Quantum Maps with Memory from Generalized Lindblad Equation

In this paper, we proposed the exactly solvable model of non-Markovian dynamics of open quantum systems. This model describes open quantum systems with memory and periodic sequence of kicks by environment. To describe these systems, the Lindblad equation for quantum observable is generalized by taking into account power-law fading memory. Dynamics of open quantum systems with power-law memory are considered. The proposed generalized Lindblad equations describe non-Markovian quantum dynamics. The quantum dynamics with power-law memory are described by using integrations and differentiation of non-integer orders, as well as fractional calculus. An example of a quantum oscillator with linear friction and power-law memory is considered. In this paper, discrete-time quantum maps with memory, which are derived from generalized Lindblad equations without any approximations, are suggested. These maps exactly correspond to the generalized Lindblad equations, which are fractional differential equations with the Caputo derivatives of non-integer orders and periodic sequence of kicks that are represented by the Dirac delta-functions. The solution of these equations for coordinates and momenta are derived. The solutions of the generalized Lindblad equations for coordinate and momentum operators are obtained for open quantum systems with memory and kicks. Using these solutions, linear and nonlinear quantum discrete-time maps are derived.     

On the confinement of a Dirac particle to a two-dimensional ring

In this contribution, we propose a new model for studying the confinement of a spin-half particle to a two-dimensional quantum ring for systems described by the Dirac equation by introducing a new coupling into the Dirac equation. We show that the introduction of this new coupling into the Dirac equation yields a generalization of the two-dimensional quantum ring model proposed by Tan and Inkson [W.-C. Tan, J.C. Inkson, Semicond. Sci. Technol. 11 (1996) 1635] for relativistic spin-half quantum particles.     

Neutral particles with anomalous magnetic moment in external e.m. fields: the proper time formulation

In this paper we evaluate the expression for the Green function of a pseudo-classical neutral spinning particle interacting with constant electromagnetic external fields by taking into account the anomalous magnetic moment of the particle. The spin degrees of freedom are described in terms of Grassmann variables and the evolution operator is obtained through the Fock–Schwinger proper time method.     

Langevin equation for a free particle driven by power law type of noises

We study a generalized Langevin equation for a free particle driven by N internal noises. The mean square displacement and velocity autocorrelation function are derived in case of a mixture of Dirac delta, power law and Mittag-Leffler noises. Additionally, a frictional memory kernel of distributed order is considered. The long time limit and short time limit are analyzed, and the dominant contributions of noises on particle dynamics is discussed. Various different diffusive behaviors (subdiffusion, superdiffusion, normal diffusion, ultraslow diffusion) are obtained. The considered problem may be used in the theory of anomalous diffusion in complex environment.     

Berry phase effects in the dynamics of Dirac electrons in doubly special relativity framework

We consider the Doubly Special Relativity (DSR) generalization of Dirac equation in an external potential in the Magueijo–Smolin base. The particles obey a modified energy–momentum dispersion relation. The semiclassical diagonalization of the Dirac Hamiltonian reveals the intrinsic Berry phase effects in the particle dynamics.     

Quantum field theory for a system of interacting photons,electrons, and phonons

A Lagrangian in (1 + 3)-dimensional space-time which describes the interaction of photons, electrons, and phonons is proposed. This is a generalization of Rodriguez-Nuñez' model. This Lagrangian is also singular in the sense of Dirac. The path-integral quantization of this system is performed with the aid of the Dirac formalism for a singular Lagrangian and the method of functional integration. The phase-space generating functional of the Green function of this system is deduced. The Ward identities in canonical formalism for local symmetries are derived, and the Ward identities of proper vertices for this system are obtained. The conserved charges at the quantum level are also obtained. The effective Lagrangian in configuration space for the present model is derived in the case = const. Thus, the Feynman rule can be deduced immediately.     

Study of a generalized Langevin equation with nonlocal dissipative force,harmonic potential and a constant load force

We analyze the motion of a particle governed by a generalized Langevin equation with nonlocal dissipative force, linear external force and a constant load force. We consider the dissipative memory kernel consisting of two terms. One of them is described by the Dirac delta function which represents a local friction, whereas for the second one we consider two types: the exponential and power-law functions which represent nonlocal dissipative forces. For these cases, one can obtain exact results for the relaxation function. Then, we obtain the first moments and variances of the displacement and velocity. The long-time behaviors of these quantities are also investigated.     

Instability in a network coevolving with a particle system

We study the coupled dynamics of a network and a particle system. Particles of density rho diffuse freely along edges, each of which is rewired at a rate given by a decreasing function of particle flux. We find that the coupled dynamics leads to an instability toward the formation of hubs and that there is a dynamic phase transition at a threshold particle density rho c. In the low density phase, the network evolves into a star-shaped one with the maximum degree growing linearly in time. In the high density phase, the network exhibits a fat-tailed degree distribution and an interesting dynamic scaling behavior. We present an analytic theory explaining the mechanism for the instability and a scaling theory for the dynamic scaling behavior.

