Abstract

Exchange of quantum states between two interacting harmonic oscillator along their evolution time is discussed. It is analyzed the conditions for such exchange starting from a generic initial state and demonstrating that the effect occurs exactly only for the particular states C0|0>+Cn|N>, which includes the interesting qubits components |0>,|1>. It is also determined the relation between the coupling constant and characteristic frequencies of the oscillators to have the complete exchange.

Quantum coupled oscillators versus forced oscillator

Antonio S. M. de Castro, V. V. Dodonov

We compare the time evolutions of two quantum systems: a quantum harmonic oscillator driven by a classical force and two coupled quantum harmonic oscillators. We find the conditions under which the first system can be considered as a `mean-field approximation' to the second one. This happens in the weak coupling limit provided that the `master' oscillator was initially in a highly excited quantum state with small fluctuations of the canonical variables (such as the coherent state or displaced thermal state), while the `subordinate' oscillator must not be `too excited'. The essential difference between the resonance and nonresonance cases is discussed. In particular, the effect of the resonance-quantum-state exchange is demonstrated.

Quantum state exchange between indirectly coupled modes

Antonio S. M. de Castro, J. F. Peruzzo, V. V. Dodonov

The problem of quantum state exchange between three coupled quantum harmonic oscillators (which can represent interacting modes of the electromagnetic field in nonlinear crystal or interaction between laser beams and vibrational modes of ions in traps) is considered. We review different definitions of state exchange and find conditions of its possibility for arbitrary initial states in a chain of three oscillators with bilinear resonance coupling (corresponding to the rotating wave approximation), analyzing the structure of integrals of motion and propagators of the Schr\"odinger equation, as well as the Wigner functions. The influence of different parameters (such as detunings between coupling constants and temperatures of the intermediate oscillator and ``receiver'') on the fidelity of exchange is analyzed.

Quantum Harmonic Oscillator with Time-Dependent Frequency

S. Solimeno, Paolo Di Porto, B. Crosignani

The temporal evolution of the state vector relative to a harmonic oscillator with time-dependent frequency is examined. The Schrödinger equation is solved by choosing the instantaneous eigenstates of the Hamiltonian as the basis, thus getting an infinite set of coupled linear differential equations. This formulation is particularly suitable for studying the cases in which the Hamiltonian undergoes a very slow or a sudden variation from an initial constant value into a final one. A rigorous proof of adiabatic invariance to all orders in the slowness parameter is given for the transition probabilities. An application to the evolution of an initially coherent state is made.

Generation of entanglement between qubits in a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator

E. T. Owen, M. C. Dean, C. H. W. Barnes

We present a scheme for generating entanglement between two qubits associated with a pair of particles, which move and interact, in a one-dimensional harmonic-oscillator potential. The spatial wave functions of the particles are initially localized on either side of the oscillator. As they ``fall'' toward each other, we find that the interaction between the two particles produces an effective exchange interaction between the qubits. This allows us to produce a ``power-of-swap'' operation on the initial two-qubit quantum state without requiring any time-dependent control. We find that under certain conditions, we can generate maximally entangled states from a product state with a fidelity that is only weakly dependent on initialization errors.

Quantum-Mechanical Description of Two Coupled Harmonic Oscillators

Lee E. Estes, Thomas H. Keil, Lorenzo M. Narducci

Systems of interacting harmonic oscillators have recently received considerable attention as models for describing a variety of physical problems. We have investigated the validity of the rotating-wave approximation which constitutes the traditional approach to the solution of the dynamical problem by comparing it with the exact solution. A numerical comparison has been made and the limits of validity of the rotating-wave approximation has been established in terms of the strength of oscillator interaction.In particular, the time development of dynamical operators and certain transition probabilities have been compared. In the region where the rotating-wave approximation is valid, the time evolution of the quasiprobability distribution $P(\ensuremath{\alpha}, t)$ of one oscillator is given for several initial conditions. A counting scheme similar to the argument given by Feynman for the driven harmonic oscillator, is proposed for the interpretation of the time-dependent transition amplitudes between number states.

Time evolution of an interacting cross-Kerr interacting harmonic oscillators

David Edward Bruschi

We study the time evolution of two coupled quantum harmonic oscillators interacting through nonlinear optomechanical-like Hamiltonians that include cross-Kerr interactions. We employ techniques developed to decouple the time-evolution operator and obtain the analytical solution for the time evolution of the system. We apply these results to obtain explicit expressions of a few quantities of interest. Our results do not require approximations and therefore allow to study the nature and implications of the full nonlinearity of the system. Potential applications and extensions to optomechanics are also discussed.
