dynamical system
driven by coloured cross-correlated white noises in the absence and
presence of a small external force. Based on the Fokker--Planck
equation and the definition of Shannon's information entropy, the
time dependence of entropy flux and entropy production can be
calculated. The present results can be used to explain the extremal
behaviour of time dependence of entropy flux and entropy production
in view of the dissipative parameter γ of the system, coloured
cross-correlation time \tau and coloured cross-correlation strength

We use an estimator of quantum criticality based on the entanglement entropy to discuss the ground state properties of the 1D anisotropic Kondo necklace model. We found that the T=0 phase diagram of the model is described by a critical line separating an antiferromagnetic phase from a Kondo singlet state. Moreover we calculate the conformal anomaly on the critical line and obtain that c tends to 0.5 as the thermodynamic limit is reached. Hence we conclude that these transitions belong to Ising universality class being, therefore, second order transitions instead of infinite order as claimed before. 相似文献

The concept of entanglement entropy appears in multiple contexts, from black hole physics to quantum information theory, where it measures the entanglement of quantum states. We investigate the entanglement entropy in a simple model, the spin-boson model, which describes a qubit (two-level system) interacting with a collection of harmonic oscillators that models the environment responsible for decoherence and dissipation. The entanglement entropy allows to make a precise unification between entanglement of the spin with its environment, decoherence, and quantum phase transitions. We derive exact analytical results which are confirmed by Numerical Renormalization Group arguments both for an ohmic and a subohmic bosonic bath. The entanglement entropy obeys universal scalings. We make comparisons with entanglement properties in the quantum Ising model and in the Dicke model. We also emphasize the possibility of measuring this entropy using charge qubits subject to electromagnetic noise; such measurements would provide an empirical proof of the existence of entanglement entropy. 相似文献

This paper shows the Fokker-Planck equation of a dynamical system driven by quasimonochromatic noise. Based on the Fokker-Planck equation and the definition of Shannon's information entropy, the exact time dependence of entropy flux and entropy production for the system is calculated. The relationship between the properties of quasimonochromatic noise and dissipative parameter and their effects on entropy flux and entropy production are discussed. 相似文献

The dynamics of a superconducting (SC) qubit interacting with a field under decoherence with and without time-dependent coupling effect is analyzed. Quantum features like the collapse–revivals for the dynamics of population inversion, sudden birth and sudden death of entanglement, and statistical properties are investigated under the phase damping effect. Analytic results for certain parametric conditions are obtained. We analyze the influence of decoherence on the negativity and Wehrl entropy for different values of the physical parameters. We also explore an interesting relation between the SC-field entanglement and Wehrl entropy behavior during the time evolution. We show that the amount of SC-field entanglement can be enhanced as the field tends to be more classical. The studied model of SC-field system with the time-dependent coupling has high practical importance due to their experimental accessibility which may open new perspectives in different tasks of quantum formation processing. 相似文献

We investigate the evolution of the atomic quantum entropy and the atom-field entanglement in a system of a V-configuration three-level atom interacting with a single-mode field with additional forms of nonlinearities of both the field
and the intensity-dependent atom-field coupling. With the derivation of the unitary operator within the frame of the dressed
state and the exact results for the state of the system we perform a careful investigation of the temporal evolution of the
entropy. A factorization of the initial density operator is assumed, considering the field to be initially in a squeezed coherent
or binomial state. The effects of the mean photon number, detuning, Kerr-like medium and the intensity-dependent coupling
functional on the entropy are analyzed. 相似文献

Ray–Singer torsion is a numerical invariant associated with a compact Riemannian manifold equipped with a flat bundle and a Hermitian structure on this bundle. In this Letter, we show how one can remove the dependence on the Riemannian metric and on the Hermitian structure with the help of a base point and of a Euler structure in order to obtain a topological invariant. A numerical invariant for a Euler structure with additional data is also constructed. 相似文献

We introduce a method of generating systematic mean field (MF) approximations for the nonequilibrium steady state of ferromagnetic Ising driven diffusive systems (DDS), based on the maximum entropy principle due to Jaynes. In the phase coexistence region, MF approximations to the master equation do not provide a closed system of equations in the MF variables. This can be traced to the conservation of the order parameter by the stochastic dynamics. Our maximum entropy mean field (MEMF) approximation method is applicable to high temperatures as well to the low-temperature phase coexistence region. It is based on a derivation of a generalized variational free energy from the maximum entropy principle, with the MF evolution equations playing the role of constraints. In the phase coexistence region this free energy is nonconvex and is interpreted by means of a Maxwell construction. We use a pair-level variant of the MEMF approximation to calculate quantities of interest for the ferro-magnetic Ising DDS on a square lattice. Results of calculations with several different choices of transition rates satisfying local detailed balance are discussed and compared with those obtained by other methods. 相似文献

The quantum Brownian motion model is a typical model in the study of nonequilibrium quantum thermodynamics. Entropy is one of the most fundamental physical concepts in thermodynamics.In this work, by solving the quantum Langevin equation, we study the von Neumann entropy of a particle undergoing quantum Brownian motion. We obtain the analytical expression of the time evolution of the Wigner function in terms of the initial Wigner function. The result is applied to the thermodynamic equilibrium initial state, which reproduces its classical counterpart in the high temperature limit. Based on these results, for those initial states having well-defined classical counterparts, we obtain the explicit expression of the quantum corrections to the entropy in the weak coupling limit. Moreover, we find that for the thermodynamic equilibrium initial state, all terms odd in h are exactly zero. Our results bring important insights to the understanding of entropy in open quantum systems. 相似文献