A generalized RPA theory of the nuclear response function

A new method of calculating the response function is proposed. The new method gives the response which is explicitly a generalization of the RPA response in a perturbative sense.When we calculate the transition amplitude of a one-body operator from the ground state to a particle-hole (p-h) state, the new response function provides all the second-order effects in addition to the first-order ones which can be obtained in the RPA theory. The new response function is obtained by the following procedure. Firstly, we consider the second RPA theory which is a generalization of the usual RPA theory. It is found that the second RPA misses some of the second-order effects. Secondly, we formulate a modified second RPA equation from the equation of motion of the operators, and then derive the p-h response function from it. It is found that the newly derived p-h response function is obtained by adding new terms to the self-energy of the p-h response function derived from the second RPA theory. Lastly, we introducd vertex functions which take into account the transitions from a particle (hole) state to a particle (hole) state. Note that the p-h response function deals with only the transition amplitudes from a particle (hole) state to a hole (particle) state.

Quantum parameter estimation in the Unruh–DeWitt detector model

Relativistic effects on the precision of quantum metrology for particle detectors, such as two-level atoms are studied. The quantum Fisher information is used to estimate the phase sensitivity of atoms in non-inertial motions or in gravitational fields. The Unruh–DeWitt model is applicable to the investigation of the dynamics of a uniformly accelerated atom weakly coupled to a massless scalar vacuum field. When a measuring device is in the same relativistic motion as the atom, the dynamical behavior of quantum Fisher information as a function of Rindler proper time is obtained. It is found out that monotonic decrease in phase sensitivity is characteristic of dynamics of relativistic quantum estimation. The origin of the decay of quantum Fisher information is the thermal bath that the accelerated detector finds itself in due to the Unruh effect. To improve relativistic quantum metrology, we reasonably take into account two reflecting plane boundaries perpendicular to each other. The presence of the reflecting boundary can shield the detector from the thermal bath in some sense.     

Correlation effects in a reaction-diffusion system with nonlinear damping

The Schlögl model of a chemical reaction is generalized to take into account the correlation effects arising from the finiteness of the correlation time. This generalization is based on a generalization of Fisher’s equation with a memory function and cubic nonlinearity. Oscillatory states are demonstrated to be possible in such a system. The dissipative structure existence conditions are specified.     

Relativistic transport equation for spin 12 particles

For the model of positive energy Dirac particles with short range interaction a transport equation for the one- particle Wigner function is obtained. This transport equation is a generalization of the non-relativistic Walsmann- Snider equation for spin particles.     

The Dirac particle in a one-dimensional “hydrogen atom”

Specific features of the behavior of the spectrum of steady states of the Dirac particle in a regularized ??Coulomb?? potential V??(z) = ?q/(|z| + ??) as a function of the cutting parameter of ?? in 1 + 1 D are investigated. It is shown that in such a one-dimensional relativistic ??hydrogen atom?? at ?? ? 1, the discrete spectrum becomes a quasi-periodic function of ??; this effect depends on the bonding constant analytically and has no nonrelativistic analog. This property of the Dirac spectral problem clearly demonstrates the presence of a physically containable energy spectrum at arbitrary small ?? > 0 and simultaneously the absence of the regular limiting transition to ?? ?? 0. Thus, the necessity of extension of a definition for the Dirac Hamiltonian with irregularized potential in 1 + 1 D is confirmed at all nonzero values of the bonding constant q. It is also noted that the three-dimensional Coulomb problem possesses a similar property at q = Z?? > 1, i.e., when the selfconsistent extension is required for the Dirac Hamiltonian with an irregularized potential.     

Fractional Dynamics of Relativistic Particle

Fractional dynamics of relativistic particle is discussed. Derivatives of fractional orders with respect to proper time describe long-term memory effects that correspond to intrinsic dissipative processes. Relativistic particle subjected to a non-potential four-force is considered as a nonholonomic system. The nonholonomic constraint in four-dimensional space-time represents the relativistic invariance by the equation for four-velocity u _μ u ^μ +c ²=0, where c is a speed of light in vacuum. In the general case, the fractional dynamics of relativistic particle is described as non-Hamiltonian and dissipative. Conditions for fractional relativistic particle to be a Hamiltonian system are considered.     

Evolution of the structure factor in a hyperbolic model of spinodal decomposition

We consider the modification of the Cahn-Hilliard equation when a time delay process through a memory function is taken into account. The memory effects are seen to affect the dynamics of phase transition at short times. The process of fast spinodal decomposition associated with a conserved order parameter - concentration is studied numerically. Details of a semi-implicit numerical scheme used to simulate the kinetics of spinodal decomposition and evolution of the structure factor are discussed. Analysis of the modeled structure factor predicted by a hyperbolic model of spinodal decomposition is presented in comparison with the parabolic model of Cahn and Hilliard. It is shown that during initial periods of decomposition the structure factor exhibits wave behavior. Analytical treatments explain such behavior by existence of damped oscillations in structure factor at earliest stages of phase separation and at large values of the wave-number. These oscillations disappear gradually in time and the hyperbolic evolution approaches the pure dissipative parabolic evolution of spinodal decomposition.     

Invariant resolutions for several Fueter operators

A proper generalization of complex function theory to higher dimension is Clifford analysis and an analogue of holomorphic functions of several complex variables were recently described as the space of solutions of several Dirac equations. The four-dimensional case has special features and is closely connected to functions of quaternionic variables. In this paper we present an approach to the Dolbeault sequence for several quaternionic variables based on symmetries and representation theory. In particular we prove that the resolution of the Cauchy–Fueter system obtained algebraically, via Gröbner bases techniques, is equivalent to the one obtained by R.J. Baston (J. Geom. Phys. 1992).
