Abstract

We examine temperature cooling of optical chaotic light in a quantum dissipation channel with the damping parameter k.The way we do it is by introducing its thermal vacuum state which can expose entangling effect between the system and the reservoir. The temperature cooling formula is derived, which depends on the parameter k, by adjusting k one can control temperature.

Effective temperature pulses in open quantum systems

Pedro Portugal, Fredrik Brange, Christian Flindt

Controlling the temperature of nanoscale quantum systems is becoming increasingly important in the efforts to develop thermal devices such as quantum heat valves, heat engines, and refrigerators and to explore fundamental concepts in quantum thermodynamics. In practice, however, it is challenging to generate arbitrary time-dependent temperatures, similarly to what has been achieved for electronic voltage pulses. To overcome this problem, we here propose a fully quantum mechanical scheme to control the time-dependent environment temperature of an open quantum system. To this end, we consider a collection of quantum harmonic oscillators that mediate the interactions between the quantum system and a thermal reservoir, and we show how an effective time-dependent temperature can be realized by modulating the oscillator frequencies in time. By doing so, we can apply effective temperature pulses to the quantum system, and it can be cooled below the temperature of the environment. Surprisingly, the scheme can be realized using only a few oscillators, and our proposal thereby paves the way for controlling the temperature of open quantum systems.

Thermal vacuum state corresponding to squeezed chaotic light and its application

Zhi-Long Wan, Hong-Yi Fan, Zhen Wang

For the density operator (mixed state) describing squeezed chaotic light (SCL) we search for its thermal vacuum state (a pure state) in the real-fictitious space. Using the method of integration within ordered product (IWOP) of operators we find that it is a kind of one- and two-mode combinatorial squeezed state. Its application in evaluating the quantum fluctuation of photon number reveals: the stronger the squeezing is, the larger a fluctuation appears. The second-order degree of coherence of SCL is also deduced which shows that SCL is classic. The new thermal vacuum state also helps to derive the Wigner function of SCL.

Dissipation of a two-mode squeezed vacuum state in the single-mode amplitude damping channel

Nanrun Zhou, Liyun Hu, Hong-Yi Fan

We explore how a two-mode squeezed vacuum state sechθe a † b † tanhθ |00〉 evolves when it undergoes a single-mode amplitude dissipative channel with rate of decay κ. We find that in this process not only the squeezing parameter decreases, tanhθ → e −κt tanhθ, but also the second-mode vacuum state evolves into a chaotic state exp{ b † b ln[(1 − e −2κt )tanh 2 θ]}. The outcome state is no more a pure state, but an entangled mixed state.

Damping of displaced chaotic light field in amplitude dissipation channel*

Ke Zhang, Lanlan Li, Hong-Yi Fan

We explore how a displaced chaotic light (DCL) behaves in an amplitude dissipation channel, and what is its time evolution formula of photon number distribution. With the use of the method of integration within ordered product product of operator (IWOP) and the new binomial theorem involving two-variable Hermite polynomials we obtain the evolution law of DCL in the channel.

Measurement of damping and temperature: Precision bounds in Gaussian dissipative channels

Alex Monràs, Fabrizio Illuminati

We present a comprehensive analysis of the performance of different classes of Gaussian states in the estimation of Gaussian phase-insensitive dissipative channels. In particular, we investigate the optimal estimation of the damping constant and reservoir temperature. We show that, for two-mode squeezed vacuum probe states, the quantum-limited accuracy of both parameters can be achieved simultaneously. Moreover, we show that for both parameters two-mode squeezed vacuum states are more efficient than coherent, thermal, or single-mode squeezed states. This suggests that at high-energy regimes, two-mode squeezed vacuum states are optimal within the Gaussian setup. This optimality result indicates a stronger form of compatibility for the estimation of the two parameters. Indeed, not only the minimum variance can be achieved at fixed probe states, but also the optimal state is common to both parameters. Additionally, we explore numerically the performance of non-Gaussian states for particular parameter values to find that maximally entangled states within $d$-dimensional cutoff subspaces ($d\ensuremath{\leqslant}6$) perform better than any randomly sampled states with similar energy. However, we also find that states with very similar performance and energy exist with much less entanglement than the maximally entangled ones.
