Interaction-free evolution in the presence of time-dependent Hamiltonians

Abstract

The generalization of the concept of interaction-free evolutions (IFE) [Napoli et al., Phys. Rev. A 89, 062104 (2014)] to the case of time-dependent Hamiltonians is discussed. It turns out that the time-dependent case allows for much richer structures of interaction-free states and interaction-free subspaces. The general condition for the occurrence of IFE is found and exploited to analyze specific situations. Several examples are presented, each one associated to a class of Hamiltonians with specific features.

Generalized interaction-free evolutions

Benedetto Militello, Dariusz Chruściński, ANTONINO MESSINA +2 more

A thorough analysis of the evolutions of bipartite systems characterized by the ``effective absence'' of interaction between the two subsystems is reported. First, the connection between the concepts underlying interaction-free evolutions (IFE) and decoherence-free subspaces (DFS) is explored, showing intricate relations between these concepts. Second, starting from this analysis and inspired by a generalization of DFS already known in the literature, we introduce the notion of generalized IFE (GIFE), also providing a useful characterization that allows one to develop a general scheme for finding GIFE states.

Interaction-free evolving states of a bipartite system

Anna Napoli, M. Guccione, Antonio Messina +1 more

We show that two interacting physical systems may admit entangled pure or nonseparable mixed states evolving in time as if the mutual interaction Hamiltonian were absent. In this paper we define these interaction-free evolving (IFE) states and characterize their existence for a generic binary system described by a time-independent Hamiltonian. A comparison between IFE subspace and the decoherence-free subspace is reported. The set of all pure IFE states is explicitly constructed for a nonhomogeneous spin-star-system model

Time-dependent Hamiltonian

Efstratios Manousakis

Abstract This chapter discusses how to treat the case of a perturbation which depends on time. It also discusses the case of the so-called real-time evolution and the adiabatic process which has received more recent attention because of experiments on quantum dynamics in trapped cold atoms.

Cyclic quantum-evolution dependence on the Hamiltonian and geometric phase

Lian-Ao Wu

Recently we showed that quantum cyclic evolution occurs, provided the initial wave function was one of the eigenfunctions of the evolution operator, whatever the concrete form of the Hamiltonian [Phys. Rev. A 50, 5317 (1994)]. This paper will show that, for some specific Hamiltonians, cyclic evolution may occur, even if the initial wave function is not one of the eigenfunctions of the evolution operator. The general conditions for the occurrence of cyclic evolution is derived. Several interesting examples of quantum evolution, also including noncyclic evolution, and some specific geometric phases are given. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

Time evolution

Kenichi Konishi, Giampiero Paffuti

Abstract There is a vast class of interesting physical problems, however, which involve time-dependent Hamiltonians and which are not accessible to perturbative treatment. In this chapter, we discuss some of these systems.

In this note, we introduce one basic concept in nonlinear optical spectroscopy: time-dependent Hamiltonian. Then we give one example of application of the time evolution operator.
