An Approximate Solution of the Master Equation with the Dissipator being a Set of Projectors

Published Aug 30, 2007• 3 citations
arXivHTMLPDF

Abstract

In this paper we consider a quantum open system and treat the master equation with some restricted dissipator which consists of a set of projection operators (projectors). The exact solution is given under the commutable approximation (in our terminology). This is the first step for constructing a general solution.

Dynamics of Multi-Level Open Quantum Systems with Initial System-Environment Correlations

Nikolay N. Bogolubov, Andrey Vladimirovich Soldatov

Exact and approximate master equations were derived by the projection operator method for the reduced statistical operator of a multi-level open quantum system with finite number $$N$$ of quantum eigenstates interacting with arbitrary external deterministic fields and dissipative environment simultaneously. Unlike conventional master equations derived by the projection operator method for the quantum systems of this kind so far, these equations are homogeneous in the reduced statistical operator while, at the same time, taking into account initial correlations between the multi-level system and the environment. Consistent representation of the multi-level system evolution in terms of the $$SU(N)$$ operator algebra facilitates efficient numerical analysis of these equations derived for various physically realistic quantum models.

Exact quantum master equations for Markoffian systems

Eliade N. Stefanescu, Paul E. Sterian

We show that the general quantum master equation used in quantum optics can be put in the form of Lindblad’s master equation obtained in the frame of the general theory of the dynamical semigroups. In this case, the dissipative interaction is described in the most general form by a system of openness parameters. We find the expressions of these parameters as functions of the operators of the dissipative environment.

Quantum mechanics in general quantum systems (III): open system dynamics

An Min Wang

We investigate the exact solution, perturbation theory and master equation of open system dynamics based on our serial studies on quantum mechanics in general quantum systems [An Min Wang, quant-ph/0611216 and quant-ph/0611217]. In a system-environment separated representation, a general and explicit solution of open system dynamics is obtained, and it is an exact solution since it includes all order approximations of perturbation. In terms of the cut-off approximation of perturbation and our improved scheme of perturbation theory, the improved form of the perturbed solution of open systems absorbing the partial contributions from the high order even all order approximations is deduced. Moreover, only under the factorizing initial condition, the exact master equation including all order approximations is proposed. Correspondingly, the perturbed master equation and its improved form different from the existed master equation are given. In special, the Redfield master equation is derived out without using Born-Markov approximation. The solution of open system dynamics in the Milburn model is also gained. As examples, Zurek model of two-state open system and its extension with two transverse fields are studied.

Time-dependent projection-operator approach to master equations for coupled systems

C. R. Willis, Richard H. Picard

In this paper we derive master equations for two or more systems coupled to each other, perhaps strongly, by using a generalization of the usual projection-operator technique to include time-dependent projection operators. The coupled systems may be either similar or dissimilar and classical or quantum mechanical. Whereas the customary approaches to coupled systems are best able to treat situations in which some of the systems are "baths" with a specified density operator or phase-space probability density, our approach allows us to treat situations where it is necessary or convenient to treat the coupled systems on an equal footing. In our scheme the "relevant" part of the full density operator is considered to be the uncorrelated part of the full density operator and is a symmetric functional of the reduced density operators of each of the coupled subsystems. The "irrelevant" part of the density operator is then the part describing correlations between the coupled systems. Our formalism is particularly useful where systems are coupled to one another predominantly in a self-consistent fashion. First, we develop exact master equations for two coupled systems, taking as our prototype the dynamical problem of quantum optics, where a spatially extended collection of two-level atoms interact with a multimode optical field. We then generalize our results to $N$ coupled systems, taking as our prototype the kinetics of a classical nonideal gas interacting through two-body forces, and derive exact master equations for the system. We then consider as examples several approximate theories resulting from our exact equations. In the case of the imperfect gas we investigate the low-density limit and show how Bogoliubov's form of the Boltzmann equation emerges from our formalism, as well as corrections due to Klimontovich. We consider as special cases of our exact quantum-optical equations the equations in the first Born approximation, with and without memory, and show how several existing quantum-optical master equations are contained in our general results. As a second example in quantum optics, we consider the case where the predominant behavior of the system is described by the self-consistent-field or coupled Bloch and Maxwell equations and derive a first-order perturbation description for deviations from self-consistent-field behavior.

AN APPROXIMATE SOLUTION OF THE JAYNES–CUMMINGS MODEL WITH DISSIPATION II: ANOTHER APPROACH

Kazuyuki Fujii, Tatsuo Suzuki

In the preceding paper (arXiv: 1103.0329 [quant-ph]) we treated the Jaynes–Cummings model with dissipation and gave an approximate solution to the master equation for the density operator under the general setting by making use of the Zassenhaus expansion. However, to obtain a compact form of the approximate solution (which is in general complicated infinite series) is very hard when an initial condition is given. To overcome this difficulty we develop another approach and obtain a compact approximate solution when some initial condition is given.

Exact and approximate master equations were derived by the projection operator method for the reduced statistical operator of a multi-level open quantum system with finite number NNN of quantum eigenstates interacting with arbitrary external deterministic fields and dissipative environment simultaneously.
